Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I have been practicing for the last 7 years and have been involved in teaching the first series to friends and family over the last 3 years. Although Ashtanga is my personal practice, I have been teaching a vinyasa flow class at a resort over the last few years. Recently, I have been involved with a local Yoga studio here in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The owner and I are interested in putting together an intro. to Ashtanga class on the schedule. A little tid bit about our clientele................... Hilton Head is a tourist driven golf and beach community that is still very new to Yoga. It is the perfect environment for a yoga retreat, given the Island romantic quality and all the natural activities throughout the year, but the classes are quite limited (mostly health clubs that offer class ... not instruction). The studio has been open a year and (based on prior classes) we have found that most of the clientele wants to stay away from any of the spiritual aspects involved in Yoga. We have pure intentions regarding the ashtanga practice and would love to grow into a full first series class. This will be the studios fist attempt at bringing some spiritual instruction into the physical postures. Meditation and some yoga lifestyle classes have been offered in the past, but the attendance has been non-existent. Any advice or guidance would be well appreciated. Namaskar, Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
