Ashtanga Weekend Workshop with Kino MacGregor

Yin Yoga and Meditation (6:00pm – 8:00pm)

Dial down the nervous system and enter the subtle body with two hours of meditation and Yin Yoga. Begin with a long practice of mindfulness to change the brainwave state. Extend the meditative state with long holds and healing poses that allow the body, mind and spirit to come into harmony and coherence. Combine the disciplines of yoga and meditation and this uniquely transformative practice with Kino. All levels are welcome.

Ashtanga Breakdown (10.30am – 12.30pm)

Dive into a detailed exploration of the Ashtanga Yoga method starting with the foundational principles of practice in the Primary Series. Break down key principles and poses in a perfect mix between theory and application. Perfect for all levels, new students will find a warm welcome to this ancient tradition and old students will leave with a fresh look at the lineage and practice.

True Strength (1:30pm – 3:30pm)

The powerful strength-based asanas and transitions of the yoga practice are often intimidating and difficult to practice. Join this session to tap into your natural strength as Kino shares the techniques and tips that she uses to develop and build strength. You will leave this session with a methodological approach to strength that will transform your practice. True strength is rooted in the spiritual lessons of the practice and moves far beyond brute force. Explore everything from lift-ups to inversions to arm balances from a radically new perspective and leave with real tools to apply in your practice and in your life. Appropriate for all levels.

Meditation and the Equanimous Mind (3:45pm – 4:45pm)

Dive down into the inner world equipped with a calm, steady mind and a courageous heart. Train the mind to be single-pointed in the Eka-Tattva state and cultivate a state of equanimity. A strong mind is a vital tool on the path of living the yogi’s life. Join this session and begin your spiritual journey.
