This dynamic Yoga Studies Immersion will lead students on a empowering journey of self discovery through exploration of mind / body connection. Complimented with yoga philosophic principals, the course is well rounded as an introduction to incredible practices and life affirming direction of the Yoga tradition.
Meeting for 4 or 5 days per month over 5 months, each session has been designed to enable intimate knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology through the lens of the Yoga tradition.
