Workshop with Rachel Zinman and John Weddepohl

Are you looking to advance in your yoga practice? Want to take your yoga off the mat and feel more of it’s power and impact in your every day life? Excited about the benefits of yoga but not quite sure why and how it works? Yoga is more than just physical exercise. It’s meaning is powerful beyond measure. Unlocking the secret of yoga is like tasting mango for the first time. As soon as you try it the flavour bursts onto your tongue and you want more! The true meaning and depth of Yoga is like that. It touches you deeply and your life will never be the same.

Rachel Zinman and John Weddepohl have been practicing and teaching for over 30 years sharing their meaningful message to students world wide. Personable and authentic,  Rachel’s emphasis on meeting the individual and her detail in alignment and sequencing are sought after by both beginner and advanced students alike.  While John’s knowledge and clear and compassionate teaching of the Upanishads isn’t readily available in regular yoga workshops, retreats or teacher trainings.
