A Spring Yoga Retreat with Amanda McMaine
Brown County, Indiana ... This retreat will give you the tools to draw deeply on your yoga practice to maintain stability in these challenging times. Every aspect of yoga contributes to bringing the mind to peaceful equilibrum and clarity. From yoga philosophy to the practice of breath, bandha, and asana, Amanda's deep, integrated approach will fill your yoga practice with insight for many months to come, whether you are a beginning student or an advanced practitioner. Amanda McMaine is an internationally recognized teacher and long-time student of both Angela Farmer, noted for her emphasis on unfolding the feminine aspect of our nature, and Richard Freeman, one of the most outstanding astanga teachers in the United States. Amanda brings warmth, grace, and subtlety, as well as the fruits of many years of concentrated internal exploration, to her teaching of yoga. The work done with Amanda is usually slow, intense, and deep. This year, join her for a dive into the natural relationship between breath and bandha and the relationships among breath, bandha and asana.Sign up early...
