Embodied Breathing Training with Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews

FINALLY!

This is the advanced hands-on training that so many of you have been asking for...

This 10-day workshop will explore the anatomy, physiology and kinesiology of breathing from a variety of perspectives – through movement explorations, discussion, hands-on work and pranayama practices.

This is a brand-new program intended primarily as professional level training for graduates of The Breathing Project's Advanced Studies Program, to whom enrollment priority will be given. There may be a limited number of spaces avialable to qualified, experienced Yoga teachers who have graduated from other trianing programs...e-mail for more info.

Dates/Times: July 16-20 and July 23 - 27, 2007 (Mon. thru Fri.) 9:30am to 5:00pm

Cost: $1,200 ( $1,000 w/payment by June 20) Enrollment is limited to 20 students.

Anatomy Homework for May 2, 2007

For this week's assignment, please explain - as if to a student - exactly why it is risky to pull the legs into lotus position.

Also, you can try a knee haiku:

Sthira meets Sukha
when your two longest bones join.
Stable. Mobile. Knees.

I look forward to seeing you next week, when we will complete our discussion of the knee, and also talk about the pelvic joints, hip joints and the "yoga butt" diagnosis.
