Yoga for Life
Self-Care: Pathways to Self-Discovery
with Anneke Faas and Sachiko Willis
Explore the body and breath through this potent in-person yoga program
In our quest for good health, self-care is a pathway to self-discovery. For yoga practitioners, self-care involves daily yoga practices which could be asana, pranayama, study of the texts and chanting. These practices are grounding, helping to nourish the soul and provide clarity in our lives. As a yoga practitioner, you know that the gifts of practice are powerful. Consistent practice can give you the ability to rest in yourself more comfortably, helping you to establish stability and ease in who you are. This in turn makes your actions and relationships clear and meaningful – both within the home and outside in your world.
Yoga immersions give an important boost of inspiration and perspective to harness the power of our practice – and they offer a renewed commitment to our wellbeing. There is something very special about focusing on yoga with the same group of people over an extended period of time. It brings support and continuity to our daily work. This year, Yoga for Life is particularly important because each of us is seeking to understand the effects of sheltering in place and chart our lives moving forward.
Setting aside time for your yoga practice is prioritizing time to nourish yourself on multiple levels – physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual. Join Anneke and Sachiko for this yogic booster injection.
The 2022 program will be unique in several ways
This program will be held in person. All participants must be fully vaccinated. We will follow any mask mandates that may exist at that time.
You will get to explore yoga practices that may be new to you, and deepen your favorite approaches. Participants will develop a home practice which includes asana and may extend to pranayama, chanting, philosophy and other aspects of self-care rooted in the Iyengar Yoga approach.
Light on Life will be our well spring of inspiration from the Iyengar Family. This potent text by BKS Iyengar is ripe for group discussion, and we look forward to studying it together.
This program is for you if
You want a taste of how a daily practice can improve your life.
You’re curious how yoga philosophy can support your relationship with yourself and others.
You want to use savasana and pranayama to help you work with your energy levels and capacity to handle change.
You want to build strong relationships and join a community of like-minded people.
Who is this for?
Students of Iyengar yoga with a year of experience who are seeking deeper experience to boost their practice. Ability to do shoulder stand and a basic knowledge of sirsasana is mandatory. If these poses are contraindicated for you, you should know the appropriate alternatives.
