Barkan Method Hot Yoga Three-Day Workshop

To understand Barkan Yoga, it’s essential to first explore the roots of hot yoga, from which it evolved. Hot yoga, as we know it today, is largely attributed to Bikram Choudhury, who developed Bikram Yoga in the 1970s. Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises practiced in a room heated to approximately 105°F (40°C) with 40% humidity. The Barkan Method evolved from this lineage while expanding the practice through additional postures, flowing transitions, deeper anatomical understanding, and a more accessible approach for modern practitioners. Created by Jimmy Barkan, the Barkan Method blends the discipline and intensity of traditional hot yoga with elements of Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar alignment principles, and therapeutic movement.

Embodied Resilience with Katie Wells

October 3rd, 1 – 4 pm

While many eras in history were objectively harder, our world now feels uniquely overwhelming. Chronic stimuli, stress and reactivity amplify suffering and limit our ability to respond with effectiveness and care.
This workshop cultivates resilience through polyvagal regulation, self-compassion and self-empowerment practices drawn from somatic psychology, breath work, guided meditation, and conscious dance.
We will reflect how we give our power away and how to reclaim it. We will learn how flight, flight, freeze, fawn, and collapse look like and how to bring them back into regulation. We will explore when and how to say yes or no. We will deepen our sense of trust in ourselves. No experience needed—just a willingness to move what is real.
This work is about expanding the capacity to hold what life brings, meeting it with presence, right-action, and resiliency— for a more stable world from the inside out.
