Svaroopa Yoga Workshops and Retreats

I offer 1/2 day Svaroopa yoga workshops in an area of San Diego, CA called Clairemont, approximately every 3-4 weeks. I also teach occasionally at other hosted venues in San Diego. Workshops listed below are in Clairemont, unless otherwise indicated.

This page is updated regularly with upcoming workshops. Enrollment is limited by the size of the rooms and pre-registration via email is required. In some cases (listed in the description), payment in advance is required.

If you would like to receive email invitations to workshops, send me an email at casey@yogawithcasey.com and I will add you to my email list. This is the best way to ensure you receive timely information. Workshops often fill within 1-2 days.

An Exploration of Namaste
San Diego, CA

Sunday, November 9, 2008
3:00 - 5:30 P.M.

What does Namaste mean?

Often at the beginning or end of a yoga class, we say “Namaste” to each other.

The word Namaste expresses the breadth and vastness of yoga, and also is used in everyday life. Explore the meaning and experience of the word Namaste through a number of partner and personal experiences designed to enrich your understanding. Both new and experienced yogis will find something to take away from this workshop.

This is a special program offered by Y.E.S., the Yoga Education Society of San Diego. It is open to everyone and is free to Y.E.S. members. If you are not a Y.E.S. member, the cost is $25 which gives you a membership to Y.E.S.
