YIN YOGA W/ ERIKA
VINYASA FLOW W/ LORI
This is an inversion workshop that will make you excited to go upside
down rather than fearful or dreadful! We will warm the body up and
focus the mind with simple Pranayama (breath techniques). We will open
the body up with some juicy Vinyasa Yoga (flow) "Lori Style" and then
we will explore a myriad of possibilities to turn the body upside
down, starting simple and advancing safely, reversing the flow of
blood, energy and gravity in the body. All levels are welcome.
Yin Yoga directly affects the deep layers of connective tissue in our joints (ligaments) by increasing their fluidity and in turn increasing both flexibility and range of motion. In addition to affecting the physical body in these poses we also affect our subtle energies (chi or prana) that run throughout energy pathways called meridians (or nadis). Floor poses are held for an extended period of time allowing for an inner awakening to occur through various forms of insight meditation and chakra balancing, harmonizing inner fear, courage, anger, compassion, anxiety, sadness, and joy. Yin is suitable for all levels and a delicious complementary practice to all "Yang" Vinyasa and Power Yoga practices.
REDEFINING BALANCE W/ ERIKA & LORI
This class will be an eclectic mix of acrobatic yoga and slackasana (slackline yoga), inpired by Erika's Yogaslacker family (www.yogaslackers.com). Together we will take an exploratory journey towards and past our perceived limitations in order to embody a true sense of balance, on and off our yoga mats.
MEDITATION W/ ROB
Yoga, Vendanta and Buddhism's central purpose is overcoming suffering and realizing moksha, liberation. By first exploring a Zen meditation then a yogic technique we can directly observe the difference between yoga's realization tat tvam asi (you are that) and the Buddhist no-self as differing paths aiming at the same goal. All levels are welcome.
HONEY FLOW W/ ERIKA
This class will focus on our inner guide, as it will be a delicious mix of slow vinyasa and yin yoga done while blindfolded. Tuning into our internal rhythms, we will learn to lean in, listen, and communicate with ourselves and our practice on a deeper level. All levels are welcome
HOOPING w/ SUNSHINE
This workshop will begin with a charkra balancing meditation and a mini hoop-asana practice to prepare our minds and bodies for the hoop. We will then experiment with practicing waist hooping, moving inside the hoop, and some off body moves. The learning curve of hooping is fast and fun... and you will be surprised at how quickly you will be able to do it well!
KIRTAN W/ EDDIE NATARAJ & FRIENDS
"Kirtan" is the ancient practice of call and response chanting. The chants are called "Mantras". The mantras represent universal energies in the form of sounds. These universal energies already lie within us, so when we chant the mantras, we awaken these universal energies. When we stir these energies, they purify our mind and subtle body (the space between the atoms) and leave one feeling clear and refreshed. A person does not need to know about yoga or kirtan to receive the benefits of mantras.
MEDITATIVE FLOW
Tobie will teach a mellow meditative pratice with attention towards cooling postures such as forward bends and inversions. Poses will be held to find ease and opening in the body. Be ready to feel energized and replenished!
