10 AM - 12 PM Mysore

1:30 - 4 PM BBDO

 Let’s explore the use of breath, bandhas, dristhi and opposition of force in our practice.  In order to successfully progress in our practice, we must have full control of all four concepts.  But how?  Spend the afternoon with Krista exploring these concepts in depth, and learning how to apply them in each and every asana in the primary series.  Serious work, and some serious fun!  Suitable for all levels.  Will begin and end with Chanting.

Sunday, March 25

10-12 AM Mysore

2-4:30 PM:  Deconstruction before Reconstruction

Intended for students with a daily practice.  We go through phases in our practice…In the beginning it feels good, and we feel good for doing the practice.  But as you get deeper into your practice the honeymoon phase ends as you start to uncover deep seated physical and emotional blockages.  These blockages must be dealt with in order for us to let go of that baggage we hold deep within our bodies and minds.  This can be extremely uncomfortable both physically and mentally and this is often the point where people either choose to face themselves and dig deep, keep practicing but on a very surface level, or walk away from yoga altogether.  In this workshop we will learn how to deal with the discomfort we face in our yoga asana practice.  Muscles and bones and nerves, emotional scares and fears and hurts….They all come to the surface with daily asana practice.  Join Krista in a discussion about deconstruction before reconstruction. We will begin and end with chanting.

ENTIRE WORKSHOP by February 23, 2012: $170; $200 thereafter. For more information and registration contact Krista@TheYogaShala.org
