SPECIAL EVENTS

From thought to word to action, every aspect of who we are shapes and co-creates our reality and our world. Yoga gives us the opportunity and tools for practicing and embodying peace, harmony, balance, strength, and compassion. The Spiritual Activation Conversation is an opportunity to dive deeper into what is possible when we take the Yoga principles we practice on the mat and embody them in our lives and in our world. We are all Divine beings capable of inspiring and powerful lives beyond what we can even imagine. Spiritual Activation principles helps us uncover, unlock, and unleash our most potent, loving, and joyfilled potential in transforming ourselves and our world.

Sacred JourneyDance™: Love your Body, Love your Life!

Open to the joy of life. You are the Prayer: your body, your movement, your breath. You are the God and Goddess: your passion, your emotions, your sensual heart. You are the Warrior: your power, your intentions, your life’s journey.

JourneyDance™ moves you through deep, personal exploration into a loving, intimate relationship with body, mind, and source energy. Toni Bergins’ sensual and exhilarating union of dance, visualization, voice, and ritual calls us to get funky and divine! In a shamanic style, Toni carries us through an intentional and seamless flow of guided ritual and free expression. We embody our physical temple, unleashing animal energies and awakening sensuality. We connect with the inner shaman creator to clear the mind’s clogging clutter and make space for the abundance of joy available to us. We explore our inner realms of the heart, listening deeply. We open our voices authentically and empower our truth. We express ourselves as soul and ride our pranic chi flow into prayer. As we create this powerful dancing ritual together, we open the body and mind to our highest vibration. We dance the chakras, the elements, invoke archetypal energies, and our power animals. JourneyDance for nourishment, energy, presence, and prayer.

As a solo artist, Rara is known for his uplifting original downtempo music... with Shaman's Dream he has co-produced both music for yoga and for ecstatic dance. The evening will thus take participants on a journey of sounds from across the globe, blending live instrumental performances with pre-written electronic music that Rara DJ's from his laptop. The ensemble will feature Craig Kohland on percussion, Dominic Dean Breaux on flutes and sax, and Rara on electric guitar and vocals. Devotional, and guaranteed to make you dance your soul into total bliss. Rara will also play some of his more recent works from Dial M for Mantra... a remix project with yoga music pioneer Jai Uttal, as well as remixes of Deva Premal and Donna DeLory.

Gather in the Sacred Circle of morning stillness and friendship. Wake up your Chakras and your body with meditation in movement, often called the Body Poem. Using Asana, Pranayama, Sacred Dance, chanting and song to raise the sun (Shakti) and light in your life.

Through breath and movement in yoga, we stimulate blood and energy flow through acupuncture points and channels to nurture and prepare the body for pregnancy. Acupuncture and Yoga are time-tested healing arts that complement each other beautifully, philosophically and scientifically, improving fertility by removing obstructions and gently directing energy to reproductive organs. In this class we will explore these ancient arts, the scientific research behind them, and learn how our yoga poses and sequences can open our bodies and minds to the miracle of childbirth.
