Join Rolf for a dynamic weekend of Vinyasa, meditation, pranayama, and lecture/discussion as we explore the practices that create a life that works.
The pose is what we are doing, the yoga is how we are being in the pose. The yoga will be a synergy of the freedom of a powerful Vinyasa class and the structural integrity of yoga’s therapeutic alignment principles.
The intensive is intentionally challenging, but open to all who wish to explore yoga as an evolutionary journey.
The only ‘requirement’ is that you show up, do your best and let your best be good enough.
Beginners Welcome!
