Join Chase Bossart, a long-time private student of Mr. T.K.V. Desikachar, for a two hour workshop which will explore breathing and mediation techniques for supporting a calm and relaxed state of mind during the holidays.

December Courses:

Using Observation and Reading Bodies for the Subtle Adjustment with Patricia Sullivan
Saturday, Dec 2, 2006: 1pm-6pm ($150)
In adjusting students, teachers first perceive by seeing and reading the body through the visual field, a skill which Patricia will help student-teachers understand and refine. Touch is a vehicle for perception, a means of receiving information, as well as for giving information, guidance, and support.

Pranayama and Meditation with Patricia Sullivan
Saturday, Dec 9, 2006: 1pm-6pm ($150)
Meditation seems effortless when the body-mind feels relaxed and steady. Patricia will illustrate specific restorative sequencing that is useful before and after a pranayama practice to make the elusive transformational benefits of meditation much more accessible. After experiencing the restorative poses, student-teachers will look at others in the class and learn how to help them find the most appropriate set up for various types of bodies. This will be followed by specific pranayama and meditation techniques.
