In the Fall of 2008, I attended an Iyengar Intensive with FRANCOIS RAOULT in Rochester, New York. I was so inspired and excited by his teaching that I immediately invited him to come to Woodstock to present to you his knowledge of Iyengar Yoga. Last Fall’s workshop on Pranayama and Ayurveda was well attended. Here’s your chance to see him again… or for the first time.
I realized then that many Woodstock students have a limited view of yoga. We are a small town. But the power of following a strong system like Iyengar Yoga is that the lineage is CLEAR. The beauty of the teaching comes though as you study with different teachers. Francois is a master teacher: in Yoga and the related Indian arts and sciences.
For those of you who were “scared off” by previous weekend intensives, this seminar is for you! The majority of the work will be on Tadasana (Mountain Pose) “just standing around!” In this yoga seminar we will practice postural awareness and alignment in daily life postures as well as in standing and sitting yoga asanas. The yoga and the asana will be presented clearly. It will not be a difficult class asana-wise. But I assure you that you will come away from the weekend inspired for your fall practice season of yoga. NON-IYENGAR STUDENTS are WELCOME TO COME. This will be a very inclusive workshop.
We will also look at François’s internationally acclaimed slide show on Posture. The slides are of people from all around the world standing, walking, carrying on the head and sitting. We will explore how yoga practice and daily life patterns of movement are deeply connected.
This Workshop is Designed to Help Participants:
- Open and facilitate the practice of such disciplines as yoga, music, sports and meditation.
- Prevent or minimize pain or discomfort in daily movement and at work.
- Appreciate and observe human postural alignment in other cultures: Africa, Asia and traditional ares of Europe through discussion and slide presentation.
Registration is limited to 40 participants. Sign up soon.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Woodstock is beautiful in the fall. The leaves won’t be turning yet, but the weather should be perfect. Those of you coming from the city or elsewhere, make a weekend or a holiday of it. There is plenty to do in Woodstock: Tibetan & Zen Monasteries, Overlook Mountain, fresh air, good food. Please email me if you need directions and hotel or B&B accommodations. Woodstock is an easy two hour drive from NYC depending on the traffic leaving the City. If you don’t drive, want to save on gas money, or be green about it you can easily take the Trailways bus (only 2 hours) from Port Authority. The bus drops you in the center of Woodstock for your lodging and it’s an easy stroll to get to Mountain View Studio and the local cafes. Let me know if you need more information.
CANCELLATION
If you must cancel, you will get a full refund only if your spot can be filled. Otherwise I will hold a $25 cancellation fee.
