Summer at Heathen Hill Yoga provides the perfect setting to dedicate time to deepen your yoga practice. We will gather together for practice sessions that allow the time to explore the subtle aspects of practicing with "effortless effort." The morning classes will focus on finding that balance through active sequences that thoroughly delve into standing poses, forward and backward bendings and twists. Our late afternoon classes will expand on the theme from the perspective of restorative postures, inversions and pranayama (breath work). 

During your free time you can take a dip in the swimming hole, hike the labyrinth and/or trails, hot tub, read or nap in a hammock, play games, or meditate. All of our meals are nurturing, delicious and made-with-love with most ingredients picked from the huge organic garden at Heathen Hill.

This workshop is for seasoned practitioners who are dedicated to penetrating the surface of the rich practice of asana and pranayama. Please bring an open mind, a full heart and a learner’s inquisitiveness.
