Partner Yoga
With Bindu
Sun. July 15th 1:00 – 3:30pm
$30 per person/$50 per couple, by 7/11.
$40 per person/$60 per couple thereafter.
Our yoga practice is generally an individual, personal,
internal practice of integration and balance. In Partner Yoga
practice we can cultivate these important qualities in the
push-pull context of relationship. True intimacy is always
a matter of genuine presence. A sense of wholeness or completeness
is experienced when we see our own stability and presence
as a partner. This kind of partnership can be seen in terms
of universal brother/sisterhood. From our closest most intimate
relationships, to the seemingly most distant – we can
learn to be a true partner.
Please join us for this wonderful and illuminating practice!
Bring a partner or come alone. In most cases partners of different
weight and height can work together. This practice is appropriate
for all levels of yoga experience.
Bindu Dexter has been an enthusiastic student of Yoga and
Zen since 1994. In 1996 he received teacher certification
from the White Lotus Foundation and began to study the partner
practices which he learned there. Ordained as a monk in the
Rinzai Zen tradition in 2000, Bindu completed his initial
1000 days monastic training in 2004. Bindu lives and practices
in Los Angeles.
