November 2019 - 3. - 9. November 2019 Jared McCann is an international yoga teacher and holds an advanced E-RYT 500 designation. He is the two-time National and 2013 World Asana Champion. Jared has studied yoga extensively with Dharma Mittra, Ana Forrest, and Mary Jarvis. He has over a decade of practice in Ashtanga, Bikram, Dharma, Forrest, and Iyengar yoga combining all disciplines together in his unique vinyasa series: JM Vinyasa. He continually studies new and old traditions, implementing both in his practice and teaching. Jared believes that yoga is a powerful tool which can assist in human progress, allowing each individual to peel off layers of their “identity” in order to uncover their own true nature. He believes that through the practice of yoga, students can connect and be a part of something greater than themselves, and are better able to see their own divine purpose in the universe. Jared is also the founder of Lighthouse Yoga School in Brooklyn, New York. His yoga classes are well balanced, challenging, fun, and will push you to your edge. The classes focus on subtle details to bring you deeply into your body. All levels of practitioners are welcome, from beginner to advanced. https://www.arakaiyogaretreats.com/deposit daily 0.75 2019-02-26 https://www.arakaiyogaretreats.com/deposit/deposit monthly 0.5 2019-02-26 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6e75d2e66669551e681fe1/5c752fa3ee6eb07a7f4972cf/5c75307c7817f71a15287012/1551184002332/IMG_2352editTerraza.jpg deposit - Deposit
