Being Connected Through Yoga Therapeutics

Imagine three days devoted entirely to reconnecting with yourself—your breath, your body's wisdom, and your place within community and nature. Being Connected Through Yoga Therapeutics is a residential workshop designed for anyone seeking deeper healing and integration through the lens of therapeutic yoga practice. Held at the renowned Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to study with the TinyTeahouseYoga teacher community, a collective of seasoned facilitators grounded in both classical yoga tradition and contemporary healing science.

Led by founder Bill Koff and co-teachers Owen Ash, Sharyn Hahn, and Laura Elian—all trained in Kripalu yoga and certified yoga therapy—this three-day immersion weaves together asana, vinyasa flow, restorative stretching, yoga nidra, meditation, and breathwork alongside intimate sharing circles. Rather than a performance-based practice, yoga therapeutics applies time-honored techniques alongside modern exercise physiology and psychology to support those navigating chronic conditions, stress, or simply the desire to reclaim their wholeness. Whether you arrive seeking relief from pain, deeper self-awareness, or community connection, you'll find a sanctuary where genuine well-being is cultivated through three essential relationships: to yourself, to others, and to the natural world.

This workshop honors the understanding that transformation rarely happens in isolation. The teaching draws on the subtle energetic framework of prana vayu—the energy winds that animate our being—creating a bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary healing modalities. Omega's nurturing setting in the Hudson Valley provides the perfect container for this work.

What to Expect

You'll experience a carefully sequenced journey through multiple yoga and wellness modalities. Each day weaves together gentle asana practice, breathwork (pranayama), guided meditation, and restorative techniques including yoga nidra—the yogic sleep practice that dissolves tension held in body and mind. The teaching faculty brings 20+ years of combined experience in yoga therapy and Kripalu lineage work, meeting you exactly where you are.

Between formal sessions, you'll participate in sharing circles—a cornerstone of this work—where you'll connect authentically with fellow seekers. The atmosphere is grounded, non-dogmatic, and deeply supportive. You'll leave with practical tools for home practice, a felt sense of nervous system regulation, restored connection to your breath and body, and friendships forged in genuine vulnerability.
