June 16th / Saturday 2:30pm to 5pm / Lila Donnolo
You don’t have to be a yoga master to enjoy this big practice! Maha begins with chanting, then pranayama (breath control), a mudra (posture for the hands), and rocks out with a good sweaty asana series including forward bends, back- bends, twists, arm balances, and inversions. The series of postures will prepare us to sit in meditation (which they were originally designed to do) and then wind down with a bit of yin yoga – to stretch the connective tissue – and restorative – to cultivate surrender. The Maha practice concludes with a lullaby…or two!
This workshop costs $40 or $30 when you register before June 10th.
About Lila Donnolo
Lila's name in Sanskrit means "divine play", and this is how she approaches her teaching! She is a 200-hr Yoga Works-trained instructor, a certified AcroYoga teacher (by Jason Nemer & Jenny Sauer-Klein), and has been teaching yoga since 2006. She holds a BFA in Drama from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. After a 10,000 mile cross-country road trip/teaching tour in the summer of 2008, she moved from New York City to Portland, learned to dance Argentine tango and taught Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative, and AcroYoga at YB. She spent the past year as a nomadic instructor, and has now returned home to live in her birth city of Brooklyn. At various times you can find her cooking, dancing, chanting, collage-ing, writing, and tooling around on a tiny silver folding bicycle wearing a fancy dress. Lila will have some local PDX availability for a couple of days following the workshops. For private lessons and Thai Yoga sessions, email: divineplayyoga@gmail.com.
