26&2 WORKSHOPS

 

THE ORIGINAL HOT YOGA

BEYOND THE BASICS

Ghosh Yoga, 26 & 2, The Original Hot Yoga, Bikram Yoga,
whatever you call it, this 90 minute classic is MAGIC!

Comprised of 26 postures + 2 breathing exercises, it’s a foundational practice that every spine can benefit from. Over the last few years, the Ghosh lineage has been watered down, ineffective, lazy, over-heated, lacks attention to detail, sometimes just sloppy. This community can grow while maintaining its authenticity + functionality.

This practice is dear to my heart!

I created this workshop to maintain the integrity of this lineage by providing an anatomical foundation that can be applied to every single shape. My style focuses heavily on details from the ground up. To inform the feet, is to inform the entire structure. I keep it real. I want YOU to get in your body through different techniques.

It may not always seem conventional, but it’s absolutely fun!

ONE DAY WORKSHOPS

The day goes something like this:

  • 2-4 hour workshop in gentle heat (85-90)

  • We do a brief intro, always starting with breathing & half moon because foundation is everything. From there we tailor to your needs; standing head to knee, standing bow, triangle, camel, rabbit - more or less depending on time

  • short break

  • followed by a classical 90 min class where we implement the work

Single Day Options:

  • 2 hr workshop + 90 min class

  • 3 hr workshop + 90 min class

  • 4 hr workshop + 90 min class

Workshops are completely customizable.

Your squad needs more than one day?! No problem. A teachers-only seminar entails more in depth anatomy and would take place over 2-5 days depending on your studios needs. Studio owners please contact me for further discussion.

I honor the traditions of this lineage.

It healed physical ailments I suffered with for too long. I teach my way, leaving the "dialogue" at the door. My style is authentic. I teach from personal experience + understanding body mechanics. The prescribed dialogue is limiting. It does not serve seasoned practitioners or experienced teachers.

Part of being a student AND a teacher, is being teachable
and knowing within that, there is growth.

I am here to help!

Words From The Community

“I've been doing yoga in LA since 2017 & during that time I've yet to have a 26&2 instructor as perfect & as amazing as Kari. She took command of the class in a gentle but firm manner. Kari's steady & calm direction, her adjustments, instruction & passion for yoga is evidenced by the precise attention she gave each one of us in the class. I've gone to hundreds of 26&2 classes. Kari’s class is the best.”

~ Chris P.

“There are teachers and then there are TEACHERS. Teachers that put their heart and soul into what they convey to their students, teachers who go to a level of extraordinary detail to be sure the message is being clearly heard and internalized. I recently had the joy of participating in a two hour yoga workshop followed by a 90 minute practice, curated and delivered by Kari. Spending 4 hours in a hot room doing simple yet difficult positions was an incredible out of mind, embodied experience. Kari J is that one in a million gem of a teacher.”

~ Bobbie CL, life long athlete

“Kari J, not only a teacher, but dedicated practitioner, understands this yoga can be both mystifying and challenging, and has created a space in her 26x2 workshop where she takes the time to break down the most elusive postures, into a language that is relatable to every shape and experience level.”  

~ Sarah K, 8+ years teacher

“The details begin before a single posture is started, building a solid foundation of breath and balance that sets you up to move with proper engagement and alignment. Acknowledging that not all yogis are built the same, Kari provides several options that allow students to maximize the benefits of each shape while maintaining the integrity and purpose of the pose. The adjustments, often minute, are accessible and IMMEDIATELY effective. There’s a lot of “whoa's” echoed throughout the room after a breakthrough occurs from a simple adjustment. The 90 minute yoga class following the workshop, provides immediate application. The tools gained from these workshops have transformed my energy level and experience of practicing these poses.”

~ Shannon P, 15+ years student of yoga
