Ashtanga Yoga Weekend 1
commençant le Vendredi 13 mars 2015 à 19:00
With a lifetime of experience, Kathy invites students to develop both softness and strength in their Ashtanga practice. Come join us for a beautiful experience at Kathy's fifth workshop in Luxembourg! This year she will give two consecutive workshops and in between 5 early morning Mysore style practice classes where students practice independently at their own pace. Kathy will give individual attention and adjustments along with Jacob Handwerker, her long-time personal assistant.
Both workshops will have a similar track of primary series, intermediate series and Mysore style classes. The asana clinics will differ as follows: primary series in the first workshop and intermediate series in the second workshop.

Testimonials:
"I have been teaching Ashtanga Yoga for 35 years. In that time, I have taught less than a dozen people the entire four series. One of these people was Kathy Cooper. She began practicing with me in 1976. Kathy is a true yogini. Her practice and her personality are beautiful and an inspiration to everyone who meets her. She is as nice a person as you will ever meet. Whenever I am asked to recommend a yoga teacher in the San Francisco area, without hesitation, I always recommend Kathy first. She is the best." - David Williams (www.ashtangayogi.com)

Style : Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga vinyasa est une pratique de hatha yoga transmis à Pattahbi Jois par le grand maître de yoga Krishnamacharya. C'est pour l'étudiant qui cherche une approche vigoureuse qui purifie, stimule et dynamise. Il est composé de postures pratiquées dans un rythme fluide, avec une respiration constante, l’attention et des contractions internes qui concentrent l’énergie vitale.
