SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Ashtanga - Dynamic Vinyasa Dimension
This asana class will focus on how proper vinyasa knowledge extends beyond memorizing the number of positions of the asana; you are also meant to know the vinyasa positions dynamically within your body. There is a great art to understanding the subtle progressions of movement that bring you into and out of each asana, exploring this refinement is what brings you into readiness, poise, beauty and alignment in your postures. We'll look at how such vinyasa knowledge helps you understand how to refine your awareness and to learn to see the practice as chiefly dhyana, meditation.

Philosophy Talk - Connection Between Ashtanga Yoga and Yoga Sutra 1:17
Yoga Sutra 1:17 formally introduces you to the subject of the 8th limb, Samadhi, by teaching you how to connect with 4 main objects of meditation: 1) Vitarka (Gross) 2) Vicara (Subtle) 3) Ananda (Feelings of bliss) 4) Asmita (Individual sense of ‘I AM’). This class will include a discussion of how to use these four forms to develop your skill in hatha yoga techniques and gain knowledge of where you and your practice are situated within the greater context of yoga.
