After more than a year of dealing with the pandemic, it’s time to find our Selves and rediscover our community through a breath-centered practice where we will balance our minds and bodies amidst the beauty of Taos, New Mexico.
Each day will focus on a different family of poses through an alignment-based vinyasa practice that will both strengthen and open the body. We’ll purge the toxins that may have built up over the year through challenging practices, which you can modify, and then reconnect to our deeper selves through sweet restorative postures, breath-work and long, deep savasanas.
Spending time with others out in the beautiful and historic landscape of Taos will recharge the soul from the inside out. Nature baths and a strong sense of community help us to revitalize and restore, leaving us refreshed and ready for all that life brings us.
Alignment-based vinyasa combines the concepts of proper alignment, themed classes and usage of props from the Iyengar tradition of yoga with Ashtanga’s tradition of moving with the breath through Sun Salutations. It is a practice that uses intelligent sequencing to create strong mental focus or concentration as well as requiring physical discipline and strength.
