Yin Yoga Workshop
with Laurie Krause
Saturday - May 17, 2008
1:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
|
If you are interested in deepening your yoga postures, increasing your range of motion or increasing your flow of energy, then come join us at the "Yin Yoga" workshop.
What it does: Yin Yoga helps you focus on the deeper tissues of the body. Yin gently opens the body to increase flexibility and create more space. This is a great compliment to your current yoga practice, and/or other athletic endeavors.How it’s performed: You will ease into various yoga postures that you can relax and hold comfortably for 3 to 7 minutes. We will use appropriate props to insure your comfort, allowing you to stay in the postures and be able to gently loosen and open various areas of the body, (mainly hips and lower back).
Cost: - $35 in advance - $40 at the door.

Yoga Praveena Arun H.S.
Born in Sringeri, South India in 1954, Sri Arun started teaching Yoga in 1976 at the Rashtrothana Shareerika Siksha Kendra. In 1978 he taught class while his teacher – Mr. B.K.S. Iyengar looked on. The idea of teaching and applying Iyengar Yoga to meet and suit each individual's unique needs appealed to Arun immensely. He knew then that Yoga had become his true vocation in his life. For more on Arun see: www.yogashraya.org
"As I started teaching Yoga, I saw different kinds of human bodies and thousands of complex minds; despite the apparent similarities between people I saw that each individual has very distinct needs". - Yoga Praveena Arun H.S.
Downtown Yoga is honored to present this week to the public. Sri Arun will make this practice accessible to all levels of students. Beginners will get expert fundamental instruction. Intermediate students will learn how to deepen their poses. Advanced students will learn how to fine-tune their asanas. All levels of students welcome. Beginners are encouraged to attend.
