Yoga: The Art of Recycling | Download Flier (Low Resolution) | Download Flier (High Resolution)

Yoga is an ancient tradition with great relevance to our modern day living. With each breath, we bring energy from the outer world in, revitalise every cell and in cyclical fashion, exhale that which we don’t need back into the universe. With each pose, we honor the ability of the body to regenerate energy and vitality, bring calm, create strength and stability. It is an alchemical magic that enhances the natural efficiency and harmony of our being and reminds us of our part in the bigger ecological picture. We literally move from being tight, tired and tense to fluid, open and spacious…just with a little yoga!

We live in a world where most of us will leave 102-ton legacy of waste! Where do we begin to restore a wiser, simpler way of living? In the body, in the breath, in the quiet amid the chaos and the excess. Join us for a practice, inspired by and supportive of natural rhythms and processes, which will include active and passive poses, breathwork and meditation. Suitable for a wide range of student. Options will be given for those not inverting or doing backbends.

Fee: 50.00 if registered and paid in full by February 10, 2013, 60.00 thereafter. To register, make check payable to MPaffard and mail to Kirsten Walker, PO Box 364, Philo CA 95466.
