Join Kevin and Sasha for a weekend immersive plunge into asana, pranayama, and meditation. We will explore traditional poses from multiple perspectives through the lens of props and support. In addition to rolling out your mat, you’ll be exposed to the yoga rope wall, yoga chair, bolsters, blankets, and blocks. These tools will help you explore + embody the actions of the poses in a new way.
You’ll be with us for 8 hours spanning two days:
4 hours on Saturday, April 11 from 11:00a-3:00p
4 hours on Sunday, April 12 8:00a-12:00p.
This will be a small group, hands-on yoga exploration, so plan to arrive curious and open for an opportunity to deepen your Svadhyaya (self study). This experience is designed to bring new awareness to the layers within the most unique + essential piece of your yoga practice: YOURSELF!
Kevin and Sasha hold the tradition of yoga in high regard and continue to grow in all dimensions . We want to share that experience with a special group of students. Arrive curious about your structural alignment and open to the possibility of creating change through your many layers of being.
Only ten spots available, sign up today!
We encourage attendees to bring blocks, blankets, a strap, and a bolster for their practice. This is a gentle nudge or loud call to continue to invest in your practice by purchasing quality props*.
*We’re happy to help you find props for your practice and we have a few items we can share if needed. If you’re looking to invest, we recommend the quality, authenticity, and non-toxic props from YogiKuti or Jade Yoga.

Kevin Leep
Kevin completed his 200hr teacher hatha/ashtanga training in 2015 on a 28 day immersion in Bali, Indonesia. He attended two 10-Day Vipassana Meditation Retreats- Feb 2017 & Nov 2018. Vipassana means, “Insight”. The technique offers discerning understanding into the fluctuations of the mind.
In November 2020, Kevin began Tibetan Sound Healing training with Danielle Dvorak. His training has continued for yearly immersions into developing & creating better sound experience.
During covid in 2020, he discovered Yoga On The Inside, the online teaching of Eddie Modestini and Kristin Bosteels. This led to consistent practice and learning poses in a deeper, more purposeful way. Developing the endurance to place the mind in the tissues and open the body while attempting to maintain mental equilibrium. This led to his 300 HR training led by Iyengar teacher, Gabriel Halpern that focused on the therapeutics of yoga, using props to work with injuries, pre/post surgery, or understanding a posture from a different perspective. He graduated in August 2023. These trainings and teachers have helped develop Kevin’s voice and perspective into a safe and insightful asana practice, and aims to honor the tradition of yoga with its benefits and transformative potential in modern day.

Sasha Saur
Sasha started personal training in 2009, with the goal to help accomodate and inspire strength & growth in creative ways. She noticed stress and adrenal fatigue was rampant and began introducing and guiding her clients through meditation & mindfulness practice 9 years ago. Her yoga practice & training shortly followed, and her mentality & journey was completely transformed.
As a Yoga teacher, Sasha focuses on using yoga as a vessel for students to tap into their whole person. Because of her own transformational experiences, she believes the yoga mat is where we can tap into our intuition, acknowledge fears, and are liberated and healed as we move and breathe. Sasha is an avid learner and has continued her education, from classic Vinyasa training, accessibility training, extensive mobility & injury training, mindfulness certification, Qigong training, and is currently finishing her 300HR Hatha training.
She developed “Imperfect Practice” because she believes that there is always room for awareness and each day the body, mind, and spirit arrive differently.
Every class will begin with pranayama, and include opportunities to explore the various facets of meditation, mindfulness, mudras, and asana.
