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.

Performed on a floor mat, both practitioner and client move
through four traditional positions; front, back, side and seated. Practiced in meditative
and dance-like movements,
Thai Massage oxygenates the blood, improves circulation, increases joint flexibility, massages internal organs, reduces stress, increases energy and facilitates mind/body/spirit balance.

FINDING THE POEM IN OHM
A Yoga/ Expressive Writing Workshop for Personal Transformation
with Leslie Stampler

Sunday, September 12, 2010
1:00pm-4:00pm

A yoga practice provides us with the opportunity to explore more than just our physical presence in the world. It can allow us to delve into our beliefs, our truths and our desires. A writing practice also presents us with these opportunities and the combination of yoga and writing is a powerful force that can start you on the path of personal transformation and/or deepen your existing yoga or writing practice. In this workshop the interplay between movement and words will flow easily.

Guided yoga postures and simple guided writing exercises will lead the participants to a place of balance, knowledge, awareness and joy. No yoga or writing experience needed!
