SAVASANA
The Importance of Playing Dead  :)

with Lisa Hubler, CCH
 



Friday, March 2, 2012
7:30 - 9:30pm

Savasana is often cited as both the most difficult and most important of all asanas, yet is also the most neglected and misunderstood. Savasana may be the only time during your week that you are quiet and still, not striving, doing, going or sleeping, but just being present and consciously relaxing. It is meditation in and of itself. Savasana is an invaluable gift to both students and teachers who seek their own inner peace and/or wish to help enhance the lives of others.
 
In this workshop, Savasana specialist Lisa Hubler will take you deeply
into the theory, practice and experience of Savasana.

Explore
o   Truly liberating deep relaxation through Savasana
             o   Powerful healing effects of Savasana on entire mind body
                       o   Techniques in guiding others in Savasana for maximum benefit
                                o   How to utilize Savasana and sankalpa to seed profound life changes

Understanding the fundamentals of the tri dosha is tantamount to understanding Ayurvedic wisdom. Ayurveda identifies three types of energy or functional principles that are present in everyone and everything. We will focus on: Vata, the energy of movement; Pitta, the energy of digestion or metabolism and Kapha, the energy of lubrication and structure. A self-test will be handed out to take home to understand how these doshas manifest in us. As students of Ayurveda, we need to study and memorize but also contemplate and meditate.

The Bhagavad Gita, (Sanskrit: or Song of God) is a sacred Hindu scripture, a concise guide to Hindu theology, whose insights reach beyond the scope of religion. It is considered among the most important texts in the history of literature and philosophy as it offers humanity a practical, self-contained guide to life. The Gita has been praised by Gandhi, Aldous Huxley, Albert Einstein, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Carl Jung and Herman Hesse.

The content of the Gita is the conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield as Arjuna confronts the confusion and moral dilemma around fighting his own cousins. Arjuna’s situation, like our own, is unique to him, but Krishna’s explanations of Arjuna’s mental and emotional pain makes it quite clear that the methods for understanding it, and finding solution is universal.

ASHTANGA YOGA INTROSPECTIVE
with Nancy Goodstein



Sunday, April 1, 2012
1:00-4:00pm


TEACHERS:  Earn 3 continuing education units toward your Yoga Alliance renewal.

Ashtanga yoga, as taught to Sri K. Pattabhi Jois by his teacher, and as he passes down to us is a set system of poses linked by movement and breath. Power Yoga is said to be based on it, and while both are physically demanding, Ashtanga in it's true form is hugely different. Ashtanga has a scientific design, which is malleable to include those of all physical abilities, and that is structured to help the practitioner not only achieve fitness and health of the body, but stillness and well being of the mind.  In this workshop, safety of the body and stillness of the mind will be used as a means of attaining the poses, and considered of higher importance.

SANSKRIT  PRIMER WORKSHOP
with Shari Goodhartz, ERYT-500



Saturday, May 19, 2012
1:00-5:00 p.m.

Continuing Education Workshop Series* for teachers or students interested in deepening their practice.

Sanskrit is the original language of yoga, and though there are few people in the world who speak it conversationally, it’s one of the most amazing languages ever developed, because pretty much all of it was intentional. It’s also a perfect vehicle for spiritual texts (the word Sanskrit means "perfected"),
since most words have multiple meanings that are open to interpretation based on
both context and personal experience.
