Dorian Rose fell in love with the energizing and therapeutic aspects of yoga when she began studying Ashtanga at Back Bay Yoga with David Vendetti in 2000. Having been injured training in dance and suffering from anxiety/depression, she found relief and compassion in yoga. She found she wished to share this experience and teacher-trained with Manju Jois, son of Pattabhi Jois, to deepen her practice. She has since explored the therapeutic and spiritual aspects of yoga, taking workshops with many teachers including Ana Forrest, Kelly Morris and Sundara. She has recently completed a 200 hr. training with Bo Forbes, whose unique style of Elemental Yoga integrates mind and body healing in yoga flows. Dorian teaches a class that focuses on challenging the practitioner to go further and open possibilites for creating space and ease in ones body and life..

Learn the anatomy and movement of the body in relation to injury and rehabilitation. Learn safe sequencing, gentle yet well directed adjustments and verbal cues. Learn to guide the subtle flow of prana, dive into meditative serenity and move from your intuitive and natural self.

New for 2009/2010 is the incorporation of Structural Integration bodywork training into the 500-hour curriculum. Learn to combine powerful, deep tissue bodywork release into your yoga instruction to give your students the maximum amount of movement therapy and muscular release.

Both courses will begin with a full week intensive, and then are followed by weekend meetings throughout the year.
