Sunday June 23rd
10-12am – Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga 

Traditional Mysore-style self practice.  Students practice at their own pace while teacher makes individual hands-on adjustments.

2-4pm – Headstand:  Change Your Perspective

Learn to build solid foundation in your upper body and effortlessly turn your world upside down. Headstand, known in Sanskrit as Sirsasana, is considered one of the most powerful postures in the yoga tradition. Holding headstand for long periods of time balances the nervous system and in this class you will experience a full five minute balance on your head in the traditional position–when you come down your perspective on more than just headstand will be changed. You will explore how to safely enter and exit headstand from fun and challenging positions. Once the foundation is established you will experiment with the seven headstands of the Intermediate Series of Ashtanga Yoga and entering arm balances from headstand, all the while remembering to smile.

Costs:  Workshop Package (4 workshops) $180; Individual Workshops $50.  Book early if you would like to attend.  The workshops are limited to 24 participants.  Book now!
