Intro to Maya Yoga Vinyasa Fusion
Saturday, November 1
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
This class will be an introduction to Vinyasa Fusion, suitable for all levels, and focusing on opening the front body and strengthening the back.
Using Suryanamaskar (Sun Salutations) to slowly build up heat and standing poses to reconnect you with the earth, we will move through a
Vinyasa style practice that will leave you feeling recharged and stress free! We will cover in detail all the lunge work that Maya Yoga is
famous for. Special attention will be paid to cultivating awareness in our hands and feet in order to ground us more deeply to the earth.
Class will conclude with backbends and inversions. Learn to create safety and strength by applying basic alignment principles to a Vinyasa style practice.
Hip Openers
Saturday, November 1
4:00 pm to 6:30 pm
Cultivate your seat of awareness and learn to sit comfortably for the rest of your life. Since yoga is all about creating and sustaining
balance in our lives, this class is the perfect complement to a strong vinyasa practice. This class will be more reflective in nature as
we find our way into various postures; usually on the floor, but not limited to, we will stay there to see what happens. In order to
explore the more advanced poses that yoga has to offer, you have to open your hips. Come prepare to dive deep as we provide you
with valuable information for your yoga practice to carry into the rest of your life.
Suryanamaskar C
Sunday, November 2
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
This dynamic flowing sequence of standing postures, originally created by Tim Miller of Encinitas, CA, is the root of all
"flow yoga" classes taught in North America today. The beauty of this class lies in its spontaneity -- it is always different!
Depending on students' needs and backgrounds, the postures are linked together using a vinyasa sequence and conscious breathing.
Dynamic backbends will complete the flow. This is an extremely fun class and can go very deep!
Maya Yoga Inversions
Sunday, November 2
4:00 pm to 6:30 pm
In vinyasa yoga there is a strong emphasis on standing poses and flow. But when do we get to go upside down? Inversions are crucial
for balancing your day and managing your life. They are rejuvenating, energizing and extremely therapeutic when practiced with awareness.
Teacher Training
This training targets students with at least two years of practice in any tradition. Teachers, aspiring teachers,
and those who wish to deepen their personal practice are encouraged. This training is always organic, tailored to
the needs and capacities of the group. Morning class will be a 2-3 hour vigorous practice, covering Suryanamaskar,
standing postures, hip openers, backbends, and inversions. Afternoon sessions include beginning pranayama,
basic anatomy, introduction to yoga sutras, discussion of alignment principles, sequencing, and hands-on technique.
Learn the tools to create safety and strength in your personal practice, and to help others do the same.
Through Svadyaya, the practice of self-study, deepen your experience of yoga in daily life. All registrants for the
Teacher Training must have two years of practice and/or have
graduated from a 200-hour teacher training program. 15 hours.
