Schedule
Friday 6:00 - 8:00pm Walking the Path to Yoga according to Sri Patañjali
We invite you to join us for a motivating discussion on walking the path to yoga. Tim will explore the profound teachings of Patañjali and Gautama the Buddha, inviting participants to engage in a meaningful discussion about the wisdom and practices that guide us on our journey toward deeper experiences of awareness and compassion. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, reflect, and deepen your understanding of yoga's transformative path.
Saturday and Sunday 8:00 - 10:00am Mysore
Saturday 1:00 - 3:00pm Backbend Workshop “Sthita Sukham & Backbending”
Develop your ‘sthirasukha’, your firmness and comfort, for aptitude and health in your yoga. The practice starts with directing your mind towards the essential. We will look at what it takes to bend backwards with no fear. The key to deep backbends are available to you through the integration of sound anatomical principles, healthy alignment & technique, and accurate knowledge of your inner body. The movement mechanics of bending your spine are the key to an enhanced flow of energy and in this class you will begin to explore you natural potential for deep backbends with simplicity, safety, support and enthusiasm. The workshop aims at developing tools to a personal and balanced practice. All Levels Welcome.
Sunday 1:00 - 3:30pm Transitions Workshop "Jumping, Walking, Rolling, and Floating - Transitions in Practice"
In the Ashtanga Vinyasa style practice, we spend almost as much time transitioning between postures as we do staying in each individually. This workshop will explore the many types of transitions we experience in practice; starting with floating in Surya Namaskara, followed by the illusive (and challenging) seated “jump through and jump back”, and finally the more complex entrances into arm balances and inversions. You will learn how and where to use strength and stability while creating lightness and ease in body and mind. Come with a sense of adventure! All levels welcome.
