Spring Yoga & Ayurveda Camp
with Aiyana Athenian
Monday-Friday May 20-24, 7-8:30 am daily
Soul Moves, Rockland, Maine
Join us for a 5-day yoga camp inspired by the sublime healing system of Ayurveda. Ayurveda, the natural healing system of India, looks to the five elements (ether, air, fire, water and space) as a foundation for experiencing balance both in the natural world and within our beings. The doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) are the 3 bodily humors that make up one's mind/body constitution. This camp includes traditional Hatha Vinyasa (flow) classes and will vary from gentle to moderate intensity depending on the elements being explored in each specific class. Additional practices such as pranayama (breathing exercises,) mantra/kirtan (chanting,) and meditation will be included on certain days. Learn how to choose a yoga practice that fits your individual body's needs, as well as the time of year. For example, some days certain body types need grounding, warming, relaxing flows, while others benefit more from precision, mental focus and cooling routines and still others are best served by invigorating, uplifting, dynamic sequences. Come and explore them all and see what you resonate with on different days while learning more about making your yoga practice truly therapeutic for your body, mind and spirit!
Level: Some previous yoga experience recommended but not required.
Suggested Donation: $55-75. $25 deposit due with registration.
Registration: Please register by May 17. Attendance for the entire camp is strongly encouraged, but contact me for options if you cannot make all the days.
