Breathwork followed by Workshop on Hands-On Adjustments with Michael Gannon part of a Full Weekend with Michael Gannon
Sunday May 4 @The Shala Pittsburgh: Breathwork and Adjustments Workshop 1-3pm. Sunday workshops are hosted at the Yoga Shala of Pittsburgh, located at 6101 Penn Avenue enter ground floor, N Sheridan Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206
Yoga Adjustments…The most powerful part of giving Ashtanga is in the touch. It is not what we can guide so much as what we can feel, touch and breathe. And more is less in this simple yet powerful approach. The breath is the guide, which allows us to line up our students or ourselves by using brief verbal and tactile clues to move in and out of an asana, without disrupting the breath. Working with partners, we will learn some of these subtle adjustments that are as important to understand while you are being adjusted, as they are when you are giving adjustments. This workshop will begin with an intensive 20-30 minute Gannon Power Breathwork practice that will settle the mind and body to prepare for this deep posture work.
Please note this workshop will be hosted at the Yoga Shala of Pittsburgh located at 6101 Penn Avenue enter ground floor, N Sheridan Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.

Yoga found Michael after 10 years of chaotic deal making in the American advertising and music business. Through his yoga practice he was awakened to incredible balancing benefits that would gradually change his life path. Gannon spent 10 years studying with the late Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois, learning the 1st, 2nd and 3rd series of the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa system. He was authorized directly by Jois in 2001 to teach, and Gannon then spent the next 13 years travelling and teaching Ashtanga in over 40 countries on 5 continents. His personal practice and that which comes from sharing with so many other people worldwide lead to the organic evolution of his own experience of Power Vinyasa Yoga. Find out more here.
