David Garrigues ASHTANGA WEEKEND WORKSHOP

Update from David on Monday, March 23

Hi everyone!

I am thankful that our event can still take place even with the challenging circumstances.  Fortunately I have extensive experience offering all kinds of live stream classes.  Many of you know my teachings by watching my Asana Kitchen videos.  I will still provide excellent content that will inspire you and help you develop your practice.

For the led classes I’ll give precise, clear verbal instructions on the specific topics that you’ll find in the class descriptions.  Also there will be a model to demonstrate and help you see what to do.

For the Mysore classes I use verbal cues to give adjustments more than physical assists.  My verbal style of teaching is conducive to a live stream format.  I am an expert in articulating instructions that will give you a different or new experience of a pose.  I have a large projector screen so I will be able to see you well.  I will also invite you to send me a short summary of your practice or let just let me know what you want to work on.

I look forward to working with you, OM!  David

ALL LEVELS WELCOME —

He offers clinic style led classes that investigate specific aspects of the practice that help students come to new perspectives on how to practice more intelligently, safely and joyfully.

In his workshops David offers a combination both traditional counted vinyasa led classes and clinic style led classes that investigate specific aspects of the practice in varying levels of detail. These important classes feature more verbal instruction; they give students a chance to slow things down, see new ways to orient during practice, get explanations of elusive, often unspoken aspects of the practice, and understand the Ashtanga method in greater, more subtle detail. Mysore, chanting and kirtan classes are also frequently included in a workshop. During the weekend David weaves together studies of asana, pranayama, bandhas, vinyasa, chanting, bhakti yoga, yoga sutra’s and other elements to help develop Ashtanga Vidya (knowledge).

Sit With It: A Monthly Meditation + Discussion Series

Yoga & Culture Retreat Jamaica with Deirdra Demens

Experience Jamaica! The very first of Deidra’s Yoga & Culture Retreats brings us to Treasure Beach, a beautiful village on the South Coast of Jamaica. In Treasure Beach you’ll find black sand bays, May temperatures in the high 70’s low 80’s, and that friendly South Coast spirit and community that greets you with “welcome home.”

Each day will start with an energizing Iyengar Yoga class, followed by planned hike and bike tours along through the Santa Cruz hills, where we can meet local farmers, and take in the sites of the Caribbean Sea at Lover’s Leap. Between the daily Yoga classes, hike and bike tours we will also enjoy delicious meals at the hotel restaurants, that offer fresh produce and ingredients from local farmers and fishermen.
