Make 2010 the best ski season ever with greater flexibility and strength, and fewer aches and pains. Yoga has many benefits for skiers. Yoga improves core stability and strength, builds flexibility and balance, strengthens bone, enhances muscle flexibility and tone, and boosts lung capacity. Learn Yoga techniques you can use at home to improve your skiing, and how to get the most out of your Yoga practices when you do attend class.  

While Erin will provide the basics of a structured teacher training program, Peter will take us deeper into the mysteries of Yoga technique, philosophy and conceptualization.

Peter brings a depth of knowledge and breadth of experience that you will not find anywhere else. If you are looking for a truly unique teacher training program, this is it.

This is going to be an amazing, provocative, life-changing experience. To express interest in the program, or if you have questions, send an email to Erin by clicking here. More details coming soon!
