Friday
Fundamentals of Practice
7:00 - 9:00 pm
Bandhas and breathing in asana and Pranayama practice. This
introductory session will explore the fundamental building blocks of
asana practice, focusing mainly on bandhas, breathing, alignment and
vinyasa. Through learning uddiyana, agni sara and eventually nauli, a
deeper awareness of the bandhas arises. Through this awareness we will
explore the expansion of breath, correct alignment and find balance,
"sweetness" and strength in the asanas and pranayamas.
Saturday
Mysore Practice
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Mysore style practice allows you to breathe and move at your own speed. The verbal instruction is minimized to allow you to sink deeper into the internal aspects of the practice. Much of the teaching comes through the application of hands-on adjustments, which is a form of body work that enables the student to understand how to move beyond apparent limitations. The adjustments show the body how to move with selective effort using the appropriate muscles and allows the parts of the body which need to release to do so.
Mind Medicine I & II
1:00 - 3:00 pm
Two talks on Ashtanga Yoga theory, philosophy and practice. Followed by Q&A and Pranayama.

Guy Donahaye met Sri K Pattabhi Jois in 1991 and continued his studies
with him, mostly in India, over a period of eighteen years until Jois'
death in 2009. He is one of only 40 students worldwide who has been
awarded a teaching certification by Jois during his 70 years of
teaching, and has been conducting yoga classes in this traditional
method since 1993.
Guy's interest in yoga is equally therapeutic, philosophical and spiritual: He came to yoga with the desire to improve his ability to meditate and found in yoga a deeply therapeutic tool, which facilitates spiritual evolution through healing body and mind.
In 2009 he published "Guruji" - a tribute to the teachings and life of Sri K Pattabhi Jois with Eddie Stern - a collection of 30 interviews he had conducted over a twelve year period with Jois' senior students and family.
He has been the director of the Ashtanga Yoga Shala in NYC since 1999 and before that in the UK from 1993-1998. He teaches regular workshops on Yoga Philosophy and Practice in New York and internationally.
