Midsummer Fun!

Explore & Play: Human Movement and Asana

Description

Join Paula Liberis for a weekend of creative play and adventurous practice. Come prepared to light up your practice and make your body and mind sparkle and glow like luminous fireworks!

This fresh approach to movement will allow you to uncover unconscious holding patterns and find the restrictions that keep you from moving freely and gracefully in your asana practice.

We will employ a sense of playfulness and curiosity to help us explore human movement and asana with freedom and ease. With the elimination of tension and expectation we can more fully explore the integration of asana, pranayama and deep relaxation.

This retreat is geared towards intermediate to advanced students with an established yoga practice.

About Ellen Kaplow

E-RYT… Satsang Yoga creative director, YogaManJari Teacher Training

Ellen has been a well sought after ACE certified fitness instructor, Teacher- trainer and Group Fitness Director for over 25 years. She discovered Yoga (or Yoga found her) over 18 years ago and the rest as they say… is history. In the words of Rodney Yee, “We come to Yoga either from inspiration or out of desperation & for Ellen it was both.” After meeting her dear friend and mentor, Pam Flynn of Shakti Yoga, Ellen knew that this was a path she was meant to follow. Ellen completed an Anusara style teacher training with Molly Fox and Amy Ippoliti and is registered with the Yoga Alliance. She has studied extensively with Baron Baptiste, Sharon Gannon and David Life of Jivamukti Yoga, Maty Ezratry and Chuck Miller, Nancy Gilgoff, Lino Miele, Ana Forrest, Beryl Bender Birch , John Friend, Kofi Buscia, Christina Sell and Noah Maze’ and as of this Sept. Nikki Costello….so many wonderful teachers along the way.

She continues to study with and be inspired by her primary teacher Rodney Yee, (completing advanced teacher trainings with Rodney first in 2003 and each year since). Ellen has been included and has had the privilege of being part of a small retreat here at Heathen Hill open only to Rod’s senior students . (and not those who are AARP members). Being at Heathen Hill with Rodney, Colleen, Lippy and the rest of the crew..esteemed teachers in their own right, while doing what i love …is truly a gift. it has been an amazing journey!

Ellen‘s classes are a perfect blend of alignment, vinyasa and fun. Each experience is meant to allow the individual to discover his/her greatest potential. Ellen is grateful every day for the inspiration of her students and fellow instructors, the gift of Practice, her devoted staff and the love of her family (her three fabulous children, husband Rick and her 3 sweet pups. Ellen would also like to give a special shout out to Sally Narkis for urging her to step into the world of Teacher Training and retreats and to Connie Schaffer for opening this amazing studio with her over 10 years ago!

Namaste!

About Vivekan & Jess

Vivekan is the founder and director of Park Slope, Brooklyn’s Bodhisattva Yoga (www.BodhisattvaYoga.com). He was originally certified under a direct disciple of Swami Satchidananda and has since studied with many teachers of varying traditions. He has especially been inspired by teachers from Tibet, China, India & the West. Synthesizing these influences, Vivekan has created his own unique brand of yoga instruction called Bodhisattva Yoga. His meditation instruction, and broad yogic knowledge in general, enriches his students’ experience with his ability to tie yogic philosophy with ordinary, everyday experiences.

Bodhisattva Yoga’s Co-Director, Jess, received her teacher certification under Vivekan and continues to apprentice under his guidance. She draws inspiration from her practice, her teachers and the Dharma. Among students and private clients she is known for her warmth, encouragement and her ability to share her personal tips, tricks and hacks to make life off and on the mat a little more laid back and rock star.
