50 Hour Vinyasa Tantra Immersion w/ Ashley Turner

Next Program Dates: Winter 2008 - dates forthcoming!

Course Highlights: Ashley's Tantra Hatha Yoga Training is evolutionary work, and she brings it exclusively to Dhyana Yoga. This program will exploring how the philosophical roots of yoga are imbedded in the non-dual wisdom of Tantra. Moving beyond the external mechanics of yoga, we learn to invoke the full power of "Sri" - the unified field of consciousness. The physical part of Ashley's teaching is extremely powerful (she has been twice named among the country's "Best Power Yoga Teachers" by Yoga Journal) and her asana and sequencing techniques will be shared as well. The psychology layered on top of the physical practice, though, is what takes a powerful Vinyasa practice to the next level, though, and the merging of the two creates a unique Tantra experience. This is a very special opportunity to study with a nationally recognized, revolutionary and inspiring yoga teacher. Learn more about Ashley at www.ashleyturner.org

Payment: $600
