Workshop clinics: Tips & Tricks of the Vinyasa-Style Practices
with Tania Jo Ingrahm
Saturdays: May 24, August 9, November 8, 2008 & February 14, 2009; 9:45 - 11:45 a.m.
This fun, quarterly series with senior teacher Tania Jo Ingrahm is for you if you've ever struggled with making your hop-throughs graceful,
understanding the mysterious bandhas or creating heat in your body by using the ujjayi breath.
Each fun-filled two-hour session will include activities that will help you reach deeper into the vinyasa-style practices with more understanding and knowledge of how to accomplish each aspect of breath, movement and flow. Although each session has a theme, you can bring any of your vinyasa questions and get them answered. The clinics will be tailored to assist each group with their specific needs.

Saturday, November 8, 2008: Floating, Hop-Backs and Hop-Throughs
