I’m so happy to join the team at Down Under Yoga and teach a two our class / workshop (while I visit family ;) Please sign up here Crazy practice that will morph into a workshop where we can also get all your questions answered about inversions, backbends, anatomy, alignment, etc see you on your mat!

Every other Sunday at 8:30am (est) I teach a “30 mins Intense / 30 mins Release” class which allows us to do some restorative postures without feeling as though we “didn’t do a whole practice”. Starting May 14, I’m teaching a new class right before it of drills for those students who are looking to strengthen, grow or start their inversion practice. You’ll need a little wall space for these classes and, two yoga blocks if you have them :) all on www.yogaclubboston.com

Intermediate vinyasa class focused on anatomy & alignment then sliding into an inversion and backbend workshop for the last 45 minutes. Must be fully vaccinated. Space is limited. $50 send via venmo @Renee-LeBlanc-5

Before Instagram…there was yoga. And there were poses that took skill, intense focus and, a good sense of humor like handstand, forearm balance and, headstand. We’re going to learn these poses. Most bodies need to LEARN how to go upside-down, it doesn’t just happen. In this workshop, we’ll learn as many methods as we can to find your path to inversion. Once you get there, then we can work on the posture and all the variations and different ways in and out of them. Inversions make you feel good inside and are very empowering but you need good guidance to learn how to add them to your daily practice safely. This workshop will have a short warm up, some additional core work and is also great for teachers looking to safely add inversions to their classes.

Many people have taken a 200-hour teacher training but man, we all know that is no where near enough. This practice runs very deep and we keep learning as we teach. If it weren't for my teachers, I'd be completely lost and honestly, I still have many days when I feel like I have no business standing in the front of a yoga room. Please join me for a 4-hour session that will start with a quick talk, followed by a class that will morph into an intense "posture lab" where we'll break down several concepts, discuss simple anatomy and practice weaving what we're learning into the classes we teach over the next few weeks. Good cueing will be emphasized. We'll discuss how these concepts will help you to sequence your classes. We'll end with some "business of yoga / state of yoga" talking and make sure all your questions are answered.

The day after Thanksgiving, join me for a sweaty and strong two-hour class. Come get grounded, find your inner power and soar to new heights! Expect to learn some new transitions and more about the poses you do every practice :)

Join me to LEARN at the beautiful studio Asana Charlestown! We're going to break down everything from crow to handstand so that even when we can't get into a pose yet, we physically & mentally understand the path to get there. This class is great for both teachers and students - bring every question you can think of and be ready to have fun. Arm balances & inversions are empowering, scary, fun and difficult (I was going to say "challenging" but, let's call it what it is, they're hard! We can deal with that). Physically and mentally they build strength, balance and unbelievable focus like nothing else. So...come fly with me ;)

This is a mentoring program designed for those who have completed a 200 hour teacher training and are looking to advance their teaching skills and continue to increase their understanding of this beautiful practice. For all info, please check out Yogaworks.com :)

Join me at On The Mat in Concord, MA!

Arm balances and inversions are often offered in a regular class but there is rarely time to break them down and really take advantage of everything they can do for you mentally and physically. Balancing on your hands can be frightening and very challenging but also incredibly fun and strength-building. We'll start with about 30 minutes of advanced vinyasa to warm up followed by a workshop focusing on arm balancing,  handstands and forearm balancing. We'll break down the poses so that even if we can't do some of them yet, we understand a clear path to get there. Even more importantly, we'll work on many different ways to transition in and out of these poses to increase our strength and awareness so that being on our hands becomes a more natural and integrated element of our entire practice. Please bring every question you have and get ready to sweat, get upside-down, and LAUGH! See you on your mats!

There are so many backbends in this practice. In fact we can even put a backbend into a forward fold as long as it’s in the right place. They can be energizing, strength & flexibility building and, make you feel like your body is a miracle or…they can tear up your shoulders, frustrate you and, make your lower back feel like drugs are really the way to go. In this workshop, we’ll make sure we understand some very basic anatomy of the back, we’ll open up everything we need to so that you can find your edge with no pain and, we’ll learn to do all the strengthening we need so that your back can remain healthy while you continue to move your edge, go deeper and explore all the backbends in this practice! Nothing makes you feel stronger and healthier than a healthy back and a healthy back…can bend J We’ll cover dancer’s pose, bow pose, hanumanasana (splits facing forward), king pigeon, camel, wheel and many of it’s variations (including standing up and dropping back safely) and many others. As always, bring all of your questions!!
