Yoga in Theory & Practice

With

Suddha Weixler

October 22, 23, 24th

We are so thrilled to have Suddha back at Ahh Yoga for a weekend workshop.   He has been coming to the studio for these workshops for years and they are always a fantastic experience.  This is a great way to deepen your practice and join with other yogis for a great weekend.

The cultivation of physical postures, breath work, and the refinement of the mind in its capacity to be directed toward a single object, transforms yoga into a spiritual practice. Concentration of the mind at will is the goal of Meditation and Yoga. The mind is seen as an instrument of Consciousness.  The asana practice will be based on slow, deep floor poses – witnessing the unfolding of different layers of sensation and resistance. As a complement we will work with dynamic, fl uid transitions and sequences. Brief Meditation sessions are included and we will investigate the theory of Yoga.

Suddha Weixler began studying yoga in 1978 on his fi rst visit to India. He spent eight years in a monastic environment. He was certifi ed in 1984 and is the Director of  the Chicago Yoga Center. Initiated into Raja Yoga and Meditation in 1982 by Swami Narayanananda, his training includes classical Hatha, the Iyengar method and Ashtanga Yoga with Pattabhi Jois in South India. He is a student of Srivatsa Ramaswami of Chennai, and has been introduced into the Vinyasa Krama method of Krishnamacharya. Suddha has been an Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago since 1989. Suddha’s teaching style is precise, attentive and integrating.

The workshop is appropriate for beginners as well as experienced yoga practitioners.
