Becoming a Leader: Yoga for Interpersonal and Global Change
Instructor: Seane Corn
Friday, March 27
9:00am-4:30pm: All-Day Intensive
Code: AFCORN
all levels


If you feel the call to be more of a leader—whether in your personal, parenting/family, or work life; in organizations; or in the world—this intensive can provide the tools and insight necessary to help you build confidence, affirm commitments, and confront perceived limitations. We’ll explore using the process of yoga for self-investigation as we navigate through the many practical and spiritual tools available for shedding light on our questions and healing the wounds within that can keep us from reaching our full power and potential. Through a nourishing, reflective, and challenging vinyasa flow yoga class designed to inspire, we’ll ground and clear the mind and body. Then, through discussion, journaling, and other exercises, we will explore our vision, voice, and passion, while learning how to cultivate and amplify them on a group level. This intensive is meant to help you identify your obstructions, define your purpose, and begin the process of seeing yourself as a leader within your own world—a role necessary in our ever-evolving culture of change. Asana and discussion. All levels. Knowledge of Sun Salutations A and B are helpful but not necessary.

Prana, Apana, and Alignment in Vinyasa
Instructor: Richard Freeman
Friday, March 27
9:00am-4:30pm: All-Day Intensive
Code: AFFREE

Prana governs the inhalations, and apana governs exhalations. Linking prana and apana together is the heart of the Ashtanga vinyasa system, creating the core postures, bandhas, drishtis, and breathing rhythms.
