Gravity & Grace: the Power of Surrender & Intuitive Response

Weekend Yoga Retreat                 Dates: TBA

Esalen. The word itself summons up tantalizing visions of adventure, of unexplored frontiers, of human possibilities yet to be realized. There is the wonder of the place itself, 120 acres of fertile land carved out between mountain and ocean, blessed by a cascading canyon stream and hot mineral springs gushing out of a seaside cliff.

Whether for the first time or a welcoming return visit, enjoy 5 days of magical music and yoga with Peter, Moose and Johnee. The yoga program will include gravity-assisted poses, some passive and some dynamic, coupled with a precise attention towards the sensations of breath and the effect of gravity, to awaken the awareness necessary for discriminating imbalances and for making subtle corrections to one’s method of practice. With consistency, this technique holds the power to overcome deeply held patterns of contraction and imbalance in the major joints of the body, often the result of inactivity, previous trauma, or overdoing repetitive movements. The practice is applicable to any style of yoga, and suitable for all levels, including beginners. Please bring a yoga mat.

Movement classes will be accompanied with live acoustical music. Please visit www.petersterios.com for recommended articles. Please bring a yoga mat.
