Dear Bros and friends of Bros,

This weekend I finished my pre-natal yoga teacher training; I'm so lucky to have spent the last 3 days with 10 very special women. We did yoga, shared, cried, danced, rolled around on the floor, you get the idea; we did things ladies only do when it's just us ladies. Which bring me to the point....

...what happens when it's just the guys? The chance for men to share in this way is a rare and special experience. Yoga is just a small (but important) part of the Broga weekend, it's the vehicle that makes connection and sharing possible. And, when was the last time you got to chop wood and cry like a baby in the same weekend?...we promise we won't tell.

Broga weekend is discounted at $200 (from $325), or give Broga as a gift for the special man in your life.

Love, FonLin

Broga: Yoga for Bros by Bros

with Paul, Michael, and Stevie

With its founder Michael Lanzano, Stevie WF, Dominick Schiavone and Paul Manza

A men's only retreat

How does yoga can suit the American man, without apology for, or the pressure to be, what we are and what we are not? In order to change the American social, personal, and political landscape, we must re-imagine the American male. This weekend will definitely include yoga, and might also include shooting guns, lumbering, sleeping outside, knot tying, cooking together, crying, feeling, chanting, hugging, talking it out, and serious inversions. We will offer ancient and modern tools to move beyond the societal constraints toward enhancement and freedom.

We will examine our strengths, vulnerability, (in)flexibility, in order to create and foster a yoga practice that allows us to be who we are without pressure or apology. We will come together as men to delve into our own selves with honesty, humility, and bravery, to re-imagine what it means to be an American male and move beyond societal expectations.

We will have the run of the house, like hanging out with Martha Stewart but better, because you're doing yoga too and she's not your mom. Bros are welcome.

In 2006 he completed 200 hours of Hatha Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation training at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala, India. He also hugged Amma for the first time, and has been deeply inspired by her hearty lifestyle of 'embracing the world'. In 2009 he completed Laughing Lotus' 200-hour Vinyasa training in New York City, where he continues to practice, study and teach.
Luke's class combines alignment and awareness with rhythm to bring back grace to the body and mind. Equally challenging and relaxing, classes usually include Sanskrit chanting, insight from the Yoga teachings and some good music. He sends great gratitude to all his teachers, including Amma, Walt Whitman and Rumi. Please visit his blog at future-saints.com.

There Is No Better Half: A Couples Retreat
with Kendra and Agni
Support your partner while your partner supports you. Kendra Potter and Angi Purinton have put together a weekend long couples retreat that will leave everyone feeling balanced, both within ourselves and our relationship. Even better, you will have learned some ways to take that balance home with you. A partner yoga class, vinyasa yoga, restorative yoga, and a partner massage workshop will be surrounded by delicious seasonal food and plenty of time to sit by the fire and walk around this beautiful land we heart. Friday night is date night: partner yoga followed by dinner and a movie. Saturday morning, we'll rise and practice with Kendra while Tyler, her other-not better half, prepares breakfast. Saturday evening, Angi Purinton will teach us how to support each other with a partner massage workshop before dinner. And Sunday morning, you'll have some more yoga and breakfast, or if you're needing a little more relaxation, Angi may lend her hands for a few massages. What could be better for the February chill? This weekend is not only for romantic couples. Not everyone has to be a super yogi!Friends are welcome to come in pairs.
