Special Pre-opening Retreat

Be the first guests at the "new" Yoga Thailand

December 10 - 17, 2008

With Paul

About the Retreat

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the first official program to be held at the new Yoga Thailand facility. With Paul leading the retreat, we will be offering a mix of Asana and Pranayama, as well as workshops on philosophy.

We will also give emphasis to practices that help promote confidence and cultivate independence, as students build their personal yoga practice and develop tools for continued growth. Another area we'll look at is how to best integrate it into your daily life amid family and a busy work schedule. You will leave the retreat with plenty to work on until you're ready to come back and advance to the next level.

Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for years, developing a personal "self-practice" is an effective way to deepen your experience with yoga. All levels of students are encouraged to participate. (All participants will enjoy private rooms at special pre-opening rates.)

About the Teacher

Committed to living a healthy and positive life, Paul is a dedicated student of yoga and meditative practices. His primary teacher is O.P. Tiwari, with whom he has deepened his inner practices. He is one of only three senior students of Tiwari who has taken him deep with the Pranayama and Meditative practices.

Paul has studied extensively with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath in the Ashtanga yoga system, and is one of only a few in the world to be certified by Sri Jois. Paul's committed asana practice has informed him of many of the internal keys to practice, which he loves to share when teaching.

Paul is the happy father of two lovely boys. Together with his wife, he founded Yoga Thailand. For more, please see his full bio.
