with International Master Teachers Jonas Westring & Kim Nguyen
Join us for 2 incredible extended practices with internationally renowned teachers Jonas Westring & Kim Nguyen as they visit Sacramento. Kim & Jonas have been friends with Tyler & Annie for 5 years after having immersed in their Teacher Trainings in Chiang Mai, Thailand, but they have also inspired Shala teachers Michael Fong, Tristina Kennedy and Katie Macrae who have studied with them too. Expect to be challenged but in a graceful way, and then go deep into your body but in a safe way, and feel amazing after a strong but therapeutic class that integrates your whole body, mind & heart.
Feel the Fullness of all that you are! "Purna" is the affirmation of your Wholeness from physical to spiritual.
Backbends are beautiful and should not be scary, and they feel amazing and should not be painful, but it takes patience and proper approach to enjoy these powerful shapes. Come and enjoy an educational and inspirational class which will leave you feeling full of hope, peace, and love after a fun & strong physical challenge.
