intelligence. An in-depth technical exploration of the
moving body will teach you how to integrate the
kinesthetic messages you receive from your body into
your yoga practice. You will begin to understand how
Ashtanga's mind-body-breath connection establishes the
framework for a link between your body's reality and
your mind's intentional, observational and analytical
nature. This synthesis is the key to an effortless
yoga practice

web of neurological pathways that form the dynamic
basis of movement in the body.During the course of the
workshop, you will be given a set of tools that will
empower you to increase your powers of concentration,
break through old emotional blockages and enhance your
well-being. You will learn how an anatomicaly correct
use of your body frees your energies, heals old
injuries, and maximizes your natural movement
potential. This uniquely holisitic and comprehensive
workshop challenges you to dive into the depths of the
Ashtanga yoga practice and yourself.
