Instructor: Richard Freeman
Friday, March 27
9:00am-4:30pm: All-Day Intensive
Code: AFFREE
all levels, ashtanga
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. These core techniques are so simple and yet so subtle that most practitioners overlook them. By exploring them, we'll find new freedom and ease in our practice. Discussion and asana.
Instructor: Nicki Doane, Richard Freeman, Eddie Modestini and David Swenson
Saturday, March 28
8:00am-10:00am: Session 1
Code: M1MYSO
ashtanga
A Mysore-style class is the ideal format for the committed Ashtanga practitioner. It allows students of all degrees of experience to practice together at their own level. All four instructors will be present and will offer corrections, adjustments, and individualized instruction based on the specific needs of each student. This is not a led asana class.
Instructor: Richard Freeman

10:30am-12:30pm: Session 2
Code: M2FREE
all levels, ashtanga
Learn to use drishti, bandha, and the continuous refinement of technique to awaken the core. We'll play with the paradoxes of breathing to draw though the central axis of the body; this allows us to turn our postures into mudras of feeling and expression. Mostly asana.

How does the Mula Bandha really work in relation to alignment, breath, thought, and meditation? What exactly is it? We'll explore the subtleties of yoga practice to release the deeper threads of our feelings and thought processes into the present. Mostly asana.
