July 27-29, 2012 – Chrissy Carter and Jenny Aurthur Intermediate/Advanced

Description

Challenge and deepen your practice with Jenny and Chrissy at Heathen Hill. 4 playful practices, 5 opportunities to eat Lip’s amazing cooking (almost ALL of the food is harvested from her property!), with lots of time for frolicking in the grass or napping in the hammock. Escape the city heat, recommit yourself to your mat and then take a dip in the watering hole. There will be inversions, hula-hooping, wine by the campfire, and a hard-core game of late night Taboo!

*Retreat open to intermediate/advanced practitioners.

After moving to New York in 2004 she began studying with Carrie Owerko and has since become very influenced by Iyengar yoga and the yoga philosophy of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Her classes include a mixture of the movement and fluidity of Ashtanga Vinyasa and the precision of Iyengar yoga.

Summertime is a wonderful time for adventurous and playful practice. And this summer you are invited to join us for a weekend retreat of playful practice at the lovely Heathen Hill. We will venture into new territory by bringing curiosity, a sense of adventure, and a fresh approach to our practice of yoga.

This workshop is for intermediate or higher level students who are interested in practicing deeply, wholeheartedly, with the intention of uncovering the learner (and teacher) within themselves.

We will have plenty of time to explore the integration of asana, pranayama and yoga philosophy in our practices.
