We’re delighted to invite you into something new—and very Feathered Pipe.
This winter and spring, we’re opening the doors of our Online Feathered Pipe Main Hall Workshop Series: a collection of live, interactive mini-workshops featuring beloved teachers from our upcoming 2026 Ranch retreat season.
Feathered Pipe Main Hall Online Workshops — Think of it as Feathered Pipe goodness traveling through your screen. It’s a way to practice with favorite teachers, discover new voices, and keep the spirit of the Ranch humming during the quieter months when many of us crave a little extra inspiration and embodied goodness.
And the best part? These workshops are FREE. Our gift to you. Our way of staying connected.
Plus, here’s a little extra Feathered Pipe magic: At each Main Hall session, we’ll randomly draw the name of one live participant to receive a $200 discount toward any 2026 Feathered Pipe retreat program. The discount applies to new registrations or will be deducted from the remaining balance for those already registered for a Feathered Pipe retreat program.
Stay tuned via our newsletter and/or social media for the upcoming live, online workshop registration links.

Susan-Elena Esquivel – Yoga for Neck and Shoulder Care
We invite you to join the upcoming Feathered Pipe Main Hall Series featuring Susan-Elena Esquivel as she focuses on yoga to help ease neck and shoulder pain.
— Susan-Elena started dancing at age 5 beginning a lifelong fascination with form and alignment as well as the body/mind connection. Her classes are infused with the knowledge of spinal health gained in her apprenticeship with Elise Browning Miller from whom she learned the nuances of scoliosis and other spinal disorders.
Marla Apt – Harnessing the Power of Attention
As yoga is defined as union, the practice gives us the opportunity to unite the disparate components of our self: body part, senses of perception, attention, and breath. In this practice, you will have the opportunity to explore the dimensions of asana that bring freedom in the body and clarity in the mind.
— Marla began studying with BKS Iyengar and the Iyengar family in India almost 30 years ago. Her interest in yoga therapy led her to participate in research studies on yoga for mental health and to form Iyengar Yoga Therapeutics, a non-profit organization working to further knowledge of and accessibility to yoga’s healing applications.
Anne Jablonski – Sensation as Teacher
In this spacious, exploratory session, we’ll move in simple, adaptable ways that emphasize sensing rather than performing. Instead of trying to “achieve” poses, we’ll slow down enough to feel what’s actually happening — and allow that awareness to shape the way we move. You don’t need to get anything “right.” You just need to be willing to pay attention.
— For over two decades, Anne Jablonski has danced with the rhythms of the Feathered Pipe Ranch, where she serves as President of the Feathered Pipe Foundation. To Anne, this sacred ground is more than a retreat center—it’s a refuge where the natural world invites us to remember what matters, to breathe deeper, and to awaken from the hum of modern life.

Augusta & David Kantra – A taste of what it means to come home to yourself
Join Augusta and David Kantra for an experiential session blending gentle Qi Gong with a practical, insightful talk on the “thieves of happiness” — the patterns that quietly pull us away from presence — and the simple, powerful antidotes that bring us back.
— Blending psychology, mindfulness, and embodied movement, Augusta and David’s work is known for being deeply practical, compassionate, and accessible. They create spaces where insight meets lived experience — helping people reconnect with what matters most and move toward a more meaningful, wholehearted life.
Lanita Varshell – A Softer Side of Yoga
In this session, Lanita Varshell will share techniques and the philosophy from her signature MIMSY – Meditation in Movement Soft Yoga practice — one tailored for those like her who are older, larger, slower, health-challenged, or simply in need of a gentler, safer way to move. Expect guided breathing, deconstructed classical poses, and a warmth that makes yoga feel truly accessible to everyone.
— Lanita is a revered senior therapeutic yoga teacher and is an influential voice in leading plus-size, body positive, accessible, and adaptive practices.
Annie Carpenter – Nimble Core
Join Annie for an hour of playful interiorizing. In SmartFlow Yoga we seek balance in everything we do: effortless efforting. Core work has become a way of hardening and judging self (never enough!). Rather Annie thinks of core strengthening as an inner awareness that creates an ability to move in any direction with ease and balance.
— Annie has been practicing yoga for over 45 years. It continues to be a source of steadiness, depth and joy in her life. Annie has taught movement, dance, anatomy, and lead movement rituals for many years; she’s been teaching yoga for over 35 years.
