EVERY DAY SACRED BASICS & BOOK LIST
Every Day Sacred Fall 2012
Every Day Sacred Basics
Here are some basics you need to know to navigate the Every Day Sacred Immersion and Teacher Training with confidence:
1. Please bring with you paper and something to write with to every meeting.
You will also want to wear clothing to do asana.
2. It is recommended to bring food with you on the weekend meetings. There
will be time for a short break to eat or relax.
3. The rest of the day we will have various activities such as "asana lab" (looking
at the poses and learning the details), and teachings around topics such
as yoga philosophy, yogic subtle body, pranayama and meditation.
4. You will not need to bring the books with you on the first
weekend. However, prior to the first meeting please read:
Chapter 1 (p5 - 7) in Desikachar's Heart of Yoga
Chapter 1 (p3 - 11) in Donna Farhi's Bringing Yoga to Life
5. You are required to take at least one public yoga class per week while
enrolled in the immersion and/or TT. You have unlimited yoga classes at
Namste from 9/21- 12/9/12, and 1/12 -3/24/13. We hope you are able to
take advantage of this and take class regularly!
6. Books are available at a 15% discount at Namaste Grand Lake.
