About Genny

Genny Kapuler has studied yoga since 1976 and has been teaching since 1980. She has studied three times in India with the Iyengar family. Her primary teacher here is Mary Dunn.

Before the birth of her child and before she began teaching yoga, Genny performed as a modern dancer; for many years she had her own company. She is also trained as an Alexander-technique teacher and is a practitioner of Body-Mind Centering.

In addition to her yoga training, Genny has studied anatomy extensively.

She applies this knowledge to her understanding and teaching of yoga, directing her students toward a deeper awareness in asana and pranayama through precision of alignment. Genny also uses the poetics of language to guide her students, and to create “a mind-state in the room that is gentle and focused.”

Through Iyengar Yoga, she says, students attain ever more precise alignment of the skeletal-muscular, organ, and nervous systems. Working towards harmony of body, mind, and spirit, they are able to move out into the world with more grace.

We’ll start with a restorative practice on Friday at 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm followed by dinner.

Start Date: August 27, 2010

Extend Your Summer Bliss: Vinyasa Yoga Retreat with Marisa Sako – Sept. 10 – 12 2010

Title: Extend Your Summer Bliss: Vinyasa Yoga Retreat with Marisa Sako
Location: Heathen Hill

Description

We’re heading upstate the weekend after Labor Day…so, by coming on this retreat, you’ll be extending your summer bliss one extra week!

Unwind, relax, reinvigorate. Revel in 4 of Marisa’s vinyasa yoga classes. Spend your time in between classes doing what brings you into balance. Take a swim, do a handstand off the dock, practice walking meditation in the labyrinth, play bocce, badminton, hula-hoop, or lie in the hammock. Enjoy veggies grown right there; eggs are courtesy of the Heathen Hill Hens. End the day sitting around a bonfire or soaking in the hot tub.

About Marissa

I relish the moment in warrior III when the first bead of sweat drips off the tip of the nose and splashes onto the mat, yet concentration remains unbroken. In my class, you can expect emphasis on creative transitions to keep the practice interesting and innovative. I manage to geek out on alignment in just the right dose as not to disrupt the flow. After completing my 200-hour teacher training in 2006, I found Kula Yoga Project where I first learned to slow down and let myself be in really intense places while finding comfort in the sonorous sound of the collective ujjayi breath in the room. After a few years of practice with Schuyler Grant, I participated in her 75-hour intensive training. You’ll get a healthy serving of anatomical information and breath instruction needed to free you up so you can sweat and flow safely and delve into the deeper layers of your practice. I first studied anatomy with neuromuscular therapist Susan Hefner, later with Leslie Kaminoff. By late 2010, I will have completed my 500-hour certification and certificate in Yoga for Backcare with preeminent alignment stickler Alison West. I try to pass on to my students what yoga has given me: breath as a bridge between the body and mind, and the ability to imbue action with mindfulness and heart through moving meditation.
