Lahaska, PA (PRWEB) September 3, 2004 -- Flip Dog Power Yoga + Pilates is producing a weekend intensive yoga workshop with Jason Crandell, a San Francisco-based instructor whose credits include apprenticeship with Rodney Yee and numerous roles with national magazine Yoga Journal. The workshop will be held at Flip Dog Power Yoga + Pilates in Peddlers Village, Lahaska, PA over the weekend of October 15-17.

We wanted to bring Jason to the community because of his unique ability to blend humor with profound teaching at the highest levels," said Flip Dog Founder Susan John. It is rare to have a workshop of this caliber in Central Bucks. Our instructors are all very excited about this program."

This weekend intensive will afford students the opportunity to deepen their practice and cultivate balance. Attendees will traverse a wide range of asanas -- yoga postures or poses -- over the weekend, playing with and developing standing poses, hip-openers, core-strengtheners, backbends and arm-balances. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Beginning students will be taught modifications while advanced students will be given space to travel deeper into their practice.

Sessions begin Friday evening, October 15 at 6:00 PM with a balanced and invigorating Setting the Tone session. Abdominal and core work at Saturday mornings session, Exploring and Developing Core Strength, will bring steadiness and ease to beginners and advanced students alike. In the afternoon, Backbending with the Whole Spine, will help students learn to enjoy these poses by unlocking the shoulders, hips and upper chest. Sunday morning the group will explore hip-opening and arm balancing poses as a slow unfolding, not a zealous pushing. Participants dont need to be really strong or even flexible, but should come willing to play.
