Four-Part Anusara Immersion Training with Christy Burnette, Senior Certified Anusara Teacher

Study Anusara in a uniquely intimate environment in Sonoma, CA, with one of their Senior Certified Teachers over four weekends of immersing yourself in one of yoga's most loved styles. A personal consultation with Christy is included to foster a strong student/teacher relationship and to personalize your course studies. Registration will be limited to heighten the ongoing mentoring experience of the immersion training.

Christy--a master of alignment and humor!--will lead you into a deeper understanding of the Anusara Universal Principals of Alignment as well as yoga philosophy and anatomy. The depth of this style of study will refine your ability to tailor your yoga practice to your needs and desires, and provide the time and comfortable space to explore questions close to not only your body, but your heart.

Prerequisities: None! (Except a curious mind and open heart!)
Participation in all four sessions is highly recommended, but not required. Participation in individual sessions will be allowed on a space available basis.

Each weekend session meets on the Friday evening from 6-8 pm, Saturday 1-5 pm & Sunday 12-4 pm
