Upcoming Workshops

Sunday October 12, 11am: Backbending Fundamentals

In this 90-minute workshop, you will learn foundations and techniques to safely experience a wide variety of backbending poses. The class will include a dynamic warm-up, detailed instruction on the finer points of backbending, playtime to explore, and an extended savasana to leave you feeling refreshed. All levels are welcome!

Sunday November 16, 11am: Ayurveda 101

Ayurveda is the holistic system of health and longevity that originated in India, and a living tradition of using food, daily routines and herbs to achieve balanced digestion, deep sleep, and a clear and vibrant mind. In this 90-minute workshop, join Ellie Wannemacher, board-certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor and Ayurvedic Practitioner, to learn the fundamental concepts of Ayurveda and how to apply them to cultivate vitality in your life! You will come away from the workshop with practical ways to use food to address common imbalances such as bloating, constipation or heartburn, tips for optimal times to sleep, wake, exercise and eat, and the opportunity to ask questions about your own symptoms or issues. 

Fall 2025 workshops will be held at Lifetime Chanhassen. See the LT app (under “events”) for details and to register, or contact me directly if you are not a member (or are a Lifetime member at a lower tier) and I will set you up to attend.

Ayurveda Education

As an Ayurvedic Practitioner and Board-Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, I provide educational services in Ayurveda, India’s holistic system of health and longevity, to individuals and groups.

If you (or your workplace, school group or yoga teacher training) would like to:

  • improve well-being

  • get better sleep

  • eliminate digestive symptoms

  • transition through the seasons with ease

  • catch fewer illnesses

  • understand your own individual constitution and treat small imbalances as they arise, before they cause bigger problems

Contact me and we’ll talk about the options. Ayurveda is smart, time-tested, knowledge that puts your health in your hands.

Universal principles, individualized medicine.
