Join Me For a Unique Opportunity to Learn About Yoga As It Has Been Experienced for Thousands of Years...
Starting Winter / Spring 2009 in Santa Barbara, CA, I will be hosting an Intensive Yoga Studies Course for a select group of participants. This Course will be divided into 4 modules of 6 hours each and will meet over the period of several weeks. We will be meeting on Saturdays starting at 9 am and ending by 4:30 pm. The exact Course venue will be announced at a later date.
This is a great opportunity to be introduced to the holistic aspects of Yoga from an experienced teacher without having to take the time or expense travel to India.
This Intensive Yoga Studies Course will focus on introducing various aspects of Yoga as they have been understood by the Great Yoga Master T. Krishnamacharya. Often referred to as the “Grandfather of Modern Yoga,” during his 101 years of life, his dedicated teaching inspired thousands of practitioners from around the world, and through his students (including Indra Devi, B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and his son, T.K.V. Desikachar), this “Master of Masters” has played a vital role in shaping how Yoga is practiced and understood today.
Proposed Course Schedule:
The following Course schedule has been designed to give participants a balanced introduction to both the theoretical and practical aspects of Yoga:
9:00 am to 9:50 am Morning Yoga Practice
10:00 am to 10:50 am Asana Theory Lecture
11:00 am to 11:50 am Yoga Philosophy Lecture
