FORREST YOGA INTENSIVE
An All-Levels Workshop with
Lynne Begier
Sunday, February 5, 2006. 2:00 to 5:00

An all-levels workshop Note: Not appropriate for women who are pregnant or those with wrist and shoulder injuries

Inversions and arm balancing poses are challenging, exciting, rejuvenating for the mind and body and fun. They encourage the circulation of blood and energy in the body and stimulate the endocrine and immune systems. Both arm-balancing poses and inversions develop mental and physical strength and flexibility, and challenge you to move courageously past your perceived limitations. This work of facing fears and moving past old barriers can have a significant impact in your daily life.

Inversions and arm balancing asanas also require core strength, spaciousness in the body, and an interest in playing with gravity. In this workshop you will learn the fundamentals of lift-off, moving through the air with grace, and landing with precision and lightness. Lynne will guide you through some of the basic asanas in Forrest Yoga that build core awareness, strength, and space. She will also teach advanced techniques for you to explore the edges of your practice with when doing these asanas. Gravity surfing is fun and exceptionally amazing.



Cost: $35 for current Yoga Now students, $45 for others. Please register for this workshop. Space is limited. Dropins welcome on a first-come, first-served basis, space permittin

About Lynne Begier
Lynne was first introduced to yoga about 10 years ago on the advice of her psychiatrist to help her recovery from an eating disorder and major depression. It was not until some years later when she started to visit the Kripalu Center in Lenox, MA that her interest began to blossom much deeper. After completing her initial training at Kripalu, Lynne began to thirst for knowledge about other styles of yoga and has explored Bikram, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Jivamukti and Forrest Yoga. She has studied with Ana Forrest since 2002 and has completed her intensive teacher training in addition to attending workshops with Ana on a regular basis. She is committed to teaching yoga as a healing path and using yoga to access areas of the body that have shut down due to physical or emotional injury. Lynne is the owner and director of Back Bay Yoga.
