Restorative Yoga
& Pranayama
April 26, 2008
9 to 6 p.m. Queens

Restorative Yoga is an ideal practice for times when energy is depleted and during recovery from injury or illness. Modifying classical postures with the use of props, allows the body to fall into a state of deep relaxation inducing receptivity to the healing effects of this practice. Supported forward and backward bending, inversions, twists, and conscious breathing are all part of this restorative workshop.

Credits for the Workshop:
Techniques - 6 hours
Philosophy – 2 hours
Requirements for workshop:
Bolster, 2 blankets, yoga belt, eye pillow. (Some are available at the studio)

Hip Openers
Karma Yoga - Bhagavat Gita
May 24, 2008
Queens: 9 a.m - 6 p.m.

The pelvis, lower back and hips create the foundation and the structure that supports the upper body.
Working with the hips can help to release tension, unblock energy and increase mobility of the lower back and pelvis, reducing stiffness or pain.
A sequence of postures will help you to accomplish this, bringing you to a new level of comfort.

Karma yoga is the most important part of the Gita. It is the art of action in this world. If we follow these ancient rules, we would succeed in all of our endeavors.

Inversions
Chetan Nidra
July 26, 2008
Queens: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.

The inverted postures rejuvenate the entire body and soothe the nerves. The effects of gravity are reversed
as it flows through the body in different angles and directions, moving the organs into different space, and stimulating the flow of blood into the head and brain area. Learn the fundamentals of inversions and how to practice and teach them safely. We will utilize strength building postures and breath awareness, then build on these elements and move into headstand, handstand, shoulderstand and arm balance.

We will explore the subtle art of teaching conscious sleep or deep relaxation.
