Join Taylor Hunt for a week of practice and forum on Ashtanga yoga and addiction recovery with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Trini Foundation. The course will address the problems associated with drug and alcohol addiction, and how to offer Ashtanga yoga as a tool to help people achieve long-term sobriety. The forum includes 6 days of Mysore (8-10am EST) practice and daily workshops (12-4pm EST). The week is designed for anyone seeking to help others and become a part of the solution.

Topics include:

·    Review of addiction and the current health crisis

·    Trini Foundation’s mission and how Ashtanga yoga can be used as a tool to help people recover

·    Working with beginners and populations in the addiction community at varying levels of sobriety

·    Basics of the Ashtanga yoga method including Sanskrit language, timing, and vinyasa count

·    Working with individuals who have experienced trauma/Ashtanga yoga as a healing modality

·    Structuring a class to effectively transmit the Ashtanga method in a treatment center setting
