Upcoming Workshop Nov 26th!!!

This is my favorite workshop to guide!

Starting with a short history of the grandfather of modern yoga, Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, and a few of his students who developed the most popular styles of yoga worldwide. Including my teacher Srivatsa Ramaswami, the guru of Vinyasa Krama.

Then we dig into all 8 limbs of yoga!

1. Yamas = Moral disciplines
2. Niyamas = Positive duties
3. Asanas = Postures
4. Pranayama = Life force extention
5. Pratyahara = Sense withdrawal
6. Dharana = Focused concentration
7. Dhyana = Meditative absorption
8. Samadhi = Bliss

Contact me if you any questions!

See you there on Nov 26th!

From poses and breath to meditation and self reflection, Kevin will lay the foundation of a strong and full Yoga practice.

A short story about Mahatma-ji Ghandi -

A while back, he started to lead a march, a protest against the British. After a few days, he realized it was going to have some bad consequences, so he stopped the march. His lieutenants came to him and said “Mahatma-ji, you can’t do this, people have left their jobs, they're taking great risk, they’re here standing behind you, you can’t stop the march now.”
He said “my understanding of truth changes from day to day, and my commitment is to truth, not consistency. I’m sorry if that upsets you."
A lot of us have built our security on consistency of being who we thought we were, and projecting it outward.
Is it possible that you at your stage of life, can allow for a discontinuity, to allow a shift of consciousness, into another way of being, or is your commitment to consistency greater than your commitment to truth?

Chair yoga inversion.
When properly setup (could use blankets under shoulders for comfort) this is a great alternative to muscling through a headstand practice 😉
