yoga with vickie russell bell: public classes & private instruction

workshops and retreats

Workshops and retreats are a great opportunity to deepen your yoga practice. They aren’t necessarily more challenging than regular classes, but are designed to help you deepen your understanding of a particular aspect of the practice.

TO INTERMEDIATE AND BEYOND... A 9-WEEK SERIES
Thursdays, March 28th - May 23rd, 2013 | 7:15 pm - 9:00 pm

Looking to move beyond beginner level classes and explore more challenging poses?

This class is geared toward students who want to learn and understand the elements of inversions and more intermediate level asanas. Reap the benefits of working within a consistent group week after week in order to progress and take your practice to the next level.

Explore rudimentary poses in depth, taking them apart and examining their elements. Each week, the focus will be on different themes — backbends, inversions, arm balances, breathing, restoratives — building from the basics to intermediate and advanced skills.

Cost: 9-week series: $122 | Drop-in: $18 per class

2013 DAYLONGS

Join Vickie Russell Bell for a magical yoga getaway for the day!

It’s amazing what happens when things slow down and we are allowed the space to drop into ourselves and our surroundings.

Casa Flores is conveniently located in west Sonoma County near Sebastopol. It is surrounded by luxurious gardens and the indoor yoga room is intimate with space for 13. Dinner will be served by our hosts al fresco under the redwoods. Enjoy a lovely organic meal and a glass of wine or lemonade with old and new friends.

Green Gulch Farm is located in Marin near Muir Beach. The yoga yurt holds 20 and the afternoon includes lunch and a hike to the beach!

Our mornings begin with an active practice and meditation. The afternoon session is more contemplative and the last hour is a restorative practice allowing you to end the day in deep relaxation.

Space is limited, so sign up early. Carpools can be arranged.
Cost of one day of yoga and a meal is $135.

You must cancel at least one week prior to the retreat for a refund.

testimonials

“I’m very picky about yoga instructors and have worked with a number of them. Vickie is my absolute favorite. She teaches in the Iyengar tradition and she is obviously very knowledgeable about it. But unlike some other yoga instructors, she is easy to understand and often provides detailed instructions. Vickie teaches mostly at Piedmont Yoga Studio, but at other local studios as well. She offers a variety of levels, but mostly beginner to intermediate which is where I fit in. She encourages her students to work hard, but has a good intuitive sense of when to go easier on them — which is much appreciated! Also, she's funny and so I’ll even sometimes find myself laughing in the middle of a very difficult pose. At the same time, she has a deep spiritual sense which appears to inform her teaching.”
