Hodge ---------------------- YOGA YOGA HOSTS YOGA IN SMALL COMMUNITIES CONFERENCE Austin, Texas (March 7, 2005) Yoga Yoga will host a Yoga in Small Communities Conference on October 14-16, 2005, at Yoga Yoga Westgate, 4477 South Lamar, in Austin, Texas. The goal of the Yoga in Small Communities conference is to bring yoga
teachers and students together to address the opportunities and challenges
particular to teaching and practicing yoga in small communities. “One
of the most profound changes in yoga in this new century is the accessibility
and receptiveness afforded to it by people in small communities,” says
Mehtab Benton, founder of Yoga Yoga and director of its teacher training programs. “No
longer is yoga only for the university town or the big city, it is being widely
taught in churches, fitness centers, and studios in even the smallest communities.
Every year we train dozens of teachers who take yoga back to their home towns,
in some cases for the very first time. While this is an exciting development,
teaching yoga in small communities represents a real challenge to teachers
who now must mainstream an experience for middle America that was once the
jealously guarded domain of rock stars, health nuts, and aging hippies.” -more- Pre-Conference Friday October 14th 9:00 – 12:00 p.m. Special Training: Yoga for Older Populations 12:00 – 1:15 p.m. Lunch Break on your own 1:15 – 4:15 p.m. Special Training: Yoga for Older Populations 4:30 – 5:45 p.m. Optional Yoga Class at Yoga Yoga Conference Friday October 14th 4:30 – 5:45 p.m. Optional Yoga Class at Yoga Yoga 6:00 – 6:30 p.m. Registration 6:30 – 7:00 p.m. Welcome, Orientation, and Introductions 7:00 – 7:45 p.m. Meeting and Greeting Groups 8:00 – 9:00 p.m. Restorative Yoga Class Saturday October 15th 8:00 – 8:45 a.m. Sun Salutations 8:45 – 9:15 a.m. Breakfast Buffet and Late Registration 9:30 – 10:00 a.m. Keynote Address: Building a Yoga Community 10:00 – 12:00 p.m. Workshop Session 1 12:15 – 1:15 p.m. Catered Lunch for All Participants 1:30 – 2:45 p.m. Special Interest Groups Breakout 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. Workshop Session 2 5:15 – 6:30 p.m. Exploring Yoga Class (Select Ashtanga or Kundalini) 6:30 p.m. Dining in Austin – Optional Carpooling Sunday October 16th 7:30 – 8:45 a.m. Morning Yoga (Select Hatha Flow or Viniyoga) 8:45 – 9:15 a.m. Breakfast Buffet 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. Workshop Session 3 11:45 – 12:45 p.m. Catered Lunch for All Participants 1:00 – 2:15 p.m. Special Interest Groups Breakout 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. Closing Circle and Meditation -more- About Yoga Yoga, LLC (http://www.yogayoga.com)Yoga Yoga is Austin’s premier source for yoga with three locations and 250 classes weekly.
