Ashtanga Yoga Weekend 2
commençant le Vendredi 20 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.
Schedule:

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)
