Workshops (scheduled by request)
These are the workshops I would like to offer. Short classes are 2 hours long and donation-priced at between $22-$33+. Some classes can be afternoon, full day, or full weekend events as requested. Contact me about your interests and we will pick a Saturday or Sunday afternoon for any of the following:
The Art & Science of Pranayama: Learn how to increase pranic flow throughout the body via the breath, which results in more energy, more clarity, and healing of body, mind, and spirit. Participants will be able to sample a variety of differnet pranayama techniques and learn when to use them.
Enneagram Introduction: An overview of the Enneagram system of personality.
The Somatic Enneagram - Balancing Your Centers: How to bring Yoga and Enneagram together for personal growth. Based on my book Yoga Nine Ways.
Me and My Chair: For teachers, out-of-shape beginners, students dealing with an injury or physical challenge; come learn all the many ways a chair can be used in your yoga practice, whether you need to sit in it, hold onto it, or lay around on it.
In the Flow: Vinyasa, the Art of Sequencing: Vinyasa is a fairly recent style of yoga that emphasizes connecting breath and movement. Vinyasa literally means "to sequence", and is a wonderfully creative and fun flowing practice.
Yoga Mala, 108 Sun Salutations: Often done at Solstices, 4 sets of 27 gently-led Sun Salutations, with breaks in between, bring everyone into a deeply satisfying meditative state. It can be made as physically challenging or not, as desired. Some students opt to simply breathe in unison. We will start with an overview of alignment details and levels of challenge.
The 8-Limbed Path of Yoga: From Ethical Principles and Lifestyle habits, to the Root Chakra and Basic Standing Poses, to the experience of Deep Meditation. This class is an overview of the History, Lineages, and Philosophy of Yoga.
Bakti, the Yoga of Devotion - Opening your Heart and Finding your Voice: Ever wanted to learn to chant in Sanscrit, or even in English? Ever wanted to get more comfortable with your voice or expressing yourself? Come learn a variety of sound techniques and chants. We will end in an OM circle.
Sacred Movement - moving freely and intuitively to specially selected inspiring music. The focus is inward and meditative and can look more like yoga or more like dance. The only judge is yourself, and it is quite a joy to learn to turn that inner judge off.
Sacred Circle Dances - learn basic steps of circle dances from around the world. Movements are simple so the experiences become very meditative. This builds fun group energy and is easy for everybody.
Sufi Dances of Universal Peace and/or Universal Worship - Similar to the Circle Dances, but you get to learn songs and chants from around the world. In Universal Worship a candle is lit for each Spiritual Tradition along with a chant, dance, reading or prayer.
