"Six Days on Freedom:
Teaching Yoga as Transformation & The Journey of Awakening"
A Life-Changing, Advanced Training Retreat for Teachers & Dedicated Practitioners

Monday, July 21 - Saturday 26, 2003
Olympia, Washington

BEYOND ASANA...
This event is a focused training intensive for teachers and dedicated practitioners wanting to deepen their knowledge of yoga sadhana. Our aim is to lessen the emphasis on asana by creating a forum where teachers can learn to infuse the transformational spirit of yoga into their instruction vernacular -- a unique concept in yoga teacher training.

Participants will be taken well beyond the study of asana, exploring yoga as a complete science, or technology of self-mastery, inner-awakening, and personal freedom. During 6 days of asana practice, lecture, Q&A, and focused workshops and discussions, participants will be invited to examine the intention they bring to their teaching and practice of asana, while being offered the opportunity to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga as a technology of personal alchemy and liberation.
