Christina Sell returns this year for another amazing weekend of inspiration and transformation! Any 3 sessions: $108. All 6 sessions: $210. Register now!

This weekend, we'll work with the theme of Power: Accessing It, Cultivating It, Using It. The philosophies that inform Anusara Yoga speak of a power abiding in every heart. Our practices give us ways and means to access, cultivate, and express this power in the world. The task of the yogi is to engage the process skillfully, with integrity and with reverence for the potent source of power within. Come explore the power of intention, the power of practice, the power of relationship, the power of accountability, and the power of expression in this dynamic and inspiring weekend with Christina Sell.

Fri 1:00 - 4:00 pm, Advanced Level $45
The Power Within: Tap into your own power through this 3-hour group practice led by Christina. Explore standing postures, arm balances and backbends in a progressive sequence.

Fri 6:30 - 8:30 pm, All Levels $35
The Power of Intention: At the very heart of Anusara Yoga is the aim of the Heart, also referred to as our Intention. By clarifying our own aim and aligning ourselves with the HeartŐs intention we gain deeper access to our own power and the power that guides our transformation. Enjoy hip opening, meditation and pranayama in this inward-focused class.

Sat 9:30 am - 12:00 pm, All Levels $40
The Power of Practice: The divinity that is our very essence exists no matter what is happening. However, our ability to access that power and live from that knowledge is dependent on our ongoing practice of the principles that inform the Path. Dive deeper into your practice by returning to the basic principle that inform Anusara Yoga and then apply them to increasingly challenging postures. Emphasis will be on standing postures and introductory arm balances.

Sat 2:00 - 4:30 pm, Intermed/Advanced $40
The Power of Relationship: Yoga exists as a series of relationships that when skillfully engaged, help the practitioner to directly experience the power of the Self. Explore the dynamic relationships required for deep hip opening and twists and inversions.

Sun 9:30 am - 12:00 pm, Intermed/Advanced $40
The Power of Responsibility and Accountability: Advanced practice is much more than deep backbends and putting your leg behind your head. Advanced practice is the practice of advancing our human expression beyond complaint and blame, entering into the heart of skillful response, and being accountable for living according to the truth of our heart. This class will emphasize deep heart-opening backbends.

Sun 2:00 - 4:30 pm, All Levels $40
The Power of Expression: The Power of the Heart that guides are journey is meant to be experienced directly by the yogi and also shared in the name of service, devotion and creative expression. This class will emphasize forward bends and hip opening and will conclude with pranayama, meditation, chanting and relaxation.

Any 3 sessions: $108. All 6 sessions: $210. Register now!
