Yoga From the Inner Body

with

Patricia Schneider & Andrew Junker

Stress, sports, injuries, illness, fatigue can block the free flow of energy and deplete vitality. Yoga from the Inner Body is an internal and meditative approach that can help you access your core energy, release internal holding patterns, and help you feel awake, alive, energized and vital.

Patricia Schneider and Andrew Junker have been on a path of personal growth and exploration with Yoga and Vipassana meditation for more than 25 years and have been teaching Yoga together since 1982. They founded Yellow Springs Yoga in Ohio and the St. John Yoga Center in the Virgin Islands. Originally certified in the Iyengar system, they are now inspired by the Inner Body teachings of Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten. They teach Yoga workshops nationally as well as internationally.

Their intuitive, creative and unique approach to the teaching of Yoga is a melding of Patricia’s background in nursing, Trager, bodywork therapy and her work as a healer, and Andrew’s background as a researcher with a Ph.D. in Engineering and Neurophysiology; their fascination with the body-mind connection; and their passion for health, healing and wholeness.

Patricia is the manager and worldwide organizer for Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten. Their center in Yellow Springs Ohio is renowned as an oasis known in the Yoga community bringing world class teachers such as Angela Farmer & Victor van Kooten, Erich Schiffmann, and Judith Lasater

to the Midwest

Former full time residents of the Virgin Islands, they served as Health and Fitness Directors at Maho Bay where they taught Yoga, stress management and conducted weekly Forums on Holistic Health. They now spend winters on St. John on their sailboat, Gypsy Moon, and teach classes and workshops there.

Retreat Program

We will gather on beautiful St. John in the Virgin Islands, a protected space where development is limited and natural beauty abounds, which has two of out of what are known as the ten most beautiful beaches are Earth. St. John is a direct flight from many U.S. cities and provides the safety of a Caribbean experience under the U.S. flag.

You will be nurtured in a luxurious setting, in beautiful villas on healthy, naturally energized St. John, one of the Caribbean’s true pristine treasures. The days will contain explorations of nature, the beaches, the sea, the rainforest, deep meditation, wonderful island food, yoga workshops and other learning activities. You will explore the depths of your being in a beautiful place with knowledgeable, supportive people. The evenings will be times for social connection, fun and rest.
