Ashtanga Yoga & Meditation Retreat with Katharine Kaufman

Experience Ashtanga Yoga, a dynamic, flowing and precise system of postures designed to reveal natural balance and freedom.

In this weekend retreat, we will explore the heart of Ashtanga Yoga, which includes alignment, breath and meditation, practicing the classical and dynamic flowing sequence of postures based on the inner form. We will also experiment with partner work and restorative practice, honing awareness and coming to a greater understanding of our own being. Students at all levels of practice welcome.
