The
Heart of Viniyoga with Mirka Kraftsow
October 23 - 25 at Yoga Yoga 360
 After
more than two decades of studying and teaching yoga, Mirka Kraftsow
has crafted her own unique approach to the yogic arts. Rather than simply
focusing on each area of practice as a separate entity, Mirka's philosophy
is comprehensive; all aspects of practice – physical, mental, psychological,
and spiritual – are addressed in each practice session. Mirka believes
this creates not only a balanced practice, but also a balanced life.
Mirka
is gifted with both the capacity and the passion to creatively communicate
and work in private consultation, both in person and on the telephone,
and her work has enriched the experience of students of many yoga modalities
all around the world. Mirka's own experience and intuition strongly
influence her teachings, as do tradition, creativity, innovation, and
evolution.
In
this weekend of events, Mirka will use her extensive background to integrate
body awareness and imagery with the Viniyoga principles.
