Yin & Yang, Lunar & Solar, HEAL & EMPOWER.

Another yoga retreat at The Farm at San Benito. We had an amazing group of participants. From our regular students at Bliss Yoga to Bikram Yoga practitioners to Ashtangis to curious beginners. I taught the Lunar class Saturday night which focused more on stretching rather than poses that required strength while Eunice greeted them early in the morning with a strong Solar Vinyasa class.

Giving them a little break :)

Anjaneyasana (Supported Crescent Lunge)

Eunice in Bhekasana - Frog pose is a simple yet very powerful pose to open and stretch the hips. It has been said that the more open the hips, the more open the heart! :)

Bianca in Ustrasana (Camel Pose)

Sunrise Meditation

Cathy, Hilina, Alf and Al in Virabhadrasana I (Warrior I)

Everyone in Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II)

Maulik in Salabasana (Locust Pose)

Katia, Bianca and I in Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) - BKS Iyengar says of Dhanurasana in Light on Yoga, "the hands are used like a bow-string to pull the head, trunk, and legs up and the posture resembles a bent bow."
