Yoga Sutras with Michael and Stephanie Johnson
July 26 - 28, 2013
In this course we will review The Yoga Sutra written by Sri Patanjali around 200AD. This classical text serves as the philosophical basis for all yoga traditions. In this short text, Sri Patanjali goes through the path to enlightenment in three different ways including: the five paths of meditation, the eight limbs and the four higher truths.
We will review all four chapters, integrate them into a modern yoga and meditation practice, and demonstrate how you can teach them in your yoga classes.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika: Light on the Union of the Sun and Moon: Integrating Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science
with Michael and Stephanie Johnson
October 11 - 13, 2013
500hr YA
All Levels Welcome
The Hatha Yoga Pradipika or Light on the Union of the Sun and Moon, is one of the most widely known and authoritative texts on the practice of yoga. It is an essential and valuable resource for anyone interested in practicing or teaching yoga. Written in the 1400's, it goes into much more detail about the practice of asanas, pranayamas, mudras, bandhas and meditations than the Yoga Sutra. Our approach is to compare the insights contained in the text with evidence based practices that are grounded in science, leaving the participants with a better understanding of yoga history as well as a tool box of effective techniques to practice and share.
