Dear Feathered Pipe Community,
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.
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.
Kickoff Main Hall Workshop
Yoga for Lower Back and Hip Pain
Saturday, January 24, 2026
1:00 pm ET | 12:00 pm CT | 11:00 am MT | 10:00 am PT
We’re thrilled to launch the series with Elise Browning Miller, Senior Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher and internationally respected pioneer in therapeutic yoga for scoliosis and back care. For over 30 years, Elise has specialized in working with scoliosis and chronic back issues.
— A longtime student of B.K.S. Iyengar, Elise has traveled the world teaching practitioners and training teachers in precise, compassionate, and empowering approaches to healing movement. In this special online class, she will guide you through practices focused on relief for lower back and hip pain — practical tools you can immediately bring into daily life.
Coming to the Ranch This Summer
If this taste leaves you wanting more (and it probably will!), Elise will be joining Susan-Elena Esquivel at the Ranch for an Iyengar Yoga for Scoliosis and Back Care: Immersive Retreat & Teacher Training, 8-15 August. This in-depth retreat expands beyond Elise’s renowned 20-hour Yoga for Scoliosis workshop, offering additional practice hours, personal attention from both teachers, and the priceless bonus of learning in the beauty, quiet, and spaciousness of Feathered Pipe Ranch.
Whether you’re joining us online from your living room or dreaming ahead to summer under Montana skies, we hope you’ll come practice with us.
Let’s keep the Main Hall alive—in spirit, in movement, in community—all year long.
With warmth and gratitude,
Feathered Pipe Team
P.S. Consider this the opening bell. This kickoff with Elise is the first in our series of FREE online workshops with Feathered Pipe’s remarkable bench of teachers. There’s more inspiration, more movement, and more connection coming your way soon.
