Super Led Primary & Conference

Super Led Primary & Conference with Didi von Deck & Nicole Ward

Sunday, September 28

7:15am • Brookline

Conference is a beloved Mysore tradition where Ashtanga teachers and students from our 3 Mysore schools (Harvard, Brookline and South End) gather to share food, wisdom and inspiration on practice.

Conferences explore a specific topic related to practice and are a unique opportunity to ask questions about asana, philosophy or any aspects of yoga, and to learn from and connect with colleagues. 3 times a year the Ashtanga communities unite for a communal Led Primary followed by a breakfast conference at our Life Alive Cafe at Harvard Square (winter), South End (summer) and Brookline (fall).

Didi & Nicole will be hosting Super Led Primary and Conference on Sunday, September 28 at 7:15am in the Brookline studio. Sign up for class below to let us know you’re coming & travel afterwards to Life Alive Cafe Brookline (888 Commonwealth Ave, Brookline) for the breakfast conference!

Yoga mats are available to rent in studio for $3

Hot Curious: An Intro to Hot Power Flow

Hot Curious: An Intro to Hot Power Flow with Lyndsay Allyn Cox

Sunday, September 28

1-2:30pm • South End

Curious about Hot Power Yoga but nervous about the heat? This workshop is your gentle on-ramp. We’ll move through a modified Journey Into Power sequence (the usual sequence in a Hot Power Flow) in a warm (not hot) room — around 90–95° — giving you space to explore, breathe, and build confidence.

We’ll kick things off with a short, grounding convo about the magic (and logistics) of practicing in a heated room — what to expect, how to prep, and simple tools to help you feel strong, steady, and hydrated. Then we’ll dive into 75 minutes of soulful movement, including an intentional period of rest, designed to ignite your power and soften your edges. Come curious. Leave empowered.

✨ Perfect for those who’ve said: “I’ve wanted to try Hot Power, but...”

🔥 Heat, but make it empowering — not overwhelming.

‍🧘🏽‍♀️ Come ready to move, learn, and sweat.

Bring water, a yoga mat/towel (rentals available for $5 in studio), and your curiosity.

Cost: $35

Ten Wednesdays

October 1, October 8, October 15, October 22, October 29, November 5, November 12, November 19, December 3, December 10

9-10:30am •  Harvard Sq

Insight Society is a ten-week mindfulness-based mental health program designed to address symptoms of anxiety and depression within a group setting. This program combines short-term group psychotherapy with yogic practices to provide a somatic and dynamic approach to healing.

Participants will gain insights into their relational, behavioral, and cognitive patterns during this structured ten-week intensive. Throughout the program, you will receive psychoeducation on anxiety and depression, learn about the neuroscience behind our suffering, gently explore trauma and its impact on our psyche, and discover effective strategies for understanding and reducing symptoms of distress.

Group therapy is particularly beneficial as it creates a supportive environment where participants can share their experiences and concerns with others who can offer empathy, connection, and diverse perspectives. This shared experience fosters a sense of community and belonging, helping to reduce the feelings of isolation often associated with anxiety and depression.

Led by licensed psychotherapist and hot power yoga instructor Sarah Schermerhorn, LMHC, this group will help you better understand yourself and the patterns that contribute to difficulties in daily life. It also offers the opportunity to cultivate practices that enhance your mood and sense of self.

Each session will include a 30-minute yoga or mindfulness practice, followed by a 60-minute group therapy discussion. A breakdown of each week's theme and coping strategy is listed below:

Week 1 (October 1): Psychoeducation on Anxiety & Depression

Week 2 (October 8): How Yoga & Meditation Work

Week 3 (October 15): The Neuroscience of Suffering

Week 4 (October 22): The Discovery of the Resourced Self

Week 5 (October 29): The Mind Gut Connection

Week 6 (November 5): Self Compassion & Loving Kindness

Week 7 (November 12): Symptoms of Trauma

Week 8 (November 19): Working with Trauma

Week 9 (December 3): The Various Paths to Further Healing

Week 10 (December 10): Recap and Conclusion

Please remember to bring a mat and a water bottle each week. Yoga mats are available rent in studio for $3.

