30 DAY YOGA IMMERSION

The 30 day yoga immersion is about making a commitment to yourself to explore your yoga practice on all levels.  This is not a new year’s resolution or a physical challenge of any kind.  It is also not a step by step guide that will give you all of the answers.  It is an exploration of yourself and we hope that whatever you observe along the way will aid in your spiritual growth.


The yoga immersion starts on Wednesday, January 25 and goes through Friday, February 24.  There is no extra charge for the immersion, although all students participating must register at the studio and turn in a questionnaire before Jan 25th.  You will also be asked to turn in a weekly log of your practice time each week.  All participants are invited to attend a pot luck celebration on Friday, February 24 at 6pm to reflect upon their experiences and where to go from here.


Students participating in the immersion must commit to 30 days of practice.  A practice consists of one of the following AND DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DONE AT THE STUDIO: 

– 15 minutes meditation
– 30 minutes reading (suggested readings are available)
– 45 minutes asana
These are minimums and you are encouraged to incorporate all three practices into your immersion.  For those students that already have a consistent daily asana practice, it is suggested that you add meditation or reading to your asana practice.  It is easy to gravitate towards what comes natural and although there is nothing wrong with that, this is the time to challenge yourself and see what comes up?

We will be using the AYR blog to communicate as a group.  Our hope is that we can rely on each other for support and motivation and to share our personal experiences and reflections throughout the month.  If you have any personal comments or would like to ask a question to a specific teacher that you do not want to share with the group, you are welcome to write these on your weekly log.  The teacher will respond to your comment through email or in person if possible.

There is a suggested reading list available at the studio if you need help with choosing a book.  

We will also be offering the following group meditations if you are brand new to meditation or would like company when practicing meditation.  These classes are free to all.
