Janet MacLeod
July 21-28, 2012
Janet MacLeod embraces the eight limbs of yoga in her teaching of asana and pranayama. Yoga is based on theprinciple of ahimsa (non harming) and Janet uses this as a way to bring students to their full potential without incurring injury. She acknowledges the Iyengar family as the guiding light in her practice (35 years) and teaching (close to 30 years). Janet taught her first yoga retreat at Harbin Hot Springs in Northern California in the early 80′s. Since then she has conducted many popular retreats in beautiful and exotic places around the world. This is her first retreat in Italy. Janet has the capacity to teach yoga to groups with vastly differing levels of students so that they all feel challenged; this is particularly important in the retreat setting where groups tend to be more mixed.Janet has devoted her life to the practice, study and teaching of yoga for 30 years. Although she is very serious about the subject her classes are infused with joy helping students to experience the positive state of mind associated with this practice.
