August 2009 Yoga and wilderness immersion
Standing Where Earth Meets Sky
Yoga asanas are rooted in a human expression of the dynamic world around us. Join us as we follow the trail back to yoga's source and to our own wild, sensually-awake origins.Through a combination of yoga, group time, ceremony and solitude in the natural world, Standing Where Earth Meets Sky offers a unique opportunity to both deepen and broaden one's yoga practice which, taken more fundamentally, is the practice of being present and alive for all that life brings us.
