evolving towards simplicity
A Weekend Intensive with Donna Farhi, June 2025
Sometimes the simplest yoga practices can be the most potent. Small and gentle movements, when applied with sensitivity can reap powerful changes, restoring elasticity, balance and ease. In this special intensive, Donna invites you to join her in a shared inquiry to deepen your connection with core asana, breathing, and meditative practices. These practices can form the bedrock for a sustainable (and enjoyable) yoga practice whatever your age.
The practice of yoga asana (postures) can be distilled into “seed” forms that constitute an alphabet that we can use for our own purpose and to achieve our personal goals. Through subtle adaption, variations, gradation, and creative sequencing, these simple forms can be applied in almost infinite application. Through sensing and feeling what is needed, we can learn to move into a practice by listening to what the body is already self-suggesting.
Each day of this intensive will be divided into a morning and afternoon session. We’ll explore a wide variety of practices, from active practices that build strength and vitality to more passive practices that restore calm and relaxation. Yoga practitioners of all levels of experience are welcome to attend.
