TUESDAY, JUNE 29: BAPTISTE POWER VINYASA MASTER CLASS & DISCUSSION WITH PHILIP URSO
GETTING INTO ‘THE ZONE’ OF PEAK PERFORMANCE / 5-9:30 p.m. / $60
• 5-7 p.m. Bootcamp-style Baptiste Power Yoga class: Great athletes, artists, scientists and performers know that there is a place between anxiety and boredom where intuitive action and joy arise naturally. We will explore this “zone” in a physically, mentally and spiritually challenging 2-hour hot Baptiste Vinyasa Yoga practice.
During the class, Philip will point you to the exact conditions that free you to be in peak performance. You will experience what “the zone” really is, how it relates to peace of mind and spirituality, and how to get there. Everyone with experience of basic yoga poses is welcome.
• 7:30-9:30 p.m. dynamic discussion: We have all experienced those moments of peace and power where life seem to flow perfectly and with great ease. It can be more than moments! This state exists between anxiety and boredom where great action and joy arise naturally. For most of us this state is very fragile. It seems to happen by chance, if at all. All of us can increase our experience in this state of ease, peace and confidence. We will identify this place of presence and practice finding it.
You will learn how to transform your mind from a cause of anxiety into a source of peace for you and those around you. You will learn the spiritual and mental conditions that liberate peace and power. You will learn what this “flow” really is, how it relates to peace of mind, and how to get there.
Using simple diagrams and dynamic, fun discussion, we will explore the spiritual and mental conditions and exercises that liberate peace and power and keep you in the flow.
Light snacks will be provided. Reservations held with payment ($60). Mail or drop a check through the studio’s front-door mail slot. Please clearly mark checks ‘Philip Urso Master Class,’ payable to Practice Yoga, and INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND PHONE NUMBER .
