About the event

Ashtanga Synthesis: Love of Wisdom Immersion

An immersion with Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor exploring the roots of yoga philosophy.

I see this as a time when the ashtanga lineage has an opportunity to evolve into one that is founded in truth rather than avoidance or denial, openness rather than tunnel vision, caring for others rather than putting ourselves first.
Mary Taylor
