Workshops with Betsy
Deepen Your Practice and
Strengthen Your Spiritual Muscles
Standing Series: Strength and Flexibility
Saturday, June 7, 1:00 to 3:15 p.m.
The standing poses are the starting point in the practice
of Yoga asana because they bring firmness and stability and
teach principles of correct movement. In this workshop
we will learn how to develop an awareness of alignment essential
for sitting, standing and walking. Standing postures
are invigorating and refreshing and also stimulate digestion
and improve circulation,
We will explore ways to develop precision and learn ways to
work carefully and stay relaxed and composed even while working
with effort in the postures. Beginning with some gentle
warm-ups we will practice a variety of the standing postures
and end with a cool-down and relaxation. Beginning and
ongoing students are encouraged to attend.
Fee:
$30

Summer Yoga Intensive with William
Deepen and Stregthen Your Practice
with Twice Daily Classes
Integrating Meditation and Asana
Sunday, August 23 to Friday, August
28
This class will combine yoga asanas with Vipassana (mindfulness)
meditation practice.You will practice with the focus on bringing
meditative concentration to the asana practice. Mindfulness
(Vipassana) meditation is a simple and direct practice, the
moment-to-moment observation of the mind/body process through
calm and focused awareness. Learning to observe experiences
from a place of stillness enables one to relate to life with
less fear and clinging. Seeing life as a constantly changing
process, one begins to accept pleasure and pain, fear and
joy, and all aspects of life with increasing equanimity and
balance.This workshop is for students with at least one year
ofexperience and will include asana and dhyana (meditation)
in the Vipassana tradition. You may be a beginner to meditation
practice.
Instructor: William Prottengeier
Founder and director of the Minneapolis Yoga Workshop, William
is a certified Iyengar instructor and has been practicing
Yoga since 1975 and teaching Yoga since 1979. William studied
with Swami Veda Bharati (Pandit Usharbudh Arya) for 15 years.
His teaching flows from the Hatha Yoga tradition of B.K.S.
Iyengar, with Ramanand Patel as his primary teacher in the
U.S. His other major influences are the Vipassana and Advaita
Vedanta traditions. William’s teaching weaves these
traditions into the practice of asana. His teaching blends
and balances concentration and precision in asana practice
with mindfulness and compassion in daily living.
