YOGA
PHILOSOPHY:
An Introductory Workshop
Presented by Shari Goodhartz.
ERYT-500
Sunday, February
14, 2010
10:00am - 1:00pm
TEACHERS: Earn 3 continuing education units
toward your Yoga Alliance renewal.
IMPORTANT INFO!
THS WORKSHOP IS NOT BEING HELD AT YOGA AT THE VILLAGE.
THE CLASS LOCATION IS:
Right On Programs Inc., 522 E Broadway #101, Glendale, CA 91205 (818)
240-1683
One
of the main texts of yogic philosophy is a series of short phrases (the
word sutra means “thread”) originally passed down orally from
teacher to student, one-on-one, for untold thousands of years. Each
thread was packed with information that the student and teacher would
unfold and discuss to reveal their deepest meaning, in a quest to
understand the nature of suffering and eventually to overcome it.
Only one sutra deals with the postures that we do in yoga classes,
the rest have to do with the workings of consciousness itself, which is
the ultimate issue of yoga practice.
This workshop will present multiple translations of a few, select
sutras, since the translator’s perspective greatly influences the
“spin” on the text. By comparing different translations, we can assess
for ourselves what the deeper meaning of the sutras might be.

Iyengar Introspective
An Introduction to Philosophy and Alignment
with
Scott Hobbs
Sunday, February 21, 2010
1:00-4:00pm
*TEACHERS: Earn 3 continuing education units toward your Yoga Alliance
renewal.
The practice of Iyengar yoga
focuses on proper body alignment which allows the body to develop
harmoniously in an anatomically correct way, as well as guiding the mind
into the proper channels
to make the body a fit vehicle for meditation. Because all bodies have
different weaknesses and strengths, Iyengar Yoga applies the use of props
(wooden blocks, chairs, blankets and belts)
to help the body into the correct positions so that one can work in a
range of motion
that is both safe and effective.

Ayurvedic
Medicine: The Science of Life
An Introduction and Guide to Health
with Guy Gabriel,
ERYT
Saturday, March 6, 2010
9:00am-12:00 Noon
TEACHERS: Earn 3 continuing education units toward your Yoga
Alliance renewal.
IMPORTANT INFO!
THIS WORKSHOP IS NOT BEING HELD AT YOGA AT THE VILLAGE.
THE CLASS LOCATION IS:
Padre, Inc., 401 S. Glenoaks Blvd.
(at Verdugo), Burbank 91502, 818-843-7375
Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the
oldest healing science. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means, the science or wisdom
of life. Originated in India more then 5000 years ago, Ayurveda is an
ancient philosophy based on a deep understanding of eternal truths about
the human body, mind and spirit. It stems from the
ancient vedic culture and was taught for thousands of years in an oral
tradition from accomplished masters to their disciples.
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.

ASHTANGA YOGA INTROSPECTIVE
with Nancy Goodstein
Sunday, March 28, 2010
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.
