Champion
Coaching Clinic
Over the past 10 years I have learned an extremely
effective way to deepen yoga asanas. It entails a daily yoga practice
plus a series of "homework" exercises that focus on backward bending.
The theory behind the homework is that as the spine becomes stronger
and more flexible so does the entire body.
During periods of focused yoga practice, I dedicate myself to a yoga
routine of up to 6 hours per day for weeks, and sometimes months at a
time. I have been training this way since 2003.
This coaching clinic is designed to teach yogis training exercises that
can be utilized year-round and on an on-going basis. Further, we create
a community environment that is fun and conducive to deep yogic
exploration.
When possible, we build a team of Karma yogis who serve in the kitchen
throughout the training, preparing for us a
mostly raw diet, along with daily fresh juices and smoothies. After we
finish our training each day we can relax and enjoy fresh foods
prepared with Love. We strive to eat the best quality foods available
with the highest nutritional value. The menus have been prepared after
many years of research and experimentation to find the best diet for
intense yoga practice.
During the clinic participants are asked not to take on any other
commitments so that the yoga practice can be the priority. When you are
not on the yoga mat, your time will be spent resting, nourishing
yourself, getting bodywork, and getting ready to practice again.
You will learn:
• How to be of service to others
through your yoga practice.
• How to accurately demonstrate the art of Hatha
yoga, regardless of ability in the postures.
• How to develop your postures beyond your perceived
limits.
• How to prepare a 3-minute routine for USA Yoga
competitions.
• Nutritional recommendations for yogis in training.
Because of the large interest in recent Coaching Clinics, there is
limited space available. Registration priority will be given to those
who sign up first and/or have attended previous Coaching Clinics with
Esak. A commitment to attend the entirety of the clinic is mandatory to
participate.
Any sort of recreational drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol will not
tolerated during this clinic, even when away from the group. You will
be asked to leave the clinic immediately for violating this rule. If
you drink caffeine, or eat lots of refined sugar, please reduce your
use and dependence on these substances before coming so that you will
have an easier time working into deeper postures. I recommend 30 days
without any caffeine or sugar prior to arriving.
Our daily schedule will look like this:
• Morning Yoga Class
• Fresh juice
• Morning 2 hour “homework” session
• Light catered lunch
• Evening Yoga Class
• Nutritional smoothies
• Evening 2 hour “homework” session
• Catered dinner
Please note that we will be practicing Bikram yoga twice daily and in
addition to that we will be doing 4 hours of yogic exercises. Please
make sure you are physically prepared to practice double classes each
day, otherwise your ability to participate will be limited.
The schedule will vary from day to day and clinic to
clinic depending
on the needs of the group. During the clinic we will likely have field
trips to offer demonstrations to the public. Please do not
expect to know ahead of time the exact schedule that we will follow, it
will adjust from day to day as necessary.
There is a non-refundable registration fee payable by PayPal to
hold your place in the clinic. The registration payment will let me
know who is committed to joining me for the entirety of the coaching
clinic and enable me to make preparations. The cost of participation,
beyond the registration fee, will vary from clinic to clinic.
The following will be arranged for all participants:
-Transportation to and from the airport
-Accommodation
for the entirety of the clinic
-Catered lunch
and dinner

Accommodations will be
slumber-party style, so everyone needs to bring
their own bedding (air mattress, sheets, etc). No bedding is
provided!
Lastly, please remember that the effects of this training are
cumulative, and that only sustained practice over time will accomplish
profound results. The Coaching Clinic is only an introduction to a way
to deepen yoga asanas. The results will be profound if you continue to
apply what you learn beyond the clinic.
As soon as you are registered you will receive preparation "homework"
along with orientation materials.
Testimonials:
“The turning point in my practice was the training you
gave me. I continue to benefit every day. I was hoping that you saw my
wheel and remembered when you taught me that and saw me do it for the
first time. It was def a struggle then, now a ‘given’”. –Kim
Tang, Palm Springs, CA
“I just wanted to thank you for a great 2 weeks in
Charleston. All of the hard work is definitely paying off as I am
feeling stronger than ever, getting closer and even into postures I
couldn't a month ago. I feel like I have entered a whole new
(fun) world of yoga and I love it.” –Courtney Hurley, Voorhees, NJ
