Bio:
Aaron Krohn was first introduced to the practice of yoga in the summer of 2005 while visiting Mexico and seeking relief from debilitating chronic lower back pain. He got more than he bargained for that first day, but despite muscle soreness that seemed to permeate his entire body he returned for more and has been practicing since. His formal training includes a 200 hour teacher training with Agnes Busch/Om Shanti, Ashtanga teacher training with Tim Miller, and meditation and pranayama training with Belize’s very own Yogi Charu. In addition to these trainings Aaron has participated in workshops with teachers like Mark Robberds, Chandana Bhowmick, Gokulacandra Das (Jani Jaatinen), Alexandra Santos and Vinnie Marino. More recently Aaron has been incorporating kinetic stretching into his physical routine.

Aaron’s teaching style and background are primarily rooted in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, though he has been exploring the more subtle aspects of yoga recently, especially pranayama (breath control), dharana (concentration), pratyhara (sense withdrawal) and dhyana (meditation). The practice of yoga, if done correctly and consistently, can reveal itself to be far more than a form of physical exercise. It is also not limited to the flexible and strong. If you can breathe, you can practice yoga.

Hatha, a dance between the sun and the moon within the self, in this series of workshops you will explore
2 aspects of the asana practice the lunar, feminine, meditative, surrendering aspect and the solar masculine resisting
force that creates and energizing effect. A practices that aims to mobilize the two energies Yin and Yang.

Yin Yang is a philosophical principle and term that explains the existence of two opposing but complementary forces (polarities)
that are essential to the universe.The yin associated with the feminine, moon, darkness, passivity and earth; and the yang
linked with the masculine, sun, the light, the active and the sky. Both energies are necessary to maintain balance.

On the1st SESSION we will experience a Yin yoga practice. A a slow, paced and meditative style of yoga where through
deep relaxation and the natural gravity of the body we stay in long term poses.

The 2nd SESSION will be the flights of the Dragon
A fluid and vigorous dance yoga sequence designed by Suzee Grilley wife of Paul Grilley, creator of Yin Yoga,
whose objective is to awaken the 5 elements of the body: WATER through sweat, WIND with breathing, EARTH looking for its roots,
FIRE generating body heat and ETHER thanks to the sound of movement.Hatha, a dance between the sun and the moon

Friday lunar practice and Saturday morning solar, both infused with essential oils to deepen relaxation.
