yogAsana in the HEAT

Tony Wilmot adjustingHi Yogis and Yoginis,

Thank you for attending our first yogAsana in the HEAT workshop at yoga haven yesterday on Saturday 21st January 2012. Tony and myself are very pleased with the response and feedback to this our first workshop of this kind. I especially liked meeting new yoga practitioners and presenting yogAsana to this new audience. Tony has a lovely voice for chanting. I hope he keeps it for the yoga and is not tempted to diverge into the commercial market. What a lovely experience to chant Mantra together, to still the mind and then to enjoy a lovely sequence of yoga postures in that perfectly heated room.

Please feel free to comment on any part of the session that you felt had special value for you or you would like us to elaborate on in our future workshops at yoga haven.

Namaste,

Tony and Granville X
