Each 90 minute class will be focused on personal exploration, creating space and finding a balance between the physical body and the mind, through the breath. Each class will incorporate relaxation, breath work and a more dynamic physical vinyasa practice (flowing sequence of postures) and should be suitable for all levels of experience. Some classes will include optional partner work, which is a great way to discover how we can help each other to explore yoga as a group and to share these experiences with other people.
Yoga can help with so many symptoms of our lives today including: managing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, preventing arthritis, relieving back pain, aiding better posture and a general calmer more balanced outlook on life.
"What you will learn in these classes will hopefully be something you will be able to take away with you and used to enlighten your individual quality of life that we so often find hard to do in this busy, fast-paced and hectic world."
So come join us in finding some much needed valuable time enjoying the rewards of learning. Explore the connection between the body and mind, and personally experience the amazing benefits of yoga for yourself.

HOT NUDE YOGA
Co teaching with Aaron Starr
Each day will consist of two yoga practices, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. During your free time, you can rent a car to explore some of the magnificent local beauty, lounge by the pool, take a steam, or take walks around the beautiful countryside.
Besides getting much needed relaxation, the focus for the weekend will be to explore the different aspects of Hot Nude Yoga, which includes Tantra - the comprehensive, far-reaching practice that embraces all areas of life.
We will explore in depth many areas of yogic philosophy including: sensuality and touch, the science and applications of mantra (sound), Kundalini/Shakti (the creative and sexual energy we all hold), and of course, Contact Yoga. (A style of yoga where you and another person work together.)
You will also be introduced to the principles of Alignment, Massage, and get to practice with different partners. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to touch and promote harmony in yourself and others.
Each yoga session will offer a different taste of what Yoga can offer you, and will help you to re-enter your life with more peace and tranquility.
