About the event

The Body Matrix

An in-person retreat with Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor in Lisbon, Portugal.

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
