SmartFLOW Workshop in Stockholm

Join Annie Carpenter for a transformative weekend exploring the essential principles of alignment, stability, and presence in your yoga practice. This intensive workshop is designed for both teachers and dedicated students seeking to deepen their understanding of the body's intelligent design.
Transitions and the Art of Presencing
Vienna, Austria | In Person Only
In this workshop we look closely at how you move between shapes. The small choices in weight, breath and attention that either scatter you or steady you. We work on refining transitions so they’re efficient, aligned and conscious, not rushed or mechanical. This includes breaking down movement patterns, sensing where support is missing, and learning how to stay present rather than checking out until the next pose.
Weekend SmartFLOW® Workshop in Paris
Paris, France | In Person Only
A three-day immersion exploring deep hip work, spinal twists, strong inversions, and the foundations of Tadasana and core stability. Each session weaves intelligent sequencing, philosophy, pranayama, and embodied practice, offering students and teachers alike a chance to uncover balance, build resilience, and experience the wholeness of yoga.
Sun Salutations: Bright and Healthy
Oakland, CA | In Person, via Livestream and Recorded for 30 days access
As Yogis we love to connect to Rituals, especially those that connect us to our body and our breath, to nature, and to the great traditions of Yoga. The Sun Salutation is all of that, and much more.
Join Annie for an afternoon of deep respect and rethinking of this beloved ritual. We’ll look at why we do each pose and transition, and find smart and better ways to approach them. We’ll lovingly question this tradition fully and re-imagine our way for today.
Evolving the Inner Witness: Yoga Practices to Open the Window to the Self
Big Sur, CA | In Person Only
The practice of yoga takes each of us on an interiorizing journey. Step by step we move from the outer and reactive body-mind towards the inner witnessing light of the Self. Here, we observe without judging or running away from sensations, thoughts or memories. The result is active, patient Presencing, which informs all we do and all we are.
Join Annie Carpenter at the renowned Esalen Institute for an immersive weekend yoga workshop. Located on the dramatic cliffs of Big Sur, Esalen provides the perfect setting for deep personal transformation and exploration of your yoga practice.

This SmartFLOW Weekend Workshop at yogaview Chicago is a two-and-a-half-day immersion in grounded strength, intelligent opening, and deep release. Sessions build from the ground up—balancing feet, hips, and sacrum; stabilizing and expanding through shoulders and ribs; exploring inversions as a gateway to single-pointed focus. Throughout the weekend, expect anatomic exploration, functional transitions, and the subtle work of psoas release, giving students and teachers alike a chance to refine their practice, reconnect with their body's intelligent design, and experience the wholeness of yoga in a focused workshop setting.
