Sunday, August 13th 1:00PM-5:00PM Cost $50 preregistered $70 at door. No yoga experience required.

We will explore the art of maintaining a personal practice by addressing issues of motivation and self- discipline. We?ll go into different established flows and formats to uncover the logic behind these systems. Included in this portion of the workshop will be an examination of the Salutations and how they can be customized to the individual to create a soulful dance of body and breath. Following this will be an exploration of intuition through the use of blindfolds and ear plugs, moving from one posture to another under the guidance of your own natural perfection. Although students will be given a resource packet to aid them further in their practice, they are encouraged to bring pen and paper to make note of postures and sequences which resonate with their bodies. You will leave feeling confident and enthusiastic about your personal journey through yoga and be better able to utilize group classes and future workshops to broaden your approach and vision of your yoga experience. This event is open to all levels and all styles. Sunday, August 27th with Jeff Levin 2:00 ? 5:00pm: $25 pre-paid, $35 at the door
