Why take a Workshop?
Workshops explore a particular theme that pertains to your needs.
Typically a workshop consists of a powerpoint presentation of images and ideas relating to the topic.
Then guidelines are given for you to make personal assessments of your own challenges.
You are then given a variety of yogic skills and techniques that will help you deepen your yoga practice as well help you in your daily life.
Each workshop helps you to investigate and come to understand your own body and mind more clearly.
Many of the insights gained through a workshop are practices that can be engaged in everyday life, including skills to engage in a more positive engagement of all circumstances of your life.
