Annual Astanga Yoga Weekend with Christine Hoar |  | |
Saturday, November 24, 12:00 to 5:00 PM,
and Sunday, Nov. 25, 11 to 1:00
Saturday and Sunday: $75.00
Saturday's session only: $65.00
Sunday's Second Series practice only: $25.00
Pre register and pre pay, by Nov. 18. After Nov. 18, or at the door, add $10.00 to each session's price.
For the first half of the day on Saturday, Christine will lead a modified Astanga Primary Series practice, play with some inversions, and introduce some second series. Focus will be on alignment and energy flow in postures and the refinement of breath as it informs the vinyasa for a flowing practice. We will also discuss modifications for individual needs, tension patterns, and rehabilitation in a compassionate and gentle manner. Enjoy her light-hearted and fun style with plenty of adjustments and modifications.
After a short break, (bring water and snacks) the second half of the day will begin with time for Q&A on the practices, the philosophy, and the importance of developing and maintaining a personal practice, and then Christine will focus on basic principles of Ayurveda, the ancient science of self-healing, and how they can support your health and well-being.
Sunday's class will be a "full on" second series class, focusing on the back bending and deeper twists of "nadi shodhana" or the "nerve cleansing practice." Pre requisites: You are a strong practitioner of any tradition and you took the Saturday day long workshop with Christine, or, you know the primary series of astanga yoga already and are ready to explore the second series. Or, ask!
