Join us at NELSON SCHOOL OF YOGA for an experiential workshop exploring the foundations of functional breathing through the Buteyko Method and Oxygen Advantage. This workshop is an opportunity to slow down, become more aware of your breath, and discover how the way you breathe can influence your energy, movement, recovery, and nervous system.

Christian brings a unique perspective to this work, with nearly 30 years of experience as a treefaller and climber, combined with his own personal journey as a 30-year asthma survivor. His experience with asthma led him to explore the Buteyko breathing method and Oxygen Advantage, and ultimately become a certified instructor in both systems. Drawing from both personal experience and professional training, he’ll introduce practical techniques that you can incorporate into your everyday life.

We’ll explore the foundations of natural, efficient breathing, including the importance of nasal and diaphragmatic breathing. Through guided exercises and awareness practices, you’ll learn how to recognize and shift inefficient breathing patterns and begin to re-establish greater balance within the body. More functional breathing can support the body’s ability to produce energy efficiently, maintain postural stability, move with greater ease, and recover more effectively during rest.

You’ll be guided through simple, accessible breathing practices designed to help settle the nervous system, stimulate the vagus nerve, and engage the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system—the body’s natural “rest and digest” state.

Whether you’re interested in improving your breathing, supporting your physical performance and recovery, managing stress, or simply developing a deeper awareness, this workshop offers practical tools and an opportunity to experience the transformative potential of breathing well.

Wisdom of the Katha Upanishad ~

“Know the Atman as Lord of a chariot; and the body as the chariot itself. Know that reason is the charioteer; and that the mind indeed are the reins.”

This excerpt asks us to consider a profound question: Who or what is living our life?

The body is the vehicle.

The mind is an instrument.

Intellect discerns truth and guides the mind with wisdom.

When the reins are steady and the charioteer is clear, the journey steers toward Self-realization.

Ashtanga - Mysore, Wednesdays 6-7:30am.

Arrive and depart quietly at any time during class. This traditional Mysore-style offering provides a supportive space to cultivate a personal relationship with your practice through individualized instruction and guidance.

Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time or have been practicing for years, you will be met where you are. Students move through the Ashtanga sequence at their own pace while receiving personalized teaching, modifications, hands-on assists, and thoughtful refinements that support growth, stability, and ease.

More than simply learning postures, Mysore practice invites self-study, consistency, and the opportunity to connect more deeply with yourself. This class welcomes all levels and honors the understanding that yoga is a lifelong practice—one that unfolds gradually, one breath and one step at a time.

Mid-Day Reset, begins June 11th.

Step away from the desk and into the present moment. Designed specifically to fit into your lunch hour, this efficient 40-minute practice offers a mindful pause to break up the workday, move your body, and recalibrate your mind.

The practice is intentionally structured to undo the physical strain of sitting—focusing on releasing tension in the neck, shoulders, and hips while restoring spinal alignment. We conclude with a brief, restful savasana, leaving you feeling spacious, focused, and re-energized for the rest of your afternoon.

All levels and abilities welcome. Modifications are always provided.

Class runs sharp from 12:10 pm to 12:50 pm to respect your afternoon schedule.

Learn To Float with .arseneau

Saturday June 6th
12:00-2:00pm
$50

Refine your practice and explore the art of lightness within strength in this focused workshop. An invitation to break down and embody the transition from downward dog to forward fold—moving with control, precision, and lift.

Together, we’ll demystify the “float forward” by working with the foundational elements that make it possible: breath, bandhas, core integration, and intelligent weight transfer. Rather than forcing the movement, you’ll learn how to create the conditions where the body becomes naturally buoyant—allowing your feet to land softly between your hands.

You will be guided through progressive drills, technique, and variations so you can build both the strength and awareness needed to access this transition safely and sustainably.

✨Technique Breakdown – understand the mechanics of the float from downward dog to forward fold

✨Core & Bandha Activation – build the internal support that creates lift and control

✨Hip Mobility & Compression Work – develop the range and lightness needed to move forward with ease

✨Breath Integration (Ujjayi & Timing) – coordinate movement and breath for fluid transitions

✨Progressive Drills & Modifications – meet yourself where you are and evolve step by step

Come ready (on an empty stomach) to explore, experiment, and surprise yourself with how light you can become.

✨Registration is open at
www.nelsonschoolofyoga.com
