Iyengar Yoga places special attention on developing strength, endurance, and correct body alignment-which brings calmness, balance and union of the mind and body.  It is perfect for the beginning yoga student as well as more advanced students.  If you want to add yoga into your life, this is the perfect opportunity.  For the experienced yogi, this is the best opportunity to kick your yoga practice up a notch.  Offered at half the price of similar workshops in the US.  It is the best gift you can give yourself.

We are, once again, blessed to have Deborah Bristow back with us.  Lucky for us, Deborah fell in love with Sonora, Mexico years ago.  Ms. Bristow offers very exclusive workshops throughout the world and we are so happy to have her with us again. Deborah began her Iyengar Yoga studies in 1979 in San Francisco.  She is a graduate of the Iyengar Yoga Institutes Advanced Studies Program and most recently, the Iyengar Therapeutic Yoga Certification program.  Deborah has continued her studies at multiple Iyengar Yoga Workshops in the US and in Pune, India where she has spent a total of 12 months studying with Shri B.K.S. Iyengar and his family.  Therapeutic Yoga certification is a very strenuous achievement.  There are very few instructors world wide that have this type of specialized training.  Deborah currently lives and teaches in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Deborah is certified on the Junior Intermediate Level 3 to teach Iyengar Yoga.

This year we offer workshops in 2 locations.  The first workshop in Sunny San Carlos, located on the Sea of Cortez.  The second is in the historic city of Alamos, located in the Sierra Madre foothills of Southern Sonora State.  All classes are mixed-level--suitable for beginners and intermediates, and each workshop will include 10-hours of instruction over 3 days.   

San Carlos Workshop:     Fri 3/16 9am-11am & 3pm-5pm
                             Sat 3/17 9am-11am & 3pm-5pm
                             Sun 3/18 9am-11am
                             Cost for workshop $150usd

Classes will be held at San Carlos Gym. A few private yoga therapy sessions with Deborah Bristow will be available.  75 min. for $85usd. 

A package price for our guests visiting San Carlos from out of town is available for $350/Double, and $510/Single. This package includes all ground transportation, 5 nights lodging at the beautiful Hotel Fiesta Real overlooking the Sea of Cortez, 2 meals (welcome dinner and adios brunch), and the 10-hour Iyengar Yoga workshop.  Guests arrive on Thursday March 15th where we will share a welcome dinner at the Fiesta Beach Palapa.  Please contact Kathy Bereza at kathybereza@hotmail.com, 011-52-622-226-0119, for more information.

Alamos Workshop: Classes begin Monday March 19th. A complete package price of $565/Double, and $700/Single. This includes hotel for 3 nights, 2 meals daily, a very special gourmet dinner at The El Palomar Ranch, plus the 10 hour workshop. Please go to www.elpedregalmexico.com for more details.

If you have the time, combining both workshops is an amazing experience.  It may sound like a lot but after the first workshop you are left feeling invigorate and the benefits achieved in the next workshop are taken to an entirely different level.  You experienced yogis owe it to yourself to try this out.  For the price, an opportunity like this rarely presents itself.


Mark your calendar, and make sure to reserve your spot.  We look forward to seeing you. NAMASTE. 


MORE ON IYENGAR YOGA:  Iyengar yoga is based on the teaching of living yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar, author of the classic yoga book "Light on Yoga".  His daughter, Geeta, and son, Prashant, are also accomplished teachers and authors of yoga texts.  The Iyengar family's teachings are deeply grounded in the yoga sutras of Patanjali, an ancient summation of the path of yoga considered to be at least 2500 years old.  B.K.S. Iyengar's intense practice and over 65 years of teaching have produced significant innovations in the teaching of this art.
