| Anusara yoga practice with Bo Srey: Foundations of Grace |
| Preparing the ground of being for the Presence within. |
| During this transformational week, Bo will begin the day by leading us through a dynamic and intelligent practice of Anusara yoga. Our intention, as always, will be to align with our pulsating, joyful Presence within. Starting with this lofty intention, we descend into our own radiant form to nurture the experience. Embodied as us, the Truth can be experienced from moment to ever-expanding moment. Each practice creates new pathways of awareness that deepen the experience of full Presence, the experience of Grace. In each practice session, we will review the Universal Principles of Alignment™ and prepare the ground for the sessions to follow. |

| Antaramuktasana: the Inner Face of Yoga with Harshada Wagner |
| Practical yoga philosophy, samadhi meditation, and inner healing intensive |
| This intensive will explore basic Yoga philosophy and the inner benefits of Yoga practice.

Students will learn some of the basic tenets of Yoga philosophy and have a chance to explore the ideas in their own life and practice. Harshada will also teach meditation methods which allow for the direct experience of the scriptural truths. This module will provide a deep opening into the Heart for all levels of students.

| Experiential Anusara Anatomy Intensive with Ellen Mohini Saltonstall |
| The majesty and intricacy of the human body in movement |
| In this anatomy intensive we will be exploring the majesty and intricacy of the human body in movement, and in particular, what happens inside the key joints as we practice yoga. We will study each area of the body (spine, hips, shoulders, arms, legs) in very practical, interactive and engaging ways, with attention to muscles, bones, nerves and connective tissue. For students of Anusara yoga, The Universal Principles of Alignment™ will have increased power and clarity when we see how they work anatomically. If you’ve found the anatomy to be a dry subject, full of facts to memorize, don’t worry - Ellen’s enthusiasm and creative ways of conveying the information will inspire and enlighten you to a new understanding of your yoga practice from the inside out. |

| Bo Srey |
|
|
| Bo Srey is a Certified Anusara™ yoga teacher (www.spandananda.com). Born in New York City to Cambodian parents, he moved to Singapore in 2005. Having practiced yoga and meditation since 1996, Bo brings a joyful and caring spirit to the yoga practice. |
|
 |
| |
|
| As an undergraduate at the University of Rochester, Bo studied with renowned Indian philosophy scholar, Douglas Brooks. Bo began the practice of hatha yoga because of a life-long study of martial arts and a deep interest in the mystical tradition of the East. His first hatha yoga teacher was Rudrani Farbman. Her wisdom permeated every word she spoke. Bo is truly indebted to her for helping him experience hatha yoga from the inside out. |
|
| |
|
|
| While teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area, Bo also studied with Tony Briggs, a senior Iyengar Yoga teacher with whom he completed a 1-year Teacher Training apprenticeship. During that time, he deepened his studies with his main teacher, Anusara Founder, John Friend. Bo has studied hundreds of hours with John Friend throughout the United States, Europe, China, Japan and Taiwan. These studies include two level-1 Teacher Trainings, a level-2 Teacher Training, Master Immersion, therapy trainings and countless weekend workshops on yoga and philosophy. In 2008, Bo followed John Friend on his Light The Sky tour. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Anusara yoga is a style of hatha yoga that reminds students of their true essence, heals the body with powerful and sound biomechanical principles and unifies outer strength with inner joy. Bo's classes reflect the eternal dance of opposite forces: shiva-shakti, yin-yang, concealment-revelation. His classes are challenging, yet fun and light. While teaching precise principles of alignment, Bo constantly encourages students to access their wisdom center, letting the practice reveal each student's joyful nature. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| He has taught in major studios in San Francisco, Singapore and Thailand. In addition to public classes, Bo has taught Immersions and Teacher Trainings in Asia and the United States. He has also taught hatha yoga in many global teaching events with senior monks of his meditation tradition. As a disciple of a sadguru or true guru, Bo sincerely seeks to align with the energy of his teacher and her lineage in his teaching. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Bo and his wife Shirley, an Anusara-Inspired yoga teacher, currently live in Singapore. They teach workshops, retreats and teacher trainings throughout the world. |
