2-hour workshop with Nicole DeNoble

Deadlifting isn't just for powerlifters. It’s for anyone looking to feel stronger and more capable. The deadlift is one of the foundational strength movements that teaches you how to safely and powerfully pick something up off the ground. Whether that “something” is a sleeping child, a loaded laundry basket, or a barbell, the deadlift develops strength you’ll feel in real life. This lift engages your whole body, with a focus on strengthening the posterior muscles—glutes, hamstrings, and back—all critical for posture, movement, and injury prevention.

Training your deadlift progressively over time supports increased muscle mass, bone density, and confidence in your body’s ability to meet physical challenges. In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll break down the deadlift step by step, and you’ll get hands-on coaching and feedback, and spend dedicated time practicing and refining your form. We’ll cover how to set up your barbell, what to feel in your body during each part of the lift, and how to train it safely and progressively.

Whether you’re curious about barbells or already lifting and want to improve your technique, this workshop is a chance to ask questions, get personalized support and build confidence in a supportive space. Join Nicole to explore what makes the deadlift such a foundational movement—both in training and in everyday life.

About Nicole DeNoble: Nicole is an empowering and down-to-earth instructor known for her light-hearted and practical approach. She combines years of experience coaching movement with a strong foundation in anatomy, yoga, and strength training. As the creator of the Strength Essentials program at The Branches, Nicole has helped dozens of beginners feel at ease with barbells—breaking down complex movements into clear, accessible steps for all learning styles and bodies. Whether you're new to lifting or ready to dial in your form, you’ll feel supported and inspired by her teaching.

It can be challenging to find uninterrupted moments to spend together with your teen/preteen during this busy period in both your lives, and so we invite you to come together for this hour to share in some playful and nurturing mindful movement. Designed as a practice mostly in parallel–with a couple moments of interaction–we will start with a slow flow that will engage and regulate your nervous system, finishing with a restorative moment and meditation (or as previous teens have called it, “yoga nap time”). No experience necessary for this beginner-friendly class, and any teen/pre-teen and caregiver combo that makes up your unique family is welcome.

Take a moment to pause with us as we celebrate the moment of transition between one year and the next. This special restorative event will combine restorative yoga with journaling, allowing the body and the mind to process and move through this annual period of transition. The restorative yoga practice will explore resting in comfortable shapes supported by props, like blankets and bolsters. While your body rests, you’ll be invited to take time to reflect on the year that has gone by and dream of what may happen in the year to come. Then you’ll have opportunities throughout the practice to journal about what comes up during these periods of reflection. You’ll receive a small pocket notebook to record your thoughts, but you are welcome to bring along your favorite journal and journaling tools to write, draw, or sketch your ideas in a way that is meaningful for you. Beginners welcome.

Description:

Learn to harness the healing power of Restorative Yoga and apply it to your practice and to support your clients.

As a very gentle form of Yoga, Restorative Yoga integrates supported resting postures, breathing techniques, and meditative relaxation. Together these practices allow the body to gently release areas of stiffness, gradually unwind tension, and find deep relaxation. You'll learn tried-and-true methods to calm the nervous system and learn trauma-aware ways to share these techniques for both mental and physical relaxation.

Our 45-hour training is perfect for yoga teachers, movement professionals, psychotherapists, RMTs, acupuncturists, coaches, caregivers and anyone who wants to integrate Restorative Yoga into their work and their life.

Includes: 30 hours of in-person training plus 15 hours of asynchronous learning & assignments (video lectures, self-practice, and practicum).

** We typically offer this program every 2 years, so your next chance won’t be until 2029.

Dates: Jan 16-17, 2027

• Sat, Jan 16:  1:00pm - 8:30pm (with 2 breaks, including a light dinner provided)
• Sun, Jan 17:  1:00pm - 5:30pm (with 1 break)

*Interested in the Immersion Weekend but January doesn’t work for you? Jan 16-17 is our primary weekend date and spots are very limited. If January’s Immersion Weekend fills up, and there is enough interest, we will open up another Immersion on Jan 30-31. If you’re interested in the second weekend, please email emma@thebranchesyoga.com to be added to the waiting list for the Jan 30-31 session.

For those wanting to share Restorative Yoga with others, there are two additional weekends of Restorative Yoga Teacher Training coming up in March as part of our 45-hour RYTT Certification Program. Check out the RYTT webpage to learn more.
