Harvard Yoga Retreat: Wintersession 2012

So excited to be leading Harvard’s Yoga Retreat Week this Wintersession. Retreat will run during Wintersession January 16 – 20, 2011. Currently over 170 students and staff have applied for a spot!

Sessions run:

  • Monday through Friday      9 – 10:30 am
  • Monday & Wednesday       4 – 5:30 pm
  • Tuesday & Thursday           7:30 – 9 pm

Programming will include daily yoga classes including mornings, afternoon, and evenings. Yoga classes will vary in style to allow students to experience different kinds of yoga. Classes will vary from athletic, sweaty vinyasa to classes focused on stretching to more meditative, relaxing, restorative styles of yoga. Students will be able to attend any or all the classes of their choosing.

HYR during wintersession week will provide regular, progressive, professional yoga instruction to the Harvard community. We seek to make the practice of yoga accessible, relevant, and fun. HYR will be accessible to all levels–from the curious who have never tried yoga to those who have been practicing for years.

Assisting Jillian Pransky at Kripalu

I am honored to be assisting Jillian Pransky at Kripalu the first weekend in January for the second time. With a mix of slow flow vinyasa, restorative yoga, and deep relaxation Jillian weaves in meditation, mindfulness, nature, and intention setting for the new year. It’s really a lovely way to start the year, so if you are looking for last minute plans, please join us!

UPDATE (08/15/2011)
Hello friends! I have returned from summer in Spain and Italy! After winning a food research prize, I was invited by Harvard and Catalan chefs on a restaurant tour in Catalonia. Barcelona is one of my favorite cities and I am truly grateful to have hung around in the culinary world. I was also lucky to study with some amazing yoga teachers and even got to play around with some Acroyogis in Barcelona and Italy. Food science plus yoga: amazing!

I am putting together my fall teaching schedule and will be updating here as things finalize. Thank you to Sarah Baumert who has been subbing my classes at Karma Yoga Studio. To find out about my fall schedule first get on my email list. I hope to see many of you on the mat soon. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

p.s. see above for classes I am subbing at the end of August and into the Fall.
