FULL WEEKEND: Strength, Balance, and Equanimity - Sun & Moon Yoga
Sun & Moon Yoga Studio
We are thrilled to welcome Doug Keller back to our community for a weekend of practice, learning, and connection as we explore often overlooked dimensions of yoga that support healthy aging, resilient movement, and emotional well-being. Through a blend of therapeutic asana, fascial-based movement, resistance training, pranayama, mudra, bandha, and meditation, participants will discover new ways to cultivate strength, mobility, balance, and ease in both body and mind. From the feet to the shoulders, from the breath to the gaze, each session reveals how seemingly small actions can profoundly influence posture, movement, nervous system regulation, and mental clarity. Throughout the weekend, you'll gain accessible tools for reducing pain, improving function, deepening your practice, and developing the steadiness, vitality, and equanimity needed to navigate everyday life with greater confidence and ease.
