Namaspa Training

I had the pleasure of getting to go to a Dave Farmer workshop at Namaspa, in Bend, Oregon. If you havent had the pleasure of going to Namaspa, you really should check it out. Its a Power Yoga Studio, a Baron Baptiste Affiliate. Owned by Suzie Harris.

It was a phenomenal workshop! And Dave Farmer was an excellent instructor. The workshop i went to was a power yoga Bootcamp. It was a two day training with 3 yoga classes in two days. The first one was 90mins on Friday night, and then a 2.5 hour class on Saturday morning, and a 3 hour class on Saturday afternoon. All of these classes are taught in a 90degree room with 72% humidity. It was phenomenal! it may sound like its a horrible experience, but its the furthest thing from. The heat is phenomenal and really helps stretch those stubborn muscles that never seem to want to stretch.

So there is a point to all of this. Why am I telling you about this? Well, Dave Farmer likes to record some of his classes, and one of the classes from our bootcamp was recorded and is available for free on his website. Check it out here! Download it, put it on your ipod, and try the practice. The weather is great this time of year, so if you have the opportunity, take your practice outside, dress in layers, and enjoy your practice. (This class assumes that you know the basics of yoga).

This was really a great workshop, and Suzie over at Namaspa has great workshops on a regular basis. I've taken a few of them, and can tell you from experience they are really worth it. She is a class act along with the trainers she brings in. Check it out by clicking on the word Namaspa anywhere in this post.
