| Bienvenido a Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health |
We arrived midday on Sunday to
Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health - it was a bit of a journey getting here. After flying into
New York and staying for a few days, we hopped the
Peter Pan Bus to
Lenox, where Kripalu had a shuttle waiting.
There are 22 people in the
Dharma Yoga - Life of a Yogi, 200-hr
Yoga Alliance RYT. We were surprised when we arrived on Sunday that
Dharma Mittra won't be arriving to the program until this Thursday - until then we are taking classes from some of (what I'm guess are) his main devotees.
So far the program has been led by
Kim Jeblick and
Lorie Bebber. They are doing a great job getting everyone ready for Dharma's arrival. At first we were a little bummed he wouldn't be here until later in the week, but can completely see why he sends some of his students to do the dirty work to prep for his arrival. Tomorrow
Adam Frei will be arriving and conducting most of the day's programs.
So far we've broken down the
Dharma Level 1 sequence and taken a few higher-level classes (led by Kim and Lorie). We've gone over adjusting and assisting the first sequence and tomorrow will be the first "Master Practice" with Adam.
In the spirit of retreat, the cell phone and computer are off as much as possible (and pre-arrival we received very clear email with instructions not to take photos or video during any of the course - cell phone policies are strictly enforced here, which we have to admit is pretty nice). We'll try to post mid-retreat with some photos and possibly some video. Namaste.
