Palm Springs, Calif. – Hot Yoga Plus Palm Springs offers two unique workshops to strengthen healthy lifestyles and explore the inner potential. November will include an e84 Immersion Week and a Pole Fitness Discovery class kick-off.

Pole Fitness Discovery is a 6-week workshop that includes multiple forms of fitness to help open the mind and body to new heights and use movement for personal expression, strength, and healing. Pole fitness combines aerobic and strength Training with the self-awareness to burn calories quickly, improve flexibility, develop kinesthetic awareness and reduce stress.

"Once students embrace pole fitness, the physical strength often transcends into an amazing inner strength and self-confidence that supports people in all areas of their lives," said Annmarie Lynn, Hot Yoga Plus Palm Springs owner.

Lynn is bringing back the popular 6-week Pole Fitness Discovery Workshop for only ten people. The workshop will meet on Sundays from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Classes will initiate a connection and trust among the small group. Beyond pole fitness, sessions will include body expression, inferno hot Pilates, dance, trapeze yoga, yin yoga, sound bath, and more. Lynn and several studio teachers will lead weekly classes. Upon registering, participants will also have free access to regular classes throughout the week and for two months after the workshop. The final course will include a special pole dance recital and graduation event.

Lynn is a former gymnast who found life-changing pain relief after practicing Bikram Yoga for less than three months. Since then, she has dedicated her life to helping others find the same healing through the practice of yoga, Pilates, and now pole fitness, which fosters not only physical strength but also mental strength and self-discovery.

The e84 Immersion Week is an opportunity for hot yoga enthusiasts to learn the sequence of 84 asanas. Classes are intended for intermediate yogis, who will meet twice daily from November 13-19. The e84 class is a moderately paced, accessible class that teaches the skills found in the 84 class. It moves more slowly than the 84 Asanas class and has no prerequisites to attend; however, it is recommended for people who are proficient in the hot 26&2 class (Bikram yoga) and want to expand their practice. On the workshop's final day, participants will practice the 84 Asanas class at the heart of the e84 Teacher Training Diploma program.

Meagher completed the 200-hour e84 Training in 2017 and will graduate from the 500-hour e84 program in February 2023. She has practiced yoga for 11 years and taught for eight. She is a three-time state USA Yoga champion and the 2019 Western Regional champion. She placed sixth in the 2021 Virtual International Yoga Sports Federation competition. Meagher received teacher training in the primary ashtanga sequence from Mahesh Chandra at the Abhijna School of Yoga in Kerala, India. She is a passionate student and lecturer of Sanskrit, ayurvedic medicine, and yoga philosophy.
