Yoga Tune Up® Comes to Avalon!
Yoga Tune Up® Founder Jill Miller to Join Us in the
20th Session of Avalon's Teacher Training Program!
 Reflecting
the academic design of our Teachers Training Program, Avalon
offers classes in a wider range of yoga traditions than
any other studio in the region - and we're aways looking for ways to introduce more.
Our newest exploration of yoga styles began last month with a new All-Level Class held on Thursdays from 5:30 - 7:00 pm, taught by Phuong Ertley. The class combines conventional Flow Yoga
with the powerful body-work methods associated with Yoga Tune Up®.
Yoga Tune Up®
refers to a collection of physical and therapeutic tools
developed in recent decades by the globally known yoga and body-work
specialist Jill Miller (shown in the picture on the right).
Jill has trained hundreds of prominent yoga teachers throughout the
United States and overseas. Her past students now teaching at Avalon (besides Phuong) include Avalon favorite Louis Jackson, a key member of Avalon's Teacher Training Faculty.
Louis incorporates many of Jill's principles in his popular Yoga Clinic
taught on Wednesday nights from 7:15 - 9 pm (or later).
Now we are pleased to announce that Jill Miller has agreed to join us by teaching an extended Private Workshop in our 20th Consecutive Term of our Teachers Training Program, which will begin in October.
The methods of Yoga Tune Up® draw not only on conventional Mysore-style yoga - the
root tradition behind most modern yoga styles developed between the 1940s - 90s — Iyengar, Ashtanga,
Vinyasa or Flow, Jivamukti, Power Yoga, and so on - but as well on
modern dance, pilates, gymnastics, calisthenics, and a wide range of other body-work and therapeutic traditions.
Yoga Tune Up® pays
special attention to the anatomical and physiological sides of
yoga, and like Avalon's Teacher Training Program is both rigorous and
scientific in orientation.
Jill will join a long line of other
globally known specialists in our 20th Teacher Training term, including long-time
Avalon Faculty Member and best-selling author Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. , one of the world's leading academic specialists in Therapeutic Yoga.

After the last class
ends at
7:45 pm, we're always happy to keep Avalon's doors open on Saturday
nights
for free yoga practice, informal socializing, or anything else creative
that anyone wants to
do
until the last person leaves.
We
have a long series of FREE community events planned in that slot in
2012. When we don't have an event scheduled, we are always
ready to donate our space for any event in that slot that reflects the
progressive political,
humanistic, and artistic values of the Studio.
Do you have a creative idea
about how to use Avalon on Saturday nights?
If you do, stop by and talk to us at the desk, or write us here.
