Description:

The last few years have taught us many things, but probably the most powerful lesson it gave us is the absolute truth of impermanence. Now is the time for deepening our practice and reconnecting with our inner silence and ease. Join us in sunny San Diego, CA, as we shape a full 25-hour, five-day retreat workshop. We will practice Active (Hatha) and Quiet yoga (Restorative and Pranayama) daily.

Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D.,
is a beloved yoga expert and physical therapist who has taught yoga around the world since 1971. Judith has published eleven books, including her most recent:
Teaching Yoga with Intention.
She is the queen of Restorative Yoga, Breath, and Non-Violent Communication Training.

Morning Practice: Turning Inward:
Yoga chat. Then, we step onto our sacred mat for asana and pranayama practice, focusing on our inner experience of these practices.

Afternoon Practice: Taking Our Practice into the World:
Yoga chat, restorative yoga, and pranayama to remind ourselves that Savasana is a gift we give to ourselves and the world at the same time.
