"Find the Repose in the Pose”- Prashant Iyengar 

This quote from Prashant , the son of B.K.S. Iyengar, informs us of the importance of finding balance in our approach to the Asanas. It is based on the Patanjali Yoga Sutras 11.46- Sthira-Sukham Asanam -The posture should be firm and comfortable. B.K.S.  Iyengar yoga, our Guruji , states that we should evolve to a meditative state in each and every posture, not just a seated posture.

Janet will work with the concept of steadiness and receptivity allowing participants to experience a meditative state in the postures. The serene atmosphere at Highland Ranch offers an ideal setting for this internal approach to the Yoga Asanas.

The yoga retreat will consist of Janet’s daily asana and pranayama classes (12 total class hours). Participants limited to 20, so this will be an intimate retreat. Free time to relax and explore, delicious and nourishing vegetarian meals, and comfortable cabins with fireplaces and baths round out your stay.