To sign up for the group, contact Sarah (sarahscherme@gmail.com) to schedule a 30-minute initial intake session then click sign up below to enroll. Space is limited, so please reach out soon to secure your spot.

Cost: $1,150

Cost includes the intake session and the 10 weekly sessions & is not able to be prorated for any missed sessions.

This program is not eligible for the YogiPass 20% off discount.



About Sarah

In her life outside of the studio, Sarah is a psychotherapist who works primarily with emerging adults and adults. Her theoretical orientation is based on the belief that therapy should be as unique as the individual and should stem from a place of compassionate and collaborative curiosity.

Sarah creatively integrates her role as a psychotherapist into her teaching approach. She is passionate about blending strength, athleticism, and mindfulness into a rhythmic flow that aids students in healing, processing, and connecting with their bodies. She tends to be quite active in treatment, and places immense emphasis on the profound healing that can come from a genuine therapeutic relationship.

The Art of Alchemy: Yoga, Poetry & Creative Sustainability with Lindsey O’Neill

Sunday, October 19

1-3pm • Harvard Square

In a world that often pulls us away from the sacred in everyday life, how can yoga, self-care, and poetry transform our inner experiences into living art? How can we turn the tension between heart and mind into clarity, connection, and creative expression?

Through a slow-flow vinyasa practice paired with creative writing, you’ll explore the fullness of your own experience, uncover the sacredness woven into daily life, and translate it into authentic, expressive art.

By the end, you’ll have cultivated a stronger connection to your own voice, drafted new poems, and developed self-care practices to sustain a lifelong dialogue between your yoga, your words, and your world.

Wear clothing you can move in. Please bring a notebook, writing utensil & yoga mat (mats are available to rent in the studio for $3)

About Masha

Masha began practicing yoga in 2005 and quickly became a devoted student. Over time, she became increasingly aware that chronic stress was pushing her body toward burnout. Balancing a fast-paced corporate career, a new baby, and a practice that was calling for radical change became unsustainable. In 2016, she left the corporate world and enrolled in Yoga Teacher Training in Boston. She has been teaching in Boston ever since.

Masha’s teaching style has evolved over the years, yet her core intention remains the same: to offer yoga as a practical tool for self-inquiry and support the body’s innate capacity to heal.

Sama Ashtanga Intensive

Sama Ashtanga Intensive with Chuck Miller

Monday, July 13 – Friday, July 17

8:30-3:30pm each day • Back Bay

(1112 Boylston Street Floor 3, Boston, MA)

Sama!

This word touches the essence of what Chuck wants to teach. It is the first word Pattabhi Jois would say at the beginning of class. It is the first chapter of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. It is the first word of the first pranayama practice in Ashtanga Yoga.

Chuck Miller, widely recognized as one of the world’s leading Ashtanga teachers, has inspired countless practitioners across the globe with his clarity, depth, and dedication to the art of yoga. A student of Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, Chuck helped co-found YogaWorks, shaping modern yoga in the United States, and has mentored many respected teachers, including Natasha Rizopoulos. His teaching combines decades of experience, technical mastery, and a deep connection to the heart of the practice.

We can learn one simple thing, knowing which gives us insight into many others. A small set of teachings can guide us through the complexity of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga—or any practice. This understanding helps us to be more calm and focused, reducing stress and confusion for both teacher and student.

Format:

  1. Morning Practice: 3 hours

  2. Afternoon Clinic: 3 hours

  3. 1 hour break (between 11:30am-12:30pm)

Daily Themes:

  1. Day One – Samasthiti in Depth:

    We explore how one pose, one element of practice can include all other aspects. Going deep into this sets the stage for everything else, simplifying navigation through this great practice.

