Recharge Your Yoga Practice with Krista Shirley

This spring, Krista Shirley of the Yoga Shala Orlando joins Yoga Life for a weekend workshop. Come study with her in the mornings for a Mysore-style practice, followed by afternoon lectures.


April 28-29, 2012

Saturday:
10:00am - Noon: Mysore Practice
1:30pm - 4:30pm: Deconstruction before Reconstruction
Intended for students with a daily practice. In this workshop we will learn how to deal with the discomfort we face in our yoga asana practice. Muscles and bones and nerves, emotional scares and fears and hurts… They all come to the surface with daily asana practice. Join Krista in a discussion about deconstruction before reconstruction.

Sunday:
10:00am - Noon: Mysore Practice
1:30pm - 4:30pm: Leave Your Expectations at the Door
Suitable for all levels. Let go of what you think you know and allow yourself put faith and trust in your teacher and your daily yoga practice. Guruji always told us to practice, practice, practice and all will come. Let’s explore this concept, this truth! If we can find safety on our yoga mat, with our yoga teacher, and ourselves, the benefits can spill into all areas of our lives.



Krista's Bio: Krista has been teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga since 2004. Krista spent a week studying with Manju Jois in 2004 but primarily kept her daily practice up on her own for several years before embarking on her first trip to Mysore in 2006 to study with Shri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji), Sharath Rangaswamy, and Saraswati Rangaswamy at the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Insti-tute. She travels back to Mysore every year to spend several months under the guidance of her teachers. In February of 2009 Krista was given authorization to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga by the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute.

Kino MacGregor Weekend Workshop
February 25-26, 2012

Saturday, February 25
10 AM - 12 PM Guided
2 - 4 PM Arm Balances for Everyone
Break a sweat while learning to safely balance on your hands, have fun while challenging yourself and gain access to your own inner strength. The magic of the arm balance is demystified and made approachable so that every practitioner who is not afraid to put in the work can feel the beauty of flight. When done correctly arm balances can build self-esteem, increase energy flow and heal old injuries. Every student will leave with proven techniques to safely build the structural support necessary for stability in all strength based postures.

Sunday, February 26
8 AM - 10 AM Mysore
12 - 2 PM: The Spiritual Journey of Asana
Yoga is a daily practice that demands our full devotion before we can begin to even scratch the surface of its deeper meaning as a lifelong spiritual path. Kino leads you through a discussion of key elements of the sacred, foundational text of yoga, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Rather than a historical account Kino integrates yoga philosophy with daily asana practice and modern life. Written more than 2,000 years ago the teaching of Patanjali is composed of 195 Sutras organized in four books and holds the essence of the eight-limbed path of Asthanga Yoga. By exploring the basis of physical yoga postures and methodology for spiritual learning in the Yoga Sutras you will delve deeper into the process of self-realization, the true intention of all hatha yoga.


ENTIRE WORKSHOP by January 5: $150; $170 thereafter. For more information and registration contact Krista@TheYogaShala.org


Workshop Cancellation Policy/Refunds:
All cancellations must be made 10 days prior to the start of the workshop. Refunds will be given in the form of studio credit only (less a $15 processing fee). No credits will be given within 10 days of the start of workshop.
