ATTENDING a full weekend of classes allows students to deepen the effects of the practice and make personal progress. We highly recommend this time with Kofi to do just that!

Kofi Busia is not only an extremely gifted, original and knowledgeable teacher, but is a long-time, serious senior student of B.K.S. Iyengar. Born in Ghana and educated at Oxford, England, Kofi has taught yoga for the past 28 years. He is a Sanskrit scholar and has translated the yoga sutras from their original.

We guarantee that he will challenge you intellectually, as well as physically. His classes are not for extreme beginners, but they provide strength and stamina and will help in building a firm foundation to the practice of serious students, without encouraging dependence. We urge you to attend these classes.

NO MATTER what kind of birth you are planning, this three-hour workshop will teach the mom-to-be and her partner how to manage the sensations that come with giving birth. This is the perfect complement to a formal childbirth education class for first-time parents. It is also a great refresher course for parents who have already given birth.

In this workshop you will learn and practice:

  • breathing techniques to help you manage the sensations of labor.
  • massage techniques to reduce the discomforts associated with childbirth.
  • visualizations that will prepare your mind and spirit for the healthy birth of your child.
  • relaxation for easier more comfortable birthing.
  • labor and birth positions that facilitate optimal fetal positioning.

This is the perfect way for you to connect with each other and your baby as you prepare for the life-changing experience of childbirth.

Bring water & snacks. Yoga props are provided (bring your own mat if you have one)
