CODE:F1TB

Energy and connection nourish our body and soul. Deepen your awareness through embodiment exercises, energy work, and dance. Explore connection to source energy and the flow of others, as you increase your intuition and trust your feelings. Embodiment is the journey of getting into our body, our core, in order to feel fully grounded, connected, present, and open. We will practice a series of energizing warm-ups, movement patterns, developmental postures, and core activation exercises. Through this awareness and connection, we create a safe and comfortable home for our emotional, sensual, and energy bodies. Experiencing embodiment, we can move from our whole self -- from "core" center -- and breathe from every cell, moving consciously, feeling, being present. When we are present, we can create consciously, improvise, and be in the moment with ourselves and our lives. Our every breath feels like dancing, our every stretch feels like a mile, and our contraction feels like squeezing and washing all of our organs. The dance can cleanse us on all levels from the physical to the energetic. We will then move into the energy work series. Access our intuition and discover ourselve as a powerful energetic beings. We will work in partners and alone to expand our heart connection.

MARK WHITWELL
The deep dimensions of Yoga


CLASS CODE: F2MW

"Truth" is not something you have to search for; it is present in you as you, the life that is you. Yoga arose in ancient wisdom cultures as the non-dual understanding that all ordinary conditions are not and cannot be separate from Source. Mark will take you deep into yoga’s roots to the shamanic past of the Upanishads, when yoga was practiced as a means of acknowledging and celebrating the very source of life. With this tantric understanding, your yoga can begin. There is a right Yoga for you. It is your direct intimacy with nurturing Source. Asana is tantra, hatha yoga, strength that is receiving, the union of all opposites, left with right, above to below, inhalation with exhalation, male with female within, without, spirit with form, source and seen. No more, no less, practice as whole body prayer to Life, the easy surrender to the life current for everyone. (Lecture and practice)

LES LEVENTHAL
Liberate Your Hips and Free Your Spine
Vinyasa/Flow Workshop for All Levels

CODE:S1LL

To open the hips, we begin by cultivating awareness of the challenges we hold in our hips and pelvic region.  We can begin to relax and strengthen the quads, the inner and outer muscles of the thighs and stretch the hamstrings.  While unlocking this area of our bodies we will also free the spine with twists which can infuse the body with vitality and well being and release enormous amounts of tension.  Twists are associated with toning and rejuvenating the abdominal and pelvic regions.  When these regions are engaged, blood flow naturally increases and toxins are released – a natural internal massage.  Relaxing and strengthening these areas releases lower back tension and frees limitation in the neck and shoulders.

"Dundaal Yoga" a warriors journey into breath, sound and movement.

The relationship between sound and breath is such that in ancient languages these two words are often the same.  As we breathe we give rise to the potential to create sound from within.  Our bodies are precise instruments that when empowered with breath can channel divine sounds capable of healing the fracture between body, mind and spirit.

In this class, Rara will lead students through basic, intermediate and advanced breathing practices designed not only to support the voice, but also as a tremendous tool for amplifying your yogic practice.  The class will teach the basics of toning, over toning and how to use mantra as a powerful method of meditation and relaxation.  From there, Rara and the members of Shaman's Dream will take students on a sound journey - whereby participants will learn to deeply let go and surrender into the support of music with pure healing intention.

Yoga and Recovery – The 12 Steps

CODE:Su1LL

Whether you are a member of a 12 step recovery program or not, most of us are looking to recover or heal from something in our lives, whether it be from patterns of behavior we are looking to change or from relationships that keep going in a direction that prevent us from receiving the love and intimacy that we truly desire.

In this workshop we will explore different behavior patterns that lead to isolating behavior and how distractions such as drugs, alcohol, food, smoking, sex and shopping separate us from the Atman, the divine, true uncluttered nature of ourselves.  We will discuss addictions to drama, adrenaline and focusing on other people’s problems (co-dependency).

Then, we will review the 12 steps of recovery to gain insight on some of our old habits (samskaras), some of which are so engrained that we might not even be aware of them or that they compromise our self worth or step over loved one’s boundaries.

We will move through a sequence of poses while invoking each of the 12 steps that allows us to practice being with the unmanageability of early recovery and flowing through to ultimately taste the bliss of emotional sobriety and altruism, incorporating yoga into our recovery on and off the mat.

From the Taramahura Indians in Northern Mexico whose most elderly citizens run for miles without thinking twice... to the amazing Moken people of Myanmar whose folklore and instincts enabled them to survive the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the world is filled with indigenous tribes and inspiring shamans who defy science and implore us all to the tap a deeper strength. In this 2 hour vinyasa flow experience, David Romanelli will touch upon a rarely accessed human strength that the yogis call "vajra" and Westerners call "passion." A great one said, "The sword will always be defeated by the spirit." To the impassioned soul, the world is yours for the taking.

DAVID ROMANELLI
Yoga + Chocolate (V 3.0)

CODE:Su3DR

In the West, we associate love with the quality of our relationship. The yogis believe love moves naturally through the universe. If you are open, love moves through you. If you're closed, it doesn't. Rumi said, "Don't seek for love. Seek to find and remove the barriers you've built against love."  In this 2 hour vinyasa flow class set to inspiring music from the Grateful Dead to Erykah Badu, David Romanelli will cover issues related to love including the broken heart, the pain chamber, the obsessive tendencies of the newly in-love, and much more. If you're wondering why the heck would you listen to David Romanelli about such issues, consider reading the chapter in his book where his soon-to-be ex girlfriend receives an adjustment in the happy baby pose and loves it. His days in the pain chamber are long and hard. Maybe you too would like to celebrate love for all its pain and glory.

Shavasana – The Art and Science of relaxation!

CODE:Su3IA

Shavasana is the death experience from a yogic perspective. It is a pose for the complete relaxation most valued in yoga system. Through the deep concentration and enlightenment that Shavasana brings, we are able to release ourselves from ahamkara and relinquish all thoughts binding us to the ephemeral world. More importantly, this increased self-awareness helps us to remain detached and calm amidst the chaos of our daily, mundane lives. Despite its easy performance it is one of the most difficult of asanas to master. In this workshop explore the different modifications of Shavasana through a step by step descent into deep, beautiful stillness and bliss. Through guided visualization experience the pure release from all that binds you to the world. The class concludes with question and answer session

Let us all together embrace & experience our real selves through this guided Shavasana session and gracefully prepare ourselves for the future.
You may bring your blankets, eye pillows, extra cushions etc.
