Yin Yoga & the Art of Impermanence
SHiFT Yoga – Santa Ynez, CA
Sunday, November 8
5–6:30pm
Join James for a 90-minute Yin Yoga ceremony exploring how we move through change in our bodies and in our lives. Through stillness, conscious breathing, and somatic inquiry, we’ll soften unnecessary effort and experience the changing landscape of our bodies. In the spirit of autumn, we’ll make space to honor what is ending, appreciate what remains, and meet what comes next with greater presence and curiosity.
A candlelit Yin practice for the darkening season, weaving long-held postures, breath, stillness, and reflection into a quiet ritual of listening inward. An invitation to notice what is present, make space for what is ready to soften, and reconnect with the clarity and self-trust to choose what you carry forward.
Wild & Wise
200-hour Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training
March–October 2027
Santosha Yoga Collective – Loomis, CA
I’m grateful to be returning to Santosha Yoga Collective as a guest teacher for this trauma-informed 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. I’ll be teaching the Yin Yoga portion of the program alongside a team of teachers I trust.
Wild & Wise approaches yoga as an integrated path through movement, philosophy, nervous system education, anatomy, meditation, Ayurveda, subtle body practices, accessible teaching, and the development of each teacher’s individual voice.
