The Feathered Pipe invites you to a Fiesta of Yoga at the fabulous Haramara Retreat Center on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Whether this is your first year on the guest list, or you have been coming to this yoga party for years, this will be a jubilant celebration of practice. Baxter and Mary keep coming back to the sublime surroundings of Haramara where both overt joyfulness and subtle contentment are discovered by simply being present in this human body. With Baxter's emphasis on practicing sincerely without being serious, and Mary';s warped English sense of humor, how could it not be a feast?
There will be focus on the more meditative aspects of the practice during this fiesta - to avoid the deadly yoga hangover -! and those who would like to come a day early (March 8) and experience some pre-retreat silence we are offering an additional restorative/mediation pre-workshop day.
Baxter Bell, MD teaches 'No-Brand Yoga' (copyrighted 1992) this comes in a brown bottle but it works more effectively than the more standard brands. Baxter is on the faculty of several teacher training programs around the country and offers classes and workshops nationally and internationally. He is featured in Yoga Journal's DVD Yoga for Stress, and writes for several health magazines. His web site is www.bellyoga.info
Mary Paffard teaches 'Pirate Yoga' (copyrighted 1492) which encourages practitioners to steal shamelessly like Robin Hood from everywhere and sail off into the high seas of enlightened practice. Mary has been a student of yoga for 34 years and teaches nationally and internationally. She is Director of Teacher Training at Yoga Mendocino, California. Vipassana is at the core of her asana study and has lead to the discovery of the internal oceans of the body through breath, belly, chakra and silence. For more information, see www.maryyoga.com
