Ashtanga Yoga Retreat in Mexico
Nov 15th to 28th and Nov 29th to Dec 12th, 2010
Join us in the lush jungle on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, for a rejuvenating Ashtanga Yoga Retreat.
Ashtanga Yoga is an effective method of yoga practice, which is designed to restore the body to a radiant state of health. The Ashtanga practice includes yoga postures as well as vinyasa(specific movements initiated by the breath, which connect one posture to the next). The practice develops internal heat, which purifies the body and nadies(the energy channels, which underlie the physical form). Stress reduction, excess weight loss, and a general sense of well-being are natural side effects of yoga practice.
The retreat will include daily Ashtanga Yoga practice. The principles of Mulah Bandha(the root lock), Drishti(the gaze) and Ujjayi Pranayama(the sound induced breath) will be applied throughout the postures and vinyasa. Morning meditation and an afternoon restorative asana practice will also be offered throughout the retreat.
The retreat from Nov 15th to 28th is open to all levels of yoga practitioners.
The retreat from Nov 29th to Dec 15th is open to those who are already familiar with the Ashtanga Yoga practice.
