Instructor: Sharon Gannon and David Life
Friday, January 16
9:00am-4:30pm: All-Day Intensive
Code: AISGDL
All Levels
Your cultural upbringing may tell you that you need to control others in order to be happy, healthy, or sexy, but your yoga practice recommends being kind to others. Which path will you choose? This workshop is for people who are interested in transformation into a radical cultural hero rather than mere change. The word radical derives from rad, meaning root. A radical person is someone who digs to the root of a situation. We'll explore radical yogic methods, focusing on asana practice that will enable you to become spiritually activated on the mat to become politically active off of it. Bring a blanket. Discussion and asana.

Join us for an insightful, optimistic, and nonjudgmental exploration into Patanjali's five yamas.

Everyone-meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans- is welcome. Bring something to sit on. Lecture.
