Upcoming Yoga & Meditation retreat with Dave Brocklebank
Satyananda Yoga and Meditation with Dave Brocklebank 1July 15th - 22nd 2005
Description of course
David Robson and David Gelleneau
These two guys eat, sleep and laugh Ashtanga.
And this is their third year returning to the Burren Yoga and Meditation Centre
Enjoy excellent Ashtanga morning classes, go for an adventure outdoors in the Burren with Dave, come back for a belly laugh and some good useful postures for afternoon partner yoga class.
No need to bring a partner, most come on their own, people get a chance to swap around and work with each other to get into some good fun duet and sometimes three or more people structures.
Check out the photos.

Prices to attend part of a courseAdditional nights stay at the centre
To avail of a cheaper flight you may like to stay an extra night or two. Cost is €30 per night. No meals included.
Availability of staying an extra night will only be known 1 week before the course start date, and will depend on the numbers attending the previous weeks course.
If the centre is full, you could always stay that night in Kinvara village with one of the many b&b’s.
Who is the course suitable for
This course is suitable for beginners as well as advanced people.
Just because the partner postures in the photos are very difficult, does not mean that these will be the postures you will have to do. ;-) Beginners will be gradually taken through the different asanas and vinyasas (breathing).
More advanced practitioners who know the series will practice at their own pace getting adjustments and being led further into the practice.
This course is for people who wish to work with their physical body through the Astanga practice. And also enjoy some fun and explore some new ways of working with a partner to improve one’s practice.
Instructors
David Gellineau & David Robson:
David and David are
advanced yoga practitioners. They have studied
extensively in India, and each year return to deepen
their practice. The Davids co-direct the Catfish Yoga
Shala (www.catfishyoga.com) in Toronto, Canada, and
are also the originators of their own special brand of
partneryoga (www.partneryoga), which they teach at
home and abroad. Classes with David and David are
always dynamic, challenging, and tempered with
laughter.
I first met these guys in Mysore while they were living our there for a few months in 2002. These guys were living, breathing, eating, and oozing Ashtanga yoga. And in downtown Mysore that's not a bad place to be.
They have taught here in 2003, 2004, and are coming back here again July 15th - 22nd 2005 [xxx click through to course desc]
