Sink Deeper: Weekend Immersion

Three days. Thirty hours. One transformative experience.

Through movement anatomy, subtle body practices, and creative asana labs, discover new layers of expression and connection. Engage in creation labs that unravel the art of language and the power of collective energy, inspiring fresh pathways in your practice and teaching.

This immersive experience is open to the public and can be taken for 30HR CET or as part of the 300HR YTT Module with Authentic Movements.

  • This 30 HR Training is for anyone wanting to further their exploration and implementation of logical creativity into their personal practice and/or teaching.


    This training is open to everyone although we do recommend at least 1-2 years of regular, solid practice. If you don’t particular care about earning a certificate and simply want to enjoy a weekend of creativity and play, then there is no need to attend all sessions.

  • Erin Kelly is a yoga and movement educator who’s known for her energy and fluidity of movement in both practice and teaching, and is often found upside down or cultivating creativity through uncommon transitions.

    In 2016, Erin and Stevi Gongora started Authentic Movements, a movement science and yoga school that currently hosts a wide variety of continued education courses, as well as yoga teacher training.

  • The program is conducted over 6 months. Our next session starts January 6, 2024.

Completed Workshops

  • Be. Bloom. Become.

    Guest teachers CJ and Shelby joined us for three sessions focused on the arc of becoming: anchoring awareness, building strength with softness, and opening into movement that supports what’s true for each body.

    Inspired by the principles of Awakening Yoga, we explored vinyasa-based practices that blend traditional asana, functional movement, and thoughtful sequencing.

  • Guest Series: Shelby Heintzelman

    Shelby was the Guest Instructor to come to FORUM in 2025 as part of our Guest Series.

    She brought a weekend of classes that helped people gain awareness in their bodies and encouraged attention to the breath to move them into a mind-body connection.

  • Teaching Inversions

    Our yoga workshop on teaching inversions and arm balances was designed to help yoga teachers deepen their understanding of these challenging poses and provide effective instruction to their students.

    Throughout the workshop, students learned the anatomy and principles of inversions and arm balances, as well as the common mistakes and how to avoid them.

  • Re-Patterning

    Focused on redefining the basics of yoga and identifying habits and imbalances. We combined modern movements with classical yoga to find the continuum of anatomical truth in your body.

    Re-patterning utilizes techniques to unlock tension, support the body's natural alignment, and train new habits. Over time, this allows for increased ease and flow in asana practice.

  • Guest Series: Erin Kelly

    Guest teacher Erin Kelly brought her traditional style, stemming each movement from the core all the while cultivating a slow and lasting graceful strength.

    She looks at the spaces between postures, focusing more on the journey and less on the destination. You choose your adventure, with chances to find flight in inversions/arm balances and submerge one in a shape longer.

  • Inhale, Exhale, Repeat

    Breathing is a fundamental aspect of yoga. Understanding the mechanics of the diaphragm is essential for teaching efective breathing technicques. This workshop was a comprehensive look at all things breath.

    By bringing awareness to the breath we can reduce stress, cultivate presence, increase oxygen flow through the body, gain self-regulation skills, and access restorative states to promote healing.

  • Advanced Anatomy

    A dynamic course focused on the science behind stretching taught by our instructor Liz, a PhD student at The University of Kentucky in the Rehabilitation and Health Sciences Program and a certified athletic trainer.

    Designed for yoga instructors, this course deepens understanding of the body's mechanics and enhances your ability to guide students safely and effectively.

  • PRIVATE PRACTICE

    We join forces with David Aulick, the owner and founder of Athlete House PT. Together, we will delve into the intricacies of a mobility assessment, a powerful tool designed to pinpoint areas of the body that may be tight or restricted. You will learn how to craft a personalized yoga practice tailored to address these specific areas.

  • "This was a truly amazing training experience that has deepened my yoga practice. Casey and Christina shared so much knowledge around alignment and engagement of the body. I am definitely energized after completing the 200 hr YTT and would recommend their training to anyone wanting to take their practice to the next level."

    Heather M

  • "This training was an extremely powerful and moving experience. I gained more strength than I could have ever imagined, fixed many alignment issues in my practice, and learned what it is like to fully acquire proprioception in my body. Casey and Christina are knowledgeable, wise, experienced, and compassionate. They want you to succeed, and they will stop at nothing to move you forward in the world of yoga. I am beyond grateful for my experience with Saj Yoga."
