Workshops with Myra Lewin are designed to develop a strong foundation of balanced practices. They are approached as sacred methods for turning one’s focus inward in order to be present and focused in the world.
Teachings are drawn from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the Upanishads, the Dhamapada, significant Ayurvedic texts, various traditions from around the world, and life’s experiences. Contemporary personal growth approaches are also utilized in relation to Yogic principles. Asana methods are drawn primarily from Iyengar, Ashtanga, Scaravelli, and Sandra Kozak.
A few consultation appointments are available before and after most workshops with Myra. Call (415) 484-8108 or email to schedule an appointment or arrange for a workshop in your area.

Basic Protocol for Workshops
- Consult your health practitioner before undertaking any physical activity.
- Be on time and plan to stay to the end. Workshops are typically structured in a progressive manner. If you need to leave early, please notify Myra in advance.
- Please do not wear perfumed body or hair products to any workshop.
- Avoid eating at least two hours before asana or pranayama workshops. Some liquids (i.e., coffee, tea, and other stimulants) are best left out of your system.
- Drink plenty of good, clean water before, not during, a session. Drink several glasses of pure, clean water following each session.
- Keep the breath smooth and comfortable in the practices. Pushing too far or doing too much may cause injury and set you back, not forward.
- Your practices will vary one day to the next, depending on how you are feeling. Learn to flow with how you feel.
- Be aware; follow your breath and your feelings. Listen and learn from your body. Practice Self respect. This is when healing and change takes place.
