This event has been the “do not miss” experience of the weekend every year now – be sure to attend!

Create Yogic Momentum & Balance through Pranayama

Mara Healy leads the daily pranayama practice and will teach several breathing methods for balancing/lifting the energies of the body and mind, utilizing some commonly known pranayama techniques, but also exploring san-mantrika – weaving together very simple mantras and pranayamas as part of a seated practice. No experience neccessary.

Do you have questions related to your yoga practice that have gone unanswered?

Would you like an opportunity to ask these questions to a panel of experts and hear what they have to say?

Join us for an intimate discussion with five prominent yoga teachers whose knowledge and experience are at your service for 75 minutes.

Each person in attendance will be given the opportunity to write down one question they would like discussed by the panel. Questions will be drawn at random and our panel of experts will share their thoughts and insights on the issues that are important to you.

Dialogue between teacher and student has always been an important part of yoga, but the opportunity to reach out in a personal way with someone whose knowledge you trust and respect can be rare.

This event promises to be a very rewarding experience. Bring with you the questions that matter most, and plan to leave with some great new ideas.
