The weekend sessions will encompass the practice of asana and pranayama and explore aspects of yoga philosophy. Asana practice will be slow and deep, enabling practitioners to discover and internalize the relationship between the outer form and the inner organic body. This will lay the foundation for pranayama. Format for the philosophy sessions will be a talk followed by a session for questions and answers.

The retreat is for experienced students (i.e., a minimum of two years practice). They should have a solid grounding in standing poses, practice shoulderstand, and have had instruction in headstand.
