The Lymphatic Web: Revitalizing the Immune System, Emotional Body, and Happiness Pathways
CODE:IBF
The immune system is part of an intricate web whose filaments reach deep into the nervous system and emotional body. Flushing the lymph activates parasympathetic channels, boosts the immune system, calms the brain, improves sleep, strengthens positive emotional pathways, and builds resistance to negative emotions. Using Integrative Yoga Therapeutics, we’ll explore ways to flush toxins from all components of the Lymphatic Web, enhancing physical, emotional, and energetic life-force and creating the blueprint for emotional well-being. Bring a bolster or two to three blankets, a strap, an eye pillow, and two blocks. Asana, pranayama, restorative yoga, lecture.
ANDREW HARVEY
Sacred Marriage Divine Feminine and Masculine
CODE: IAH
Drawing on the vision of the sacred marriage in Hinduism, Sufism, Buddhism and Christianity Andrew Harvey will present his vision of what he calls evolutionary mysticism. A mysticism that enables and makes possible the birth of the divine in matter, in the body and in sacredly inspired action. He will give 5 major practices from the different traditions including Tonglen, Metta, a chakra meditation from the Hindu tradition and 2 sacred heart meditations from the Sufi and Christian tradition. He will help all those who attend to experience the great joy of the sacred marriage and root their inner and outer lives in its passion, peace and power.
PAUL GRILLEY
ANATOMY FOR YOGA
CLASS CODE: IPG
To analyze why a yoga student can or cannot do a posture we must learn to look past the surface of the body to see it as a moving skeleton. Learning to identify which joints are involved in a yoga posture and determining their ranges of motion is essential if we are to understand why every person practices poses differently.

JourneyDance™ Workshop Intensive: The Chakra Flow
CODE: ITB
How does it feel to be in balance, physically, emotionally, energetically? Where in your life are you overdoing it and what needs a little more attention? In this day-long JourneyDance through the chakras, we explore our relationship to our energy centers through movement and dance. We dance our firey rhythmic beats, rise and fall in waves of melodic passionate pulsation. We dive into our ocean of emotion, we create from our deepest prayerful tones. We express our funky weird desires to let go, and inspire our hearts to lead us. We feel our sensual aliveness as we cultivate an attitude of gratitude for life. We will journey up the chakra in the path of liberation.
1st chakra: We dance in the earth, take the time to slow down, roll and feel our bodies. We get grounded, release into mother earth and feel supported. There is an opportunity for a deep introspection and letting go of stress and pressures. How much can we let go? Do we feel safe and self-sufficient?
2nd chakra: We dance in our sensual water bodies. We create space to enjoy fluid movement. We sense where we need opening and flow. We explore our desire to take pleasure in feeling. Do we hide our sensuality, do we embrace it?
3rd chakra: We dance the fire and do ritual of the shaman warrior/goddess. There is power of
release, purge, and sweat. Do we like our warrior? Do we own our goddess? Are we in our power?
4th chakra: We dance the heart; we take the time just to listen to our heart center, to express what is held back, and to ask for what we need. Are we open to love? Both giving and receiving?
5th chakra: We sound from our authentic voice. We sing our truth and share the power of voice. We see where we have closed up and what wants to open.
6th chakras: The dance is prayer, visualization, painting with our bodies. We are praying for our selves and our world.
7th chakras: We give our attention to source energy, feel our connection, recognize the divinity within. We give gratitude and receive in the blessing circuit.
Come and Shine your brightest as you bless your old beliefs and let them go, lifting your vibration to the next level and living your life to the highest potential. The JourneyDance Chakra Flow takes you deep, takes you light, takes you where you need to go to feel and embrace how beautiful you are, to accept and approve of you, and to remember to live by loving you.
