Vinyasa Krama refers to the deliberate placement of the body (nyasa),
through a sequential, step by step process (krama), grounded in
skillful means. This intermediate level course will teach a variety
of vinyasas designed to help experienced students become stable
and comfortable in the important primary seed asanas, their variations,
and abstractions. The Monday sessions are 2 hours and will include
work with kriya and preparatory pranayama. The Tuesday sessions
are 1 1/2 hours and will focus primarily on the asana / vinyasa.
One or both sessions may be attended.
Some of the topics to be covered include:
- Sessions will alternate between Free-style practice, and work
with the Shadow Yoga forms as preludes to the vinyasas.
- Vinyasas based in Karana (Causal action; synthesis of the limbs)
will be worked with as preparation for the skillful practice of
the primary seed asanas.
- Specific vinyasas to help prepare for the most important asanas
for building the agni will also be taught.
- Principles of sequencing will be discussed and learned through
active practice.
Drop-in Policy: Sessions will build
upon each other, so taking the full course is recommended, however,
for those who cannot, drop-in is $25 for Monday and $20 for Tuesday.

Vinyasa Krama refers to the deliberate placement of the body (nyasa),
through a sequential, step by step process (krama), grounded in
skillful means. This Foundations level course will teach a variety
of vinyasas to open and strengthen all regions of the body (shoulder
girdle, arms, waist, hips, feet & legs, etc), with each class
having a specific focus.
Additional emphasis will be on the establishment of good rhythmic
activity in order to strengthen the vital breath and improve concentration
ability - both of which are necessary if one is to progress in the
practice of asana.
Who can attend: This course is recommended
for all students with some experience in the Foundations Series
and/or the Shadow Yoga Prelude forms, or a grounding in the basics
of practice.
Drop-in policy: Sessions will build
upon each other, so taking the full course is recommended, however,
for those who cannot, single sessions may be attended at the drop-in
rate of $20/class.

Teacher: Mark Horner
Traditionally yoga asanas were taught through an individualized
approach adjusted to the unique needs of each student. This eliminates
unproductive activity by focusing the student on asanas that will
most quickly remove their obstructions. To support this, the teacher
provides one-to-one guidance and hands on adjustments through the
marma system. Due to this, all levels of students will progress
faster in an individualized course rather than in a group class.
Numbers will be limited and start times staggered (please download
the flyer for the start times). Mark will contact each student prior
to the first class to assign their asana(s). As progress is made,
each student’s practice will be evolved accordingly. Allow
about 1 to 1 1/2 hours for your session. Space is limited &
past courses have filled. Please register early to assure your spot..
Priority is given to those who register first and take multiple
sessions.
Who can attend: To qualify for these
courses knowledge of one of the Shadow Yoga preludes, or any of
the Beginners Series is required.
Make-up Policy: Any missed classes
may be made up during the current session only on Tues, Thurs,
or Friday. Check with Mark as to the best start time for the make-up.

From this course participants will gain an experiential understanding
of the myofascial meridians and how they relate to Asana practice
as well as the seeing and understanding of bodies. Dedicated students,
teachers, and aspiring teachers will benefit by coming to a clearer
understanding of their own patterns of strain and restriction while
learning ways to work with them in asana practice. This will aid
in the process of learning to see such patterns in another.
Using the “Anatomy Trains” model, developed by bodyworker
and anatomist Thomas Myers, we will explore the 8 different lines,
or myofascial meridians.
Each class will begin with a discussion, including slides of the
myofascial line to be explored. The information will be brought
alive through asana practice (1.75 to 2 hours).
For Whom: This course is designed for
yoga teachers, aspiring teachers, and dedicated students. It is
strongly recommended for all students in Mark’s 2008-2009
AS/TT program. All participants should have good facility with uddiyana
bandha and the primary asanas
Drop-in policy: It is recommended that
the entire course be taken, however, for those who cannot, drop-in
is available at $30/class

Teacher: Mark Horner
A powerful way to improve the depth and quality of your yoga practice
is with a period of concentrated daily study. This 5 day intensive
will combine special focus classes with individualized asana sessions.
Each special focus class will begin with a talk explaining a key
characteristic of a high quality yoga practice. This will be followed
by a guided practice using one of the three Shadow Yoga Prelude
forms. The Individualized Asana sessions will give students an opportunity
to personally explore the material presented in the focus classes,
while receiving hands-on help with asanas assigned for their unique
needs. Student are strongly encouraged to take the entire course,
however, if this is not possible, single sessions may be attended.
The topics to be covered include:
- “Finding your Bones” (Tuesday 6:30-8:30am):
Learn to transmit the force of gravity through your bones
and move from a place of balance. This is the key to ease and
efficiency - a necessary precondition to building inner power.
- ”The inner Alchemy of Practice” (Wednesday
6:30-8:30am): how to develop more cohesion,
synergy, and power in your practice through the integration of
form, mind, & energy.
- “The Healing Power of Rhythm” (Thursday
6:30-8:30am): rhythmic activity as the key
to controlling the mind and breath. Learn how to draw forth organic
rhythm with deliberateness and skill.
- “Harvesting the Fruit” (Saturday 7:30-9:30am):
If practice does not move us toward greater stillness and presence,
then the fruit is not being harvested. Learn how to make this
a priority and not settle for anything less.
PLEASE NOTE:
- The prices listed on the registration form for single sessions
REQUIRE PRE-REGISTRATION BY AUGUST 1.
- Cost for drop-in for the Special Focus classes is $28 at the
door.
- Individualized Asana classes require pre-registration - no drop-ins.
