The Shambala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes is offering an ashtanga yoga and meditation retreat, August 31 - Sept. 2, led by Katharine Kaufman. This description comes from Shambala’s website:
In this weekend retreat, we will explore the heart of Ashtanga Yoga, which includes alignment, breath and meditation, practicing the classical and dynamic flowing sequence of postures based on the inner form. We will also experiment with partner work and restorative practice, honing awareness and coming to a greater understanding of our own being. Students at all levels of practice welcome.
Katharine Kaufman, MFA, teaches Ashtanga Yoga at The Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado. She has studied in Mysore, South India, with Pattabhi Jois and Dr. Shankaranarayana Jois. Her principle teacher is Richard Freeman. Originally trained as a dancer, Katharine taught, choreographed and performed nationally for 20 years. Her background is steeped in poetry, women’s art, zazen and good humor. She also teaches contemplative dance at Naropa University.
