methods and practices common to Hatha Yoga and the self-cultivating arts
(martial and dance). Three fixed practice forms (preludes) are utilized for

Building the Inner Power: A true yoga
practice should build a surplus of free
energy and attention which is necessary in
order to actualize our inner growth and outer
life potential. This intensive will help
students understand and become skillful in
the yogic processes and practices which
bring about this increase in usable energy.
Saturday sessions will emphasize the
dynamic aspect of practice, while Thursday
will emphasize the more static and passive
side of practice - Both are important, and it is
through their skillful integration that
balance, ease, and more rapid progress
comes.
