GRAVITY AND GRACE: Yoga for finding your inner teacher.
Part I Saturday, December 8 1-4pm
Part II Sunday, December 9th 1-4pm, 2007
If you are approaching the practice of hatha yoga for the first time or you are a seasoned “veteran”, each day begins the same – listening to a quiet inner voice deep inside which poses the question, “what can I do today to bring a little more freedom and intelligence into my life?” During this weekend of yoga, we will explore how gravity influences our practice and discover the principles of non-muscular effort, which strengthen our intuition and provides us with a personal experience of the feeling minds (heart and navel centers). This experience is essential for a yoga practice, which prepares you for the magical experience of Grace, and the development of your own personal "inner teacher". Classes during the workshop will be progressive (step-by-step) in nature and appropriate for all levels.

Peter Sterios is an internationally recognized yoga teacher whose teaching reflects over 30 years of study in the US and India. His yoga practice began as therapy for numerous sports injuries, and is a unique style of hatha yoga, inspired by chi-gung and south Indian dance. He is a writer for Yoga Journal and the CEO of Manduka, a leading yoga products company. (www.manduka.com)

This series of extraordinarily deep abdominal exercises strengthens you from inside out and is designed to penetrate weak muscle fibers, awaken sluggish organs, stretch scar tissue and cultivate vibrancy throughout your nervous system.
