In the midst of uncertainty, how do we embrace change without losing grasp of that which is fundamental?

Our flexibility to adapt to change as well as our ability to remain steady amid the turbulence of ever fluctuating circumstances determines the degree to which we suffer or thrive throughout the cycles of life. In this yoga retreat, the exploration of how the balance between mobility and stability in our yoga practice will inform how to work in unison with the true conditions of the present moment. Developing discerning awareness of our individual qualities and tendencies in the practice of asana and pranayama can make us more receptive to the reality of this moment. Through our practice of yoga together we will learn to face the winds of today and tomorrow, and thrive!

Join Marla Apt, highlighted by Yoga Journal Magazine as one of 21 in the next generation of yoga teachers helping to “shape the future of yoga," at the Feathered Pipe Ranch for her fifth season! One of the fast-rising forces within the Iyengar Yoga community itself, her skillful practice and understanding of the fundamental principles of yogic philosophy are sure to bring you to a new level of mindful awareness about your body, mind and spirit, empowering you to flourish in an ever-changing world.
