Pranayama Intensive
November 4-8, 2024
Daily from 7-7:30am
Sessions will be recorded if you cannot attend live.
This class will introduce some basic Pranayama techniques. Pranayama, the 4th limb in Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga system, is a practice of energy management and elongation in the body. Prana refers to the energy that animates, controls, and permeates the world in and around us. It is the active and intelligent force that connects everything. And Pranayama is the exploration of how we can tap into this universal potential. Developing a personal Pranayama practice helps us access this fountain of energy. Instead of fighting nature, we gradually become able to partner with it, and flow more freely in life, experiencing greater health, vitality and clarity. Patanjali says that the regular practice of Pranayama reduces the obstacles that inhibit clear perception. With this practice, the mind is prepared for the process of direction toward a chosen goal. In these 5 morning sessions, we will construct a safe, effective and powerful home practice.
Fee: $65
Guided 4 Day Ayurvedic Fall Cleanse
October 24-27, 2024
Fee: $108
Reset and detox in just 4 days. This fall, we will do a short home cleanse. This process will be relatively simple and will focus on creating/re-creating a healthy daily schedule. We will use a basic and clean diet, teas, an easy herbal regimen, yoga, breathing and some basic self-care to help us press the reset button. The goal is to reignite the digestive fire (agni) and eliminate toxicity (ama) from the body so that we can experience greater vitality. If you have never done a cleanse and are curious, this is the one for you! Included:
Intro session and Guidebook
1 recorded Yoga class for cleansing
1 recorded Pranayama class for cleansing
1 recorded Meditation class
4 live morning classes/discussions (recorded for those unable to attend live):
Understanding the fall seasonal diet
Supporting the immune system
Vata balancing breath work
Creating healthy daily routine
Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series Adjustment Clinic with Christine Hoar in Montauk
October 25 - 29, 2023, $550
Hone your ability to see, feel, touch and verbalize in your teaching. In this workshop you will begin to learn the principles of hands-on adjusting, of working therapeutically, and of sensing energy movement and blockage in the body. The Primary Series of the Ashtanga Yoga system will serve as the basis for Asana work.
Each day will consist of a combination of theory and practical sessions. We will cover the philosophy and principles behind adjustments, including the importance of proper alignment, breath awareness, and energetic flow. You will also delve into the art of observation, learning how to read students' bodies and understand their individual needs. By the end of the clinic, you will leave with a deeper understanding of the power of adjustments as a method of teaching. You will gain the confidence and knowledge to effectively assist all levels of students, creating a safe and transformative experience.
All participants should be practicing the full primary series regularly. In the morning, there will be a Mysore practice. In the afternoon, we will focus on the theory and practice of hands-on adjustments for the primary series, including modifications. There will be ample time for questions and personal attention.
This is a unique opportunity to study with me in person. Having nearly 30 years experience of practice and teaching with hands-on adjustments, and having been in the capable hands of my own teachers, I respectfully pass along the knowledge of this lineage.
