Mobility Immersions w/ Emily Opal
Join Mobility Instructor Emily Opal for two weekend immersions this June: Mobility Foundations and Mobility for Teachers.
Mobility is a practice that can unlock freedom in our bodies in versatile and accessible ways; it can be done anywhere with minimal to no equipment, and does not need a huge time commitment to experience results.
It is truly for anyone who is interested in increasing their capacity to make space to do all the things they love! The mobility approach helps to stabilize joints, increase coordination, increase physical freedom, and help bolster against injury; often leaving you feeling like you just had a massage.
The first weekend immersion will focus on building our foundation, resulting in a deeper understanding of how we can apply this practice for ourselves at home. This weekend is for anyone who desires to learn more about Mobility as self-practice; no anatomy, teaching, or mobility experience required.
Our second weekend is focussed towards taking the information we've already learned and applying it to sharing with others. With completion of this weekend, you will be able to teach mobility practices (should you desire to teach!). Often the most powerful way to deeply embody a topic is to learn how to teach it.

The Giving Ocean
The Giving Ocean A fundraiser in celebration Of World Oceans Day - June 13, The Lab Victoria
The ocean nurtures us, nourishes us, inspires us, and protects us. This evening is our chance to give something back.
The Giving Ocean brings together art, food, conversation, and community in support of ocean conservation — and is itself a love letter to the sea.
At the heart of the evening is a pop-up art exhibition titled The Giving Ocean, inspired by Shel Silverstein's beloved The Giving Tree, featuring local artists working across multiple media, each reflecting the many ways the ocean shapes life, livelihood, emotion, and community.
The evening includes:
Pop-up art exhibition featuring multiple local artists across different media
Live poem reading by Victoria poet laureate Marie Metaphor, giving the ocean a voice
Silent auction
Panel of speakers including Katie (Last Name), athlete and ocean advocate with Surfrider, and Aki Kaltenbach, the founder behind vegan seafood brand Save Da Sea — more to be announced
Oyster bar with buck-a-shuck by Shuck Taylor's and a grazing table presented by Finest at Sea, with plant-based seafood spreads by Save Da Sea
Non-alcoholic cash bar presented by Fizz
Door prize
And more, with support from a range of local sponsors and partners
Your ticket directly supports ocean conservation. Proceeds to be distributed among Surfrider Foundation, Georgia Strait Alliance, and SeaLegacy — and attendees vote on the fourth recipient on the night.
Come and go as you please throughout the evening. A full schedule will be posted so you can plan around the speakers, the readings, or simply the oysters. Any amount of time — and any level of support — is warmly welcomed.
We look forward to seeing you at The Lab Victoria on June 13.
Kate Gillespie Weekend
Over two days, Kate Gillespie will guide you through two workshops to deepen your practice and move together.
02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Master The Stack
Your core is so much more than sit-ups and a six-pack. It’s an intelligent system of stability - created by multiple muscles working together to manage pressure, posture, and movement. The Stack is a powerful approach to alignment and stabilization that brings the ribcage and pelvis into optimal relationship, stacking the respiratory and pelvic diaphragms. This creates the foundation for a strong, efficient, and responsive core. This work goes far beyond your mat practice. It shapes how you move, breathe, and stabilize - every step, every day. All levels welcome.
02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Unlock Rotation
If Master The Stack is about finding balance front-to-back, Unlock Rotation is about learning how to twist, turn, and move side-to-side with strength and ease. Our bodies are designed to move in all directions, but modern life has us sitting, driving, and moving mostly straight ahead. We get locked up in suboptimal patterns, and lose healthy rotation in the hips and trunk. This workshop is designed to restore your body’s natural ability to rotate and move laterally. You’ll learn how to unlock power in your hips, move more efficiently through space, and rebuild strength and mobility for everyday life, sports, and your mat practice. All levels welcome.
Katonah Yoga Immersion w Ben
Join us for an immersive weekend of practice that blends intelligent movement with imagination, and structure with fluidity. Katonah Yoga® is a geometric, metaphor-rich system drawing from multiple lineages including Iyengar Yoga and Taoist philosophy. It offers a clear way to see the body, organize the mind, and inhabit postures with greater awareness.
Expect strong and creative physical movement, skillful use of props, hands-on adjustments, posture labs, restorative practices, journaling and meditation. We’ll also study the Katonah
Magic Square, rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy & numerology, as a framework for mapping the body and mind.
Each day builds on the last. We’ll establish a foundation, then refine and embody the material so it can become part of you moving forward.
Open to teachers and practitioners, no prior experience with Katonah Yoga® required. 15 hours bankable toward a Katonah Yoga® certification and 15 Yoga Alliance CEUs.

Sound Journey with Pilar Munoz
The Sound Journey, through the use of crystal alchemy bowls and gongs, other sound healing instruments, is an inner journey guided by numerous sounds of different and powerful frequencies, all resonating in different parts of the body.Our mind may soften into the deep tones and sounds of these instruments and thus create the conditions where healing can take place. A receptivity to our inner world and subtle energy has begun. These tones can also guide us into connection to our higher consciousness, dream states and creative flow.A stress release at its deepest level, leaving you with a prolonged sense of well-being, in body, mind, and heart.
