WORKSHOP SERIES
Built to Last
Add 10 Years to your practice
A three-part workshop series at PYC Oakville. Build better range, control, and strength so you can keep doing what you love for longer.
Yoga is the container. Durability is the goal.
June 6, 13, 20. 4:30 to 6:00pm. PYC Oakville.
What Built to Last is
Build range. Control range. Strengthen range. Use it everywhere.
Built to Last is a three-part workshop series that uses yoga as the container, but the skills apply everywhere.
You will learn how to create better range, control that range, and build the strength to use it. That matters in yoga, but it also matters when you lift, run, hike, swing a golf club, play tennis, climb stairs, carry weight, or get up and down from the floor.
This is not about chasing deeper poses. It is about understanding what each movement is asking of your body, where the movement should come from, what should stay stable, what should move, and how to build a body that holds up under real demand.
Over three Saturdays, we work through the movements people repeat most: standing, reaching, folding, pushing, lunging, balancing, twisting, hip work, forward folds, and recovery.
Yoga is the container. Durability is the goal.
Build better range
Open the areas that limit how you move: feet, ankles, hips, hamstrings, shoulders, upper back, and spine.
Control that range
Learn how to move slowly, reverse direction, stabilize, and stop dumping effort into your joints.
Use it everywhere
Apply the same principles to yoga, lifting, golf, tennis, running, hiking, stairs, travel, and daily life.
What you will learn
You will learn how to:
Build usable range where you need it most
Control and strengthen that range
Protect your wrists, shoulders, low back, hips, knees, feet, and ankles
Hinge, reach overhead, rotate, lunge, and balance without compensating
Tell muscle tightness from nerve tension
Build a simple home plan you can keep using
June 6
Build your foundation
Standing, reaching overhead, folding, bracing, push-up mechanics, and Sun Salutations.
You will learn how to organize your body from the ground up: feet, pelvis, ribs, spine, shoulders, and core. You will learn how to hinge without loading your low back, reach overhead without compensating through your spine, and move through Low Plank with more strength and control.
You will use this for: yoga, push-ups, lifting, reaching overhead, picking things up, posture, carrying bags, and daily movement.
June 13
Build standing strength and balance
Standing strength, lunges, knee tracking, hips, twisting, and balance.
You will learn how to stabilize your feet, hips, and knees in standing positions, lunge without your knee collapsing, rotate from the upper back instead of forcing your low back, and balance with more confidence.
You will use this for: yoga, squats, lunges, stairs, hiking, running, golf, tennis, court sports, and any movement where one leg or rotation matters.
June 20
Build mobility you can keep
Hips, nerve tension, posterior chain strength, and recovery.
You will learn how to stop forcing range and start earning it. You will learn the difference between muscle tightness and nerve tension, how to build mobility your body can control, how to strengthen the back of the body that protects your low back, and how to rest in a way that lets the body adapt.
You will use this for: yoga, deadlifts, sitting, walking, running, lifting, recovery, and staying capable as you age.
Why take all three?
Each workshop stands on its own. The full series is the real work.
You can attend one, two, or all three. The full series is ideal.
