Float away with a unique and relaxing sound healing experience… in an aerial hammock!

In this 90 minute workshop, you will have the freedom to float and sway to the womb-like environment of the supportive, aerial yoga hammock. You’ll learn a few restorative aerial yoga poses, so that you can explore the most relaxing shapes for you during the workshop. Poses can be grounded or flying. After taking shape with the support of the aerial hammock, you’ll enjoy deep vibrational, highly tuned sounds from perfect-pitch crystal quartz singing bowls and chimes. These powerful vibrations can balance dissonant frequencies in the body, bringing them to harmony and creating feelings of relaxation and connection. Each bowl and tone represents a different energy system or chakra, for deeply healing effects. Bring your intentions and be prepared to float away into bliss. You’ll leave feeling refreshed and relaxed in a very unique way.

Join Dr. Sarah Caffey, a physical therapist and yoga teacher as she teams up with Flying Buddha to bring you, “Exploring Yoga Cues and the Anatomy Behind Them.” Many times cues are taught within a class without much explanation of why we are engaging or moving that way within a pose. This workshop will delve into the anatomy behind these go-to cues, what they actually mean, what compensations they are trying to prevent, and finish up with a movement flow integrating these new innerstandings. You can expect to learn about your body in new ways and feel empowered in how to apply this information to your yoga practice. In this workshop Sarah begins with the foot, debunking the cue “press through all four corners of your feet.”

Sarah is a practicing Physical Therapist at Acro PT, a clinic that specializes in treating patients of aerial arts, as well as, a Co-Owner of Back In Action, Ergonomics and Wellness offering online desk set-up assessments to clients. Sarah graduated from the University of Maryland, School of Medicine with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2014. Sarah is a native to Maryland and grew up playing lots of sports including soccer, lacrosse, basketball, and rugby. Sarah spends her days now paddleboarding, camping, hiking, dancing, and playing music as much as she can.

When Sarah began her career as a Physical Therapist, her time with playing sports shifted more towards a practice in yoga. It quickly became clear to Sarah the connections between the postural tips of neutral spine she was teaching her patients and the alignment cues in yoga. This led Sarah to become a Certified Yoga Teacher through Charm City/Yoga Works in 2016.

Sarah found the combination of her personal yoga practice and knowledge of body movement an integral part of her own self-care. Sarah finds great joy in combining these two passions of hands on manual physical therapy and yoga to help clients move and connect with their bodies in novel and more holistic ways. Empowering those around her with the knowledge to heal themselves.
