February Workshops
Three workshops with Leslie Kaminoff!
The Most Powerful Breath You'll Ever Take
Sunday, Feb 12th 10:30am - 12:30pm
$30
…is your very first breath. It transforms your entire physiology from its non-breathing, non-eating fetal state to that of an independent entity
that must oxygenate its own blood, seek out its own nutrition, and navigate a world of gravity and space. For the rest of our lives, we will have
to negotiate this intricate dance between our internal and external spaces. A breath-centered yoga practice offers you the opportunity to take the
second most transformational breath you will ever take, and that is the specific goal of this workshop.
Through inspiration, education and reflection,
Leslie Kaminoff will lead you through a series of practices he calls "Non-Pranayama" that will forever transform your relationship to your breathing body.
Demystifying the Bandhas
Sunday, Feb 12th 1:00pm - 3:00pm
$30
Recently, the "yogic locks" of Mula, Uddiyana and Jalandhara Bandha have become the subject of much interest, misinformation and confusion.
In this workshop, Leslie Kaminoff applies his unique, experiential approach to clarify the anatomical basis and proper use of these powerful,
yet widely misunderstood tools.
By clearly linking the bandhas with their corresponding anatomical structures, and learning a few simple,
yet powerful exercises, participants will gain a direct experience of these vital practices.
The Warrior Series
Sunday, Feb 12th 3:30pm - 5:30pm
$30
If you like a strong, flowing, breath-centered yoga practice, but have done more than a few too many down dogs, up dogs and chaturangas,
then this is the class for you. Leslie Kaminoff will lead you through a specially designed vinyasa that strongly works the legs, opens the hips,
moves the spine in all possible directions; all without putting any body weight on your hands.
The sequence will be taught twice; first with detailed
written instructions and alignment cues, and again with an emphasis on flowing continuously with the breath.

Storytelling and Flight School with Raghunath
Sunday, Feb 26th 1:00pm - 3:30pm
$45
Flight School: noun \'flit\ noun \'skül\
Raghunath is a professor of flight, and Flight School is his famously popular anti gravity workshop for bona fide asana geeks.
Advanced asanas are dissected, while experiments with variations and transitions are taught. You will catalyze your own dynamic
signature practice, melt your fear, push your edge and realize your potential, no matter what level you are at. Take your practice
to its highest. The workshop will be interlaced with chanting and stories from classic Indian texts; rooted in down to earth spirituality,
and instructions for living a contemporary yogic lifestyle. Fasten your seat belt, Flight School is in session.
Raghunath can take an ordinary space and turn it into an ashram. "I walk out of the room and into the subway singing!" one of his students recently commented. This is why 75% of the students in his advanced classes are yoga teachers themselves, and although a very physical if not extremely acrobatic class, one walks out of the door not as if they've been to a gym working out, but, in fact touched spiritually and emotionally. Raghunath weaves in his 20+ years of practicing and living like a yogi to demonstrate "the yogi's paradigm of reality." Raghunath's gift is to take the esoteric yoga philosophy of ancient India, which he studied for 6.5 years in an ashram as a celibate bramachari (monk), and make it accessible and practical for the contemporary world. This he does eloquently with enthusiasm, humor, song and passionate devotion.

Master Class with Barbu Panaitescu

2 1/2 hours of yoga bliss with Dharma Yoga teacher Barbu Panaitescu.
Barbu has been studying the science of yoga and how to live a yogic lifestyle in the modern world with Sri Dharma Mittra (based in NYC)
for the last 3 years, and has recently moved back to Colorado to share the sacred teachings he’s absorbed with the local community.
He works on a moment-by-moment basis to foster a sense of gratitude, mindfulness, tender-heartedness and openness, bringing these
elements into all his classes and healing modalities with strength and light-heartedness.
Class begins with a short Dharma talk, followed by Pranayama (breathwork), invigorating Asana (poses) and Yoga Nidra
(Yogic sleep/relaxation), finishing with seated meditation. Practitioners are brought into a deeper sense of connection to their bodies,
their breath and the earth itself. Classes are designed for students and yogins of all backgrounds and levels.
