Yoga workshop on Clare Island with Rossella Baroncini,
10th - 17th July 2010

The teacher
Rossella Baroncini was born and lives in Florence where she trained as a yoga teacher. She has been teaching classes, workshops and private lessons since 1987.  Rossella is a direct long time student of Vanda Scaravelli (author of Awakening the Spine, 1991). She started to study with her in 1983 at the age of 26 having individual lessons until 1999. Rossella is continuing to explore the teaching she has received, from many years of practice and relationship with Vanda, maintaining her simplicity and freedom.

The workshop
This workshop is designed for already experienced yoga practitioners (with at least two years regular practice). Yoga teachers and students that have already attended previous Rossella’s workshops are welcome too. There will be 5 hours of yoga every day, 3 hours in the early morning, and 2 hours before dinner. One afternoon will be kept free to explore the island.”Breathing and silence are our Arianna’s thread in this workshop: breathing puts us in that innocent state of silence in which even a miracle can happen.
We will invite silence to remain with us during the days as a nourishing ground for creativity, intuition and true communication. Participants can expect to have two days of full silence during the week.

Cost
450 euros (shared accommodation and food)  + donation for teaching

Donations
On this  course, the price includes only accommodation and food. The teacher, rather than charging a fixed teaching fee, choose to rely instead on the honorary donation system. This is because in a world where it is presumed that everything must have a price, they feel that some forms of learning cannot be measured solely in money terms.  However, in order to continue running courses in the future in the same spirit, we need to make sure that participants understand that what is being offered is not just a 'cheap' option. Except in exceptional circumstances, the donation should be proportionate to the amount of teaching hours on the course, and related to the normal price of a yoga class (in Ireland, between 5 and 12 euros / hour).
