| Ashtanga Yoga Weekend with Richard Freeman | ||
| Saturday Oct 13 |
9:00AM – 12:00NOON Secrets of the Ashtanga Vinyasa System Rhythm, exquisite detail, and meditative alignment make the ashtanga system really work right from the very beginning.

2:00 – 5:00PM
Small, subtle adjustments in form and attitude can make problematic and difficult poses produce their fruits. We will look a little deeper into Back Bends, Shoulders Stands, Headstands and their entourage of related poses. Common difficulties, injuries and misalignments will be examined and their solutions explored. |
$75 | Sunday Oct 14 |
9:00AM - 12:00NOON Core Mudras and the Essential Tricks Learn to use Drishti, Bandha and the continuous refinement of technique to awaken the core of the body. We will play with the paradoxes of breathing and the complementarity of technique to draw through the central axis of the body a kind of satisfying metaphorical milk. Experiencing a paradox in motion at the heart of the Vinyasa system allows us to turn our postures into mudras of feeling and expression. |

Sunday 2:00 - 5:00PM How does the Mulabandha really work in relation to alignment, breath, thought and meditation? What is it? Is it a mudra that releases endless radiance? We will explore the subtleties of yoga practice to release the deeper threads of our feelings and thought processes into the present. |

His
background includes Zen and Vipassana Buddhist practice, Bhakti
and traditional Hatha Yoga in India, Sufism in Iran and starting
in 1974, an in-depth study of Iyengar yoga. He is still an avid
student of both Western and Eastern philosophy, as well as Sanskrit.
His ability to juxtapose various viewpoints, without losing the
depth and integrity of each, has helped Richard develop a unique,
metaphorical teaching style. He lives with his family in Boulder,
Colorado where he is the director of the Yoga Workshop.
