Deceptive Flexibility 2

September 26 - October 3

Lokananda Retreat Center, Downingtown PA

Discover a new level of inner opening with new poses that stabilize your hyperflexible joints. Learn variations that make you able to effectively use your abs, legs and arms to create core opening. Learn the practices that helped Swami Nirmalananda heal from her serious hip injury. This deeper and more powerful practice makes fast changes in your body. Most importantly, it opens up your experience of cosmic consciousness, as spinal decompression always does!

“Being able to identify deceptive flexibility. Seeing it in different bodies and then actually finding it a little in myself. So much great info – I feel that I will better support my students.” – Jackie Brooks

This course is beneficial for yourself as well as for students who do impressive poses but still have pain. This professional training picks up where Deceptive Flexibility 1 left off both with body and mind. Incorporating vichara into the program enables you to begin rewiring the body-mind patterns you’ve been wanting for years.
