Workshops & Special Events

Jessica Apo is a certified yoga and prenatal yoga instructor. She taught prenatal yoga while pregnant with her first daughter, Samantha. Teaching prenatal yoga while being pregnant allowed her to feel and understand what her students were going through, creating an organic experience for her. She had a drug-free natural delivery this past November. She credits her stamina and strength during labor to her knowledge of yoga asana and pranayama. She loves teaching prenatal yoga and believes that yoga techniques help parents connect with each other and their unborn child. Mostly, yoga can help in pain management, breathing during labor and overall health while pregnant and after birth!

Deep, Delicious Rest with Michelle Fry

Gift yourself deep luxurious rest! 
The daily stressors and dog days of summer tax your nervous system and create deeply layered tension in the connective tissue that wraps your muscles, organs, and even bones. This proverbial "shrink wrap" restricts your flexibility and sense of spaciousness in your body as well as your physiologic function.We will attend to this "shrink wrap" utilizing supported restorative poses, hands-on energy work and visualization. Your body, mind and spirit will be coaxed into luxurious relaxation. Feel supported, nurtured, and deeply rested — a summer vacation from daily life!

 Michele Fry (RYT500) holds a Master of Traditional Oriental Medicine and applies the therapeutics of yoga along with acupuncture to help students ease pain and re-establish a healthy relationship between nervous and muscular systems. Michele works with students of all levels, including athletes and students new to movement/yoga. Before joining Thrive, Michele was a Yoga Instructor at The Chopra Center and La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California.
