Program Details

For all levels; previous experience with vinyasa flow practice is suggested.

Immerse yourself in a weekend of yoga and the awakening light of early June in New England. This workshop begins with a short discussion of the classical eight-limbed path of Ashtanga Yoga, followed by stretching, sweating, and lots of unwinding with breath and meditation.

This weekend, you learn how to

  • Maintain a strong asana practice that is both safe and enjoyable for the rest of your life
  • Detox your body and mind
  • Release the kinks and snags that accumulate as you grow older.

Saturday’s practices include walking meditation, energetic vinyasa with therapeutic adaptations for your body and age, and a silent, mindful hike in the sweet spring air of the Berkshires. Sunday morning, the program winds up with asana and a simple 12-minute meditation technique you can take home with you.

You leave relaxed, recharged, and with a strong personal practice that works for your age and lifestyle.

Note To accommodate those with chemical sensitivities, please wash your yoga clothes in unscented detergent and refrain from wearing scented oils or perfume in the program room.
