Walter Hurd Special Guest Teacher carries the lineage of the Walt Baptiste Teachings forward with clarity and integrity. During this weekend Walter will provide you with an integral road map of the Walt Baptiste teachings.

Walt Baptiste‘s style of breath integration with yoga postures is unique to any other because it embraces the whole human.

• Yoga Postures - Walter will teach a full two hour session using the deep surrender yoga principles taught by Walt Baptiste. Special emphases will be paid to the power of breath as a transformational force for the mind and body and as a prelude for easing into meditation.
• Meditation - Thirty minutes will be dedicated to the beginning meditation techniques taught by Walt Baptiste, to calm the mind, create greater clarity of mind and heighten your sensitivity to intuitions knowing impulses.
• Long Term Benefits - The life experience is lifted. There is a new clean, calmness of mind and emotions. There is new strength of body and character, and new confirming insights into who you are.

In 1998 Walter began his career counseling hundreds of people to overcome their physical, mental or emotional limitations of every kind. He currently teaches Yoga and Meditation in Danville, CA.

Master instrumentalist/singer-songwriter Matt Venuti will be gracing us with an intimate concert on Saturday evening. Matt is on a concert tour performing his deeply moving songs while accompanying himself on the Hang, the most exciting new acoustic instrument of the 21st Century and one of the most captivating and versatile of all time. Matt is one of the world’s premier players of the instrument.

Matt will also be debuting a brand new instrument from the creators of the Hang called a Gubal, which has a powerfully deep resonance and sublime qualities.
