Funky Door Yoga, Berkeley, California 

Host: Lynn Whitlow, USA Yoga Board Member


COMPETITION SCHEDULE

Friday, February 23

5 - 6 pm Hot Yoga with a TWIST 

This class is unique in that Jeff Renfro has a parallel practice of Iyengar and Bikram for over 30 years. Jeff is well known in the Bikram community and perhaps even more so in the Iyengar community. He served on the board of directors of the Iyengar Institute of San Francisco, has traveled to India to study with the Iyengar family, and has studied under the top Iyengar teachers in the world for decades. Jeff owns and operates several well known yoga studios in the Bay Area.

This class is recommended for practitioners with an existing yoga practice. This class will be designed to make you work in a way you have never worked before and not thought possible. It is challenging. This class is interactive as questions are encouraged, Jeff is extremely knowledgeable about specific injuries and conditions, and is known for his meticulous detailed alignment-based instruction. 

Funky Door invites visiting competitors to join this class, $15.

7-8:30 pm - $50 Meditation Class with Paul Moore RYT 500 (open to all). Register for this class here online or in person.

Whether you are a Yoga Sport athlete looking for techniques to settle yourself before going on stage or just crave some deep relaxation skills, this is your workshop! 

Pranayama is the expansion of the life force. This class is an opportunity to directly observe the finer motions that are going on inside the body, mind and spirit. At the conclusion of the class, a “Pranayama homework” assignment will be given.  Beyond helping you prepare for your championship demonstration, it can significantly deepen your yoga practice.

We begin this Pranayama class by simply observing our breathing and then joining the breath with the universal spiritual sound “Om.” Next, guidance is given to the sitting posture, making it steady, stable and comfortable. 

With the chest, neck and head in alignment, we prepare the three primary energy channels with cleansing practices. Then we focus on the internal, controlling the motion of the lungs, directing our awareness to all aspects of the breath.  In this balanced state of awareness and energy, we examine the vibrations with the lower, middle and upper regions of the body.

Finally, we enter into a deep state of relaxation with awareness, observing the five layers of being: body, energy, mental, spiritual and bliss.
