“Vini” means to apply the ….tools....of yoga appropriately, in every body. (Asana, pranayama, Chant and Meditation). The goal is to promote healthy living! We recognize the differences in people, and even in the same person, from day to day, and year to year as we are all in different stages of life, and ever changing! This means that it is necessary to re- evaluate the relevance of our current yoga practice always, and adapt it to our most immediate life situa- tion. Cost? $60 per day or $170 for the weekend. $50 non-refundable deposit will hold your spot, please pre-register by Jan 20.
