Yoga Journal LIVE! Florida 2016

Over the course of the day, we'll start by slowly opening you up. Then we will heat you up with asana, and finally cool you down with restoratives, pranayama, and meditation, leaving you wrung out, happy, and relaxed as if you had been on a weeklong retreat. Through our practice, we'll enhance the natural rhythms of our bodies while learning how to listen to our bodies and release tension and restlessness so that we can be present for our lives with vigor and relaxation.

Warmer climates—such as Florida’s—are conducive to pitta, offering a steady stream of sunshine and warmth. However, the constant heat can also deliver itchy skin, inflammation, and mental irritation. Ayurveda to the rescue! This workshop is an engaging mix of asana, pranayama, meditation, and lecture designed to calm the mind, ease digestion, and sooth an overheated nervous system. As a special treat, you finish off with a cooling coconut oil foot massage to wring out excess pitta. You’ll walk out this class with tips on how to and stay light, grounded, and refreshed in the Sunshine State.

Note: Includes asana, pranayama, and meditation. Please wear clothes that expose lower legs and feet for oil self-massage.
