Upcoming at Purple Valley Retreat, Goa, India.

[Guest guest]

If you are thinking of India, perhaps consider a residential workshop

at Purple Valley Retreat. It's an easy hop from Bangalore, Mumbai and

other cities to Goa. All details are at http://www/yogagoa.com,

 

There is still time to book a place with Emil Wendel and Sue

Pendlebury on their unique two week `Spiritual Transformation through

Traditional Yogic Practices' workshop which starts on 21st January.

This is a closed retreat for a limited number of people with two

exceptionally gifted teachers. It is emotionally demanding but does

not require any great previous experience in any aspect of yoga, and

leads to greater self-knowledge and confidence with lots of good fun

and laughter along the way. Highly recommended. Details at:

Gabriella Pascoli, one of the founders of Purple Valley, is taking a

two week workshop from 18th February based on traditional ashtanga

techniques and systems. It is ideal for those who are looking for a

highly experienced teacher able to give unique individual attention,

and work with modifications where necessary. Detals at:

Ron Reid and Marla Meenakshi Joy are known as `the teachers' teachers'

and are offering two weeks of intensive practice work, with pranayama,

meditation and chanting. They come from Downward Dog in Canada, and

all levels except complete beginners are welcome. Details at:

There will be a two-week workshop for teachers with Doug Swenson

starting on 18th March. It is not pure ashtanga but based on Ashtanga

principles, with lots of vinyasa flow and a deeper holistic approach

than is achieved through plain ashtanga. You don't have to be a

teacher to take this workshop – it is ideal for anyone wanting to

deepen their practice and knowledge without deviating too far from the

traditional ashtanga system. Doug calls his yoga Sadhana Yoga Chi and

you can see more about it by going to http://www.dougswenson.net