  2. Day Two – Surya Namaskar-s:

    Using insights from Day One, we apply them to Sun Salutations. We observe how much we compromise to achieve external appearances of progress and reset our intentions to prioritize quality over quantity.

  3. Day Three-Five – Traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Form:

    We continue applying these principles as we progress through the traditional form. By slowing down, polishing fundamentals, and deepening the roots, we eventually return to increasing speed and observe where we fail.

This is the essence of practice—practice rather than performance. Yoga must not be performative, comparative, or competitive. It is just for us—all of us—to improve, to become better humans, to become humane beings.

Chuck prefers to call the asanas Practices, rather than poses or postures—they are alive, dynamic, ever-changing. It is not about speed or distance, but about starting correctly, with the right intention and effort. These foundational efforts bear fruit throughout your practice.

The Practice is a powerful diagnostic tool, allowing observation of aspects of ourselves that are otherwise invisible. Recognizing these patterns, or Samskaras, gives the opportunity to free ourselves from them, planting seeds of personal empowerment and continued evolution.

“This is not physical exercise,” Pattabhi Jois would say. “It is mental training, mental cleaning, clearing.” This is the deeper, real purpose of our practice—and it supports everything we do as human beings.

Open to All Open-Minded Students:

This intensive works at almost all levels of experience. While it is not an introduction to yoga, both beginners and advanced students can find an appropriate level of challenge. Teachers will also benefit, gaining skills to guide multiple levels of students in a conducted class and develop their abilities in the Mysore style of practice.



Cost: $700

Please bring a yoga mat (yoga mats are available to rent in studio for $3) 

* cost includes all five sessions, there is no proration for missing a session *

About Chuck:

Chuck Miller began practicing yoga in 1971, and studied the Ashtanga vinyasa method of practice and its underlying philosophical system one-on-one with its founder, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, for over 18 years beginning in 1980. By practicing and teaching the method before, during and after the yoga boom, he has developed a simple, effective approach that changes the lives of those who do it.

Chuck enjoys teaching with a focus on the holistic nature of Ashtanga yoga, presenting it as a philosophical system as well as a strong practical method. Chuck is known for his gentle but deliberate hands-on adjustments which are both reassuring and challenging.

Yoga teacher since 1988, Chuck is a former Director of Ashtanga Yoga and co-owned the original Yoga Works in Santa Monica, CA, for over 16 years. He is frequently traveling and teaching around the world.

The Pelvis is Everything

The Pelvis is Everything with Judith Hanson Lasater

September 11-13, 2026

10am-4pm each day

Down Under Central Square • 585 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge


The pelvis is at the center of the body. It is also at the center of our movements, on and off the mat. Usually, however, asana is taught with more of a focus on the spinal column or peripheral joints and structures. But when we learn to move from the pelvis, everything changes.

In this course we will focus on the pelvis, its anatomy, and on its energetic importance to our lives through lecture and practice. We will study the part the pelvis plays in creating yoga poses, including standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists and inversions. We will question with an open mind and heart some of the assumptions we make about the pelvis, and how we as teachers can open to a new way of seeing the pelvis and its potential in asana. 

We will explore the dance called “walking”, and the understanding that Eastern and Western cultures teach people to walk differently. We will also explore what physical and emotional consequences are associated with the way we walk. Included will be a discussion of the pelvic floor as well.

The first session of each day will focus on Active practice and the second session on Quiet practice like Restorative poses and pranayama. These practices take on new depth when done with an awareness of the importance of the pelvis and its position.

Revolution occurs in every asana, more so in some than in others. In the workshop, we will explore this process in twisting poses (Parivrtta and Parsva) and in poses that don’t seem to be twisting poses yet still incorporate turning round and round as an integral part of the pose.

Arm Balances, Bandhas, and Finding Lightness in the Practice: Level II with Jessica Walden

Sunday, August 10
12:30-2:30pm • 
South End

Often many Ashtanga practitioners like to do handstands because they can help build strength needed for difficult arm balances in intermediate and advanced series.

