Living the Yoga Tradition Workshop with Christina Sell and Craig Williams

February Immersion Workshop with Christina Sell

The Yoga Studio of Corpus Christi is pleased to present:

Living the Yoga Tradition:
A weekend of study and practice with Craig Williams and Christina Sell
February 20-22, 2009

The emergence of yoga in the West is a relatively recent phenomenon. Various schools or branches of yoga abound each touting a unique method, viewpoint or goal. Far from being a relaxation technique or exercise fad, the original yoga tradition developed out of a larger multi-dimensional Indic heritage: the Vedic Tradition. Unfortunately in the West few yoga teachers or practitioners are aware of the Vedic roots of the yoga tradition or the dharmic cultural milieu from which yoga blossomed. This weekend will explore the Vedic tradition through scriptural study, asana practice, mantra practice, meditation and contemplation. The workshop will be taught progressively and will be highly experiential. Students are encouraged to participate in all sessions.
Please join us for an inspiring weekend of study, practice, and good company!

Opening To Grace- Anusara Yoga® for all levels with Christina Sell
January 2-4, 2009
Anusara (a-nu-sar-a), means “flowing with Grace,” “going with the flow,” “following your heart.”

Founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara Yoga is a powerful hatha yoga system that unifies a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic Goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment™. Currently, Anusara Yoga is one of the most popular and fastest growing yoga styles in the world with over 1200 affiliated teachers and 100,000 students world-wide.

Anusara Yoga's remarkable popularity is due in large part to its uplifting philosophy, epitomized by a "celebration of the heart," that looks for the good in all people and all things. Consequently, students of all levels of ability and yoga experience are honored for their unique differences, limitations, and talents. This life-affirming vision sets the basis for a yoga system in which the harmony and joy of a tightly knit community is exulted. Not only is Anusara Yoga an elegant system of alignment principles and non-dual philosophy, but it is also a wonderful community of highly trained teachers and fun-loving students. This community feels like it has the tightness of a family, yet the looseness of a merry band of bohemian artists.
Join us this weekend and find out how Anusara Yoga can help you take your practice to a new level!

Fri., Jan. 2 6:00-8:00 Flowing with Grace, Flowing with the Breath Asana Flow

Sat., Jan. 3 9:00-12:30 The Divine Pulsation:Primary Flows of Energy All-levels Asana

We realize that not everyone can commit to a Teacher Training Program or needs a Yoga Alliance 200 hour certification. We would like to offer this incredible experience to all those who may be interested in Anusara Yoga and to those who would like the opportunity to experience a Christina Sell class!
