YOGA NIDRA - WITH MOLLY
Saturday, March 10, 3:00pm-5:00pm

Also known as yogic sleep or sleep with awareness, Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice that is rapidly gaining popularity in the West. It is intended to induce full-body relaxation and a deep meditative state of consciousness. In this workshop, we will begin with an all-levels, energized vinyasa practice. After moving energy in the asana practice, we will settle in for the deep, guided relaxation of Yoga Nidra. By consciously relaxing through this guided meditation we can begin to unravel the stresses and tensions we might not even know we are holding on to.
The guided relaxation uses imagery, emotional, and sensory recollections to guide the practitioner into a profoundly relaxed, yet alert state

THE ART OF MUDRA - WITH ALISON.
Saturday, March 31, 2:00--3:30pm.

A mudra is a hand gesture that directs energy through the body--different positions of your fingers bring about specific healing results. In “The Art of Mudra,” we will work with hand gestures that can be applied therapeutically, (i.e mudras for headache, congestion, or frustration) and mudras to meditate upon with affirmations, to generate different energies through the nadis (energy channels). We will also practice and observe the powerful effect a mudra can have when applied in conjunction with our yoga postures (asanas).
Workshop format: 30 minutes learning about several mudras,lecture-style, plus 1 hour flow yoga with mudra practice.
Tuition: $18 if preregistered, $23 at the door. No refunds or transfers after 3/24.
BACKBENDING: TURNING FEAR INTO LOVE - HEATHER
Sunday, April 15, 2:00pm-4:00pm

In Medieval times, castles were built to provide safety from impending enemy attacks. The people living inside may have felt safe and secure but at times must have longed to roam free outside the stonewalls and experience a life of adventure and discovery. Our hearts are often shielded like fortresses with defense mechanisms that ward off pain and suffering. As a result, we miss out on the love and joy that exists beyond the boundaries of our past hurts and struggles. Opening up the front of the body is like lowering the drawbridge to allow the fear that has been held captive within to be released.
Through the process of working into poses like Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel) and Pincha Mayurasana (scorpion) we will strengthen our core and build the confidence we need to go out into our lives and live with more courage, freedom and ultimately more love. In this workshop we will use the tools of pranayama, kriya and bhanda work to break through the tough exterior around our hearts and awaken to the explorers the exist within us.!
Tuition: $35 per person, pre-registered. Add $5 at the door. Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferrable after 4/8/12.
WHEELS OF FORTUNE - WITH HEATHER
Saturday, May 19, 2:00pm-4:00pm

Within each chakra wheel, spinning vortexes of energy exist a hidden code that, when unlocked, can awaken a dormant aspect of our divine consciousness. Like the contestants on a game show, we will use clues, transmitted from our bodies and our emotions during the yogic practices, to gain insight into where we may be holding on to old beliefs, unnecessary thought patterns and destructive habits. This information can then be used to transform what may have appeared to be a bunch of disconnected thoughts, sensations and emotions into free flowing energy guiding our way towards the ultimate prize; enlightenment in this lifetime.!
Tuition: $35 per person, pre-registered. Add $5 at the door. Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferrable after 5/12/12.
