The Art of Support: Explore How to Use Props
June 13, 2026 2 - 4PM
Learn how to set up props in a way that supports your body’s unique anatomy, shifting from “needing help” to feeling empowered, safe, and aligned. Blocks, straps, blankets, and bolsters become tools to enhance accessibility, deepen sensation, and build strength in your practice.
This workshop invites you to explore creative, effective ways to use props with a sense of playful curiosity, so you can leave feeling confident, inspired, and equipped to let props truly support and elevate your yoga experience. All levels are welcome!

​
Brendan Smullen found yoga while coping with anxiety at an early age. Generally practicing Hatha, he kept a consistent practice and began to develop a curiosity for new postures and transitions. Brendan started learning the craft of Ashtanga yoga while in Washington DC under the guidance of Maryl Baldridge and later David Robson and Jelena Vesic. Brendan practices Ashtanga as a means of stress management, lifestyle change, introspection and devotion. Brendan is a 500hr RYT and Certified Education Provider through Yoga Alliance and is a learner for life and has trained with several notable Ashtangis, but is principally a student of Manju and Sathu Jois.
Christiane Coste Cacho is an activist, yoga practitioner and nomadic teacher from Mexico City. Her background in dance, alongside her social justice work, drew her to yoga as a vehicle for healing, embodiment and awareness. While exploring various lineages of yoga, she found her passion in Ashtanga and Rocket® Yoga, balancing tradition with creativity. Christiane is a lead teacher trainer under Yoga Alliance, and a certified Rocket® Yoga Training Facilitator, offering training, continued education and workshops throughout the US and Latin America. While she loves sharing content, she strongly believes in the importance of continuing her journey as a student. She is grateful for her teachers and mentors -including David Kyle, David Swenson, Tim Feldman, among others- from whom she continues to learn.
