So we're getting down to the final plans and schedule for the fall intensive. We will have four teachers an teaching on a general theme of connection, stability and power. We will explore the roots of yoga from one of India's oldest traditions. How those traditions informed both Chinese and Japanese cultivation and martial arts. We will also be demonstrating power in the forms from traditional chi gongs, breath training, tendon changing to dantian development and use. I will also be demonstrating power in independent movement both standing and on the ground and why so many traditional martial arts that try to make a "connection" with an opponent....fail to deliver in an educated, MMA type environment ( no we will not be fighting, we will be training movement and power. We will be introducing "Yoga Origins" Yoga for Warriors".... our systematic approach for:

• Connection
• Loosening
• Acceleration

Teachers: Dan Harden Bernie Langon Paul Caird Jane Farrimond Zoe Harden
