Spend this weekend exploring asana, meditation, and pranayama with two of the nation’s most respected yoga teachers - Colleen Saidman Yee and Rodney Yee.
Our internal conflicts, doubts, and fears eat up so much of our energy. How can we practice yoga to resolve confusion or resistance and promote equanimity and compassion every single day? Over the course of the weekend, learn and practice sequences for creating tranquility in your mind, body, and heart. With more spaciousness, we have the energy to effect healing change in our world. This is the service of spirit which, as the Dalai Lama says, is the root of eternal happiness.
Through delightful insights both philosophical and practical, direct instruction, postural alignment, pranayama, and awareness meditation, Rodney and Colleen's fun and personal approach to yoga will help you hone your ability to:
Understand how different asana groupings can restore equilibrium and resilience in any situation
Cultivate flow between postures, in steady serenity, and surf inner and outer changes effortlessly
Listen to both breath and bodily sensations and align with authentic receptivity and generosity
Release old stories, increase internal spaciousness, and move skillfully with ease and compassion day to day
Rooted in the ancient power and wisdom of posture, breath, and meditation, this weekend, offers a lovely opportunity to learn practices to free your body of old and unnecessary patterns, and break through to true personal growth and freedom.
