Full Day Intensives are a great opportunity to deepen your practice and experience in-depth study with our excellent teachers.

	JIMMY BARKAN Devas, Brahma Namaskar – A Salute to Gods and Goddesses CODE: INJB Bring yourself in tune with a universal flow of energy so we become open vessels to develop whatever level is needed and to attract all blessings. Incorporate the higher, spiritual aspects of yoga into the physical dynamics of the postures, helping to awaken the Shakti energy through five specific vinyasas. Includes asana, pranayama, and meditation.
	SEAN JOHNSON Bhakti PlayShop: A Day Long Retreat CODE: INSJ This day long retreat is designed for yogis who love the sensuality of physical asana practice and who also have a desire to dive into the passionate depths of bhakti yoga-- the devotional yoga of the heart. In this day-long immersion, we will enter the depths of bhakti yoga through story, poems, kirtan singing, music, dance, ritual, asana, creative expression, and other sweet surprises. We will also explore ways of integrating bhakti yoga into a creative vinyasa asana practice that not only stretches and strengthens our bodies, but enlivens our hearts. Through this process, our practice is transformed into a creative and generous offering to the Universe. In addition to practicing vinyasa yoga, we will delve deeply into one of the most powerful of bhakti yoga practices-- kirtan, the singing of simple, energy-based sounds called mantras. The mantras polish away the clutter in our heads and melt the numbness in our hearts, so we feel clear, awake, and brilliantly alive. Kirtan and portions of the asana practice will be accompanied by the live soundtrack of Sean’s posse of New Orleans groove masters The Wild Lotus Band who will spice up the day with their mystic sounds.
	GAIL MONDRY Vinyasa Flow Immersion - One Breath, One Movement CODE: INGM The beauty of yoga is that like minded people can come together no matter how long they have been practicing and move forward on their own path. Developing a flow that makes sense physically, emotionally and even spiritually, requires a deeper understanding of the body’s mechanics and the minds resistance to change. Learn how to develop an environment that allows each student to flow towards their potential while supported by the group’s positive energy in the room. In the morning we will actively flow in a 75 minute vinyasa practice. Directly after, we will take notes and record the flow. The afternoon will be a workshop/practice specifically focusing on the flow of the morning and its different challenges. A wonderful workshop for students and/or teachers to accelerate their understanding of one breath one movement. Come immerse yourself in your vinyasa.
