Announcing the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Retreat at an exquisite seaside resort in Hawaii from March 26th to April 22nd, 2009. Immerse in the Ashtanga Yoga practice in this 200 hour Yoga Certification course with Ashtanga Yoga Instructor, Caroline Klebl. For additional information visit: http://www.sourceofyoga.com.

The Ashtanga Vinyasa practice removes impurities and strengthens the functions of the body and mind. Read more...
