Two Yoga Workshops with Kathy Curran Saturday, June 17 Back Bending with Props 9-noon For students with basic yoga experience If you’ve ever wanted to deeply explore this important aspect of practice but have hesitated because of a physical limitation this workshop is for you. The props give us support so we can perfect alignment as well as regain lost strength and flexibility. Back bends are nature’s mood elevators and some of the most important poses for aging gracefully. We will spend time warming up with poses that support the practice and have ample time to cool down and relax deeply. Bring a sack lunch if you want to picnic in between the workshops! Restorative Poses 2-5pm Open to all Levels This workshop will focus on the yoga positions that encourage relaxation at the deepest level. It is perfect for those who need to reduce stress, promote a healthy immune system and restore lost vitality. Location: These workshops will be held at The 4 Corners Yoga Studio. Cost: Each workshop: $40. Both workshops: $70. Patricia Walden returns for her annual workshop at Blue Lake Ranch's Event Barn in Hesperus July 16-21, 2017
PATRICIA WALDEN is a uniquely inspiring teacher who is renowned for her keen observation, the dynamic depth of her teaching, and the elegant refinement of her practice. She is one of only two North Americans who hold a senior advanced certificate in the Iyengar method. Patricia came to yoga in her early 20s, as a spiritual calling. In 1976 She became B.K.S. Iyengar’s student and traveled to India to study with him every year until his death in 2014. Under Guruji’s guidance, she has developed her own methodical and inspirational approach to practice and teaching. Patricia has been a prominent figure in the evolution of yoga in the United States. THE RIDGEWOOD EVENT CENTER located fifteen miles from Durango and one mile from the Blue Lake Ranch Bed & Breakfast, is a beautiful structure with a spectacular view of the La Plata Mountains. The barn, with its southern yellow pine floors, is an ideal place to practice Yoga. Surrounded by large cottonwood trees, the space is filled with plenty of natural, soft, filtered light that streams through the barn's many large windows. Our meals will be served on the large portal that surrounds the building. The portal, supported by beams that were hand carved in Mexico, opens up to the fields, forest and river. BLUE LAKE RANCH evolved from a simple 1910 homestead to a luxurious European style Country Estate. From the elegantly appointed Main Inn to the secluded garden cottages there are unsurpassed views of Blue Lake, the gardens and the 13,000 ft. La Plata Mountains. Accommodations at the ranch include a full, daily breakfast and afternoon tea.
