Flight School

Flight School
Raghunath is 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.

Strong Foundations: Get Your Body Back

Strong Foundations

Access the tools that will amplify your progress toward peak pose mastery. Re-awaken your primordial physical intelligence, which seeks to realign with it's authentic purpose through asana: to illuminate the sacred geometry of the physical body, so that prana, divine energy, can flow through the channels of your consciously created vessel in this endurance and strength building workshop. In this workshop we will, chant, refine breath work and the purpose of prana in asana - the why, fundamentals, breakdown and build-up toward power poses with a comprehensive understanding of the subtle dynamics of the asana, and explore the fundamental building blocks to learn, teach toward mastery - how to build your/their practice with integrity.
