Yoga is an important aspect to Anamaya’s philosophy and have a Spring Yoga Retreat scheduled from April 10 – 17, 2010. This retreat will concentrate on dedicating the practice of yoga to spring and shri.
The popular Hindi symbol “Shri” has many meanings including: allure, beauty, radiance, flourish, light and loveliness. We are all attracted to beautiful things which signifies that we are united on many levels to each other and to nature. Shri is the beauty in life in its many forms and spring is a perfect time to glorify that beauty. Anamaya’s Spring Yoga Retreat is a perfect way to end a long cold winter.
The yoga retreat classes will be run by Anusara Inspired yoga instructor Daniella Cotreau CMT, RYT, BA. Cotreau’s style of yoga was founded by John Friend and is a type of the hatha form of yoga. The “Universal Principles of Alignment” and opening the heart are key aspects to this yoga practice. In class Cotreau will work along side her students giving detailed descriptions, helpful demonstrations, and clear verbal prompts.
