Karl shares special breath patterns in coordination with movements to help you safely explore your physical and emotional power. Improve your posture and appear taller, more graceful, and confident, move like a dancer, learn to relax your neck and shoulders, breathe more fully, and improve your emotional state in the process! Get happy! Develop freedom and openness of your heart, breath, and mind. Learn a unique and fun exercise Karl encountered in Hawaii to coordinate breath with your natural movements. You might be surprised how many new people stop you on the street and ask what it is you do to look so good! Beyond the looks, benefits include increased muscle tone for stability and injury prevention to protect your spine and your joints. Get relief from that chronic tension from long hours of work. A special bonus: Karl will give a demonstration of traditional Mongolian throat singing, also known as overtone chant which will be on his upcoming album with German Cellist Insa Schirmer on iTunes.
Karl Straub is a Jivamukti Yoga teacher who’s students include professional athletes, cancer patients, celebrities, and yogis of all levels. Yoga helped him conquer chronic back pain after years in a business job, and he was so inspired by the healing power of yoga that he left his steady job and apartment in New York City in 2005 so that he could concentrate more fully on the yogic path. Karl’s studies in yoga, meditation, and massage include masters from the US, Tibet, India, Thailand, Japan, and beyond. For the past seven years has been traveling and teaching in yoga studios and festivals around the world. He has been featured on US national television, international publications including Yoga Journal online, and he conducts retreats annually in Hawaii, Europe, and beyond. He currently serves as the European Executive Director of the Yoga Studies Institute. www.karlstraub.com
