Within the past couple years, she has taught classes, given workshops and retreats in Bali, Singapore, Maldives, Thailand, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Morocco, Costa Rica, and Belgium. Summer is very excited to serve the yoga community in Singapore and share her knowledge and experience.

Workshop Description
During this two-part immersion, we will work with the breath in its subtle forms, with kriyas (cleansing practices), pranayama, and anapasati (observation of respiration) meditation; and in its more gross form, the asana practice.
The asana practice will be an ashtanga-based guided class, focusing on key poses and their preparations. Prepare to move slowly, with intention, awareness, and kindness. When doing the physical postures, we keep our awareness on the breath -- synchronizing the breath and the movement. It is key to maintain the breath steady and even throughout the practice, especially during transitions and while attempting more challenging postures. If we allow the body to remain in a state of inner calm and homeostasis through the breath, then we can receive the more subtle benefits of the practice. Internalising this approach will empower us to face any stressful or challenging situations in our daily lives with the same inner calm and steadiness. We find ourselves better able to cope with any ups and downs in our lives.
