$35.00 Master Class: Freedom in Your Shoulders; Freedom in Your Breath


This evening session will include light stretches and asanas to free up your shoulders and open up your body to your breath. You’ll get some key, memorable insights for keeping your shoulders happy and your heart open, and for more fully receiving the gift of your breath. This session is a relaxing, revitalizing evening that includes breath, meditation, and relaxation — and an introduction to the weekend themes of how mudra, drishthi, and pranayama connect you more deeply to your yoga, and how the ‘chakras’ provide practical and effective tools for focus.

A deep breath is not necessarily a ‘big’ breath; it’s the kind of breath that takes you deep. This session is a little experience of going there.



Doug Keller

Doug Keller has been teaching workshops and trainings internationally in the therapeutic applications of yoga for 20 years, and is known not only for his effectiveness in communicating this ever-evolving approach in these trainings, but also for his extensive writing on the topic in magazines, journals and his two-volume work on ‘Yoga As Therapy.’ He has also served, in addition to his traveling and teaching, as a Distinguished Professor at the Maryland University of Integrative Health in their Master’s Degree program in Yoga Therapy.

His background reflects a lifelong commitment to studying, imbibing and sharing the vast field of knowledge and practice known as yoga. After receiving honors and graduate degrees in philosophy from the top Jesuit universities in the United States, Georgetown and Fordham Universities, and teaching philosophy at a college level for several years, he then pursued his ‘post-graduate’ education in the practical experience of yoga at the Siddha Meditation Ashram, Gurudev Siddha Peeth in India, for seven years. He spent a total of 14 years doing service, practicing, training in and teaching yoga in Siddha Meditation Ashrams worldwide. He received intensive training in the Iyengar system in New York City, mainly with senior certified Iyengar teacher Kevin Gardiner. He also practiced Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in India, and became one of the first certified Anusara Yoga teachers, producing three highly respected books on asana, pranayama and yoga philosophy.
