Description
About the Retreat
The focus of this course is on anatomy, biomechanics and physiology with additional relevant esoteric, psychological and philosophical topics woven throughout to give a holistic approach. This course will directly and immediately impact your practice and your teaching.
Part 1 involved detail on specific movements in asana, some adjustments, and the elements of sequencing; Part 2 will continue in the same manner to bridge the gap between theory and application to teaching and practice as per below. Additional topics will be covered in 2017.
Topics include:
Asana and Movement Study
Recap & continue building the specific movements of transitions & actions/ counter-actions of asana; this course will focus on foundational asanas of Asthanga Vinyasa
Recap and go deeper into specific “research” (preparatory) poses for not yet accessible or deeper asana, then using appropriate adjustment techniques based on this understanding
Dedicated workshops on safe progression of back bending, (including when to begin working on drop backs) and preparing the hips for safe lotus based asana
Detailed asana study and adjustment clinics of the key floor asana from the Primary and Intermediate series of Ashtanga; participant dependent and level appropriate; Participant requests to review particular adjustments will be covered as time permits

Practical Yoga and Buddhist Philosophy/Psychology – Discuss how the philosophical teachings can be appropriately introduced in a class setting to help students in practice and life.
Chanting – Work with the concentration technique of sound and mantra; some of the afternoon sessions will cover introductory Sanskrit.
Format
The morning session will be devoted to practice with a 45-minute Pranayama practice and a 30-minute sitting meditation and mantra practice. This will be followed by Asana practice. Most asana will be Mysore/ Self-Practice with some applied led classes. If your practice is other than Ashtanga you are still welcome. If you do not have a dedicated Asana practice then you may join a daily led class with one of our other teachers. The afternoon will focus on asana study, practical sequencing, movement workshops and restorative practice. Within this time will be the lecture focus for the day coupled with your questions and answers to the best of the teacher’s ability. In the evening will be a mixture of personal time, related videos, further sitting practice and chanting.
