Refine, Realign and Redefine Your Personal Yoga Practice

About Refine, Realign and Redefine Your Personal Yoga Practice
To fit the yoga to the person, and not the person to the yoga, is the most striking and important precept that we can follow today in practicing yoga. Linking breath to movement is the next most important one. If you are a beginner or a longer time practitioner, join me in these 4 deeply beneficial workshops to personalize each asana to your unique body, mind and spirit complex. Each of us is anatomically, mentally, and spiritually different, and yet within that unique microcosm, we share a desire and devotion to find a path towards our own healing and joy. Based in the Kirhsnamacharya lineage, beginning with Asana (postures) and Pranayama (breathing techniques) Denise will lead you into the ways and means of breaking down asanas to fit your needs and demystifying breathing techniques to soothe and balance your emotional and psychological aspects.
These powerful workshops are open to beginners and intermediate students alike, all ages, levels of fitness and practice are strongly encouraged to attend. Each student will be met exactly where they are and will benefit greatly from this intimate and supportive gathering.
Denise Kirpal, E-RYT 500, IKYTA Level II, C.Ay. has been teaching and leading yoga teacher trainings for the last 16 years. She has a rich and diversified background in Hatha Vinyasa yoga, Kundalini yoga, therapeutics, meditation, and Ayurveda as well as behavioral sociology and yogic psychology.