Handstands and arm balances are also very fun and keep us young!!!

This workshop will tie everything together by exploring how we can use the bandhas and find our center and balance while we are upside down and/or balancing solely on our hands.

We will explore more advanced arm balances, preparation techniques for handstands, and handstands themselves. This will be a challenging, invigorating, and fun workshop. 

All levels welcome. 

Cost: $45

Yoga mats are available to rent in studio for $3

About Jessica Walden: Jessica started a daily Ashtanga Yoga practice in 1994. From 2001 to 2011 she made several trips to Mysore, India, to study with Patthabi Jois, Sharath and Saraswati and was granted a Teaching Authorization Certificate (Level 2) from the KPJAYI in Mysore in 2009. Jessica has taught at at a variety of studios in the USA and Australia, including Tim Miller’s Shala and the Jois Yoga, and has assisted Sharath at KPJAYI Mysore. More than anything, Jessica sees herself as a life-long student of this practice. 
10 years ago, Jessica suffered a major spinal injury that was diagnosed as a grade 3 spondylolisthesis at L5/S1 and the loss of the disk between those two vertebras. This not only meant that she could no longer do intense backbends, but the condition often requires invasive surgery to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain. While initially this injury caused a lot of fear and pain, Jessica did not get back surgery and instead used the injury to inform how she would practice from that day forward. With an awareness of what is happening on the inside and an observance of how she can access the subtle energies deep within to find control, she has cultivated a gentle strength, grace and flexibility. Jessica’s approach to her teaching is to provide methods for students that help them to find their own control, grace, and effortlessness in the practice.

9-10:30am • Newton

If you often feel worried or nervous throughout the day or struggle with overthinking, restlessness, and sleep disturbances, this is the right group for you.

This six-week, mindfulness-based program is designed to address symptoms of anxiety. Participants will gain insight into their relational, behavioral, and cognitive patterns in this structured group setting.

Throughout the program, you can expect to learn about common triggers of anxiety, the neuroscience behind sensations, and an introduction to healing trauma, as well as effective strategies for understanding and reducing anxiety.

Group therapy is particularly effective for individuals struggling with anxiety as it provides a unique environment where participants can share their experiences and worries with others who understand their challenges. This shared experience fosters a sense of community and belonging that can reduce feelings of isolation, often accompanying anxiety.

Led by licensed psychotherapist and hot power flow instructor Sarah Schermerhorn, LMHC, this group will help you understand and alleviate your anxiety while cultivating practices that improve your overall mental health.

Each session will include a 30-minute yoga/mindfulness practice and a 60-minute therapy group. A breakdown of each week's theme and coping strategy is listed below:

Week 1 (June 16): Psychoeducation on Anxiety & Yoga

Week 2 (June 23): The Neuroscience Behind Anxiety & Meditation

Week 3 (June 30): The Discovery of the Self & Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Week 4 (July 14): Symptoms of Trauma & Breathwork

Week 5 (July 21): Working with Trauma & Self Compassion

Week 6 (July 28): The Various Paths to Further Healing & Mindfulness

Please remember to bring a mat and a water bottle each week. Yoga mats are available rent in studio for $3.

To sign up for the group, contact Sarah (sarahscherme@gmail.com) to schedule a 30-minute initial intake session then click sign up below to enroll. Space is limited, so please reach out soon to secure your spot.

Cost: $770

Cost includes the intake session and the 6 weekly sessions & is not able to be prorated for any missed sessions.

This program is not eligible for the YogiPass 20% off discount.



About Sarah

In her life outside of the studio, Sarah is a psychotherapist who works primarily with emerging adults and adults.

Sarah creatively integrates her role as a psychotherapist into her teaching approach. She is passionate about blending strength, athleticism, and mindfulness into a rhythmic flow that aids students in healing, processing, and connecting with their bodies. She tends to be quite active in treatment, and places immense emphasis on the profound healing that can come from a genuine therapeutic relationship.
