Indra’s Net
A Yoga Retreat with Yoko — at Whispertree November 1 – 3, 2024
Yoko has been teaching yoga since 1996. She has studied with fantastic teachers: Donald Moyer, Rodney Yee, Ramanand Patel, Dona Holleman and Mary Lou Weprin.
As she ages, Yoko is interested in how yoga asana promotes resilience, endurance, and ease. Her practice leans into building alignment, strength, and propulsive power. She also practices at a slower pace (lots of restorative poses!) for her metabolism — notably the neuro-endocrine, digestive, and vascular systems.
As a teacher, Yoko focuses on keeping a multi-level group of students moving together, toward more complex and challenging poses. She pays attention to the individual student and the group. If you are newer to yoga, you will not be pushed past what works for you and will be given ample alternative poses.
Schedule of public classes
Yoga is a holistic practice from India with a storied history and deep philosophical roots. Yoga asana are physical postures practiced with intention and mindfulness. Asana, practiced diligently, develops core strength, alignment, and resilience. We work with the breath as conduit to the inner body, self-awareness of shifting moods and the tricksy mind, and loving-kindness.
Yoga is a powerful practice. Patience is paramount.
