Ashtanga Sadhana Chi Training
April 14-21, 2007 with Doug Swenson

 

Author of several books, with over 33 years of teaching experience, Doug's classes are always inspirational, educational and invigorating. In addition to Doug's wonderful, supportive style of teaching his keen sense of humor always sends the students home with a smile on their face and warmth in their heart. Don't miss this opportunity to study with one of the world's best instructors!

Doug teaches a balance between both hard and soft styles of yoga practice. The course provides a professional approach to Ashtanga Yoga and Sadhana Yoga Chi, (Doug's own new style). Sadhana Yoga Chi can be more challenging than Ashtanga Yoga, or gentle and easy...like a quite walk in the park. Students will enjoy a unique holistic approach to yoga training... this approach will greatly enhance the students progress, self-confidence and ability in all styles of yoga practice. This program is based on 4 levels of practice, to encompass beginner through advanced students. The different levels are very attainable and can be maintained throughout your life. The whole course is centered on recognizing each student as an individual. Beginners will receive simplistic, yet helpful and targeted instruction, while the advanced student will find it challenging and invigorating. Sadhana Yoga Chi is a complete system in itself, however students are encouraged to practice, and respect other styles of yoga practice in addition. Level: Open to all levels of students.
