011: Creating and Deepening Your Yoga Practice

Thursday, September 11 from 9:00am-3:00pm
Michele Hebert and Mehrad Nazari, PhD

Learn to transmit authentic yoga teachings from personal experience. This comprehensive yoga workshop will support and enhance whatever your current yoga practice may be as you learn to unite asana practice with the inner practices of yoga. Applying a balanced approach, Michele and Mehrad will guide you through a consciousness-based journey into the joyful heart of yoga.

A strong morning session with Mehrad will emphasize the yoga asanas and their related psychology, followed by a pranayama (breathwork) session with Michele. In the afternoon, you will explore the inner dimensions of mindfulness, concentration, chakra balancing and meditation.

If you are a practicing yogi, the retreat will serve to deepen your practice. If you are a new practitioner, it will provide you with a solid base and a time-tested tradition from which to grow. Transcending the boundaries of the many styles of yoga available today, the classic method of raja yoga will connect you to their underlying essence.


Mehrad Nazari, PhD, is a senior teacher of raja yoga and has been teaching for 15 years. He is a continuing education specialist in yoga for the American Council on Exercise and an international presenter.
