Upcoming Workshops
When the body flows like running water, it is always renewed, always fresh. This is true freedom.
Integrating strength training, energy cultivation, and open awareness, Yoga of Energy Flow is a unique and transformative yoga method. We will work with breath, movement, asana, and mental focus to experience simple but powerful ways to balance the flow of life force in our body, mind, and spirit. As tension melts, we tune to the inner dance and the heart begins to sing; we "flow" and the life energy of Prana flows through us, connecting us to heaven and earth, sun and moon, and all of nature.
With partner stretching and Shiatsu Massage, we will open blocked areas in the body, bringing harmony, lightness and joy to our being. The partner stretching draws on a modern stretching technique called PNF/resistance stretching, while Shiatsu Massage involves gentle finger and hand pressure, acupressure release points, and comfortable joint manipulations. This is an unbeatable combination, which reduces muscle tension, increases flexibility, enhances circulation, helps alleviate lower back pain, and improves balance and coordination. In the end you will feel more relaxed and energized, guaranteed! Feel free to attend alone or with a friend.

While yoga has its roots in Indian Vedic scriptures, Qi Gong grew out of the Chinese Taoist pursuit of longevity. In this workshop we will explore the Taoist concept of “effortless flow” through Qi Gong exercises, and then bring the same ease of motion into sequences from Yoga of Energy Flow. While the movements in both forms are graceful and gentle, the effects are powerful, detoxifying the body while increasing strength, flexibility, and peace of mind.
You will learn:
• Breathing exercises to enhance life energy
• Qi Gong exercises to open the meridians
• Meditative flow in yoga sequences
• Concentration techniques for mental clarity

Celebrate the first day of spring as joyful growth begins anew! The days are lengthening and warmer, the buds are starting to open and we are moving into a cycle of growth, exploration, and wonder. Emerging from the heaviness of winter our energy awakens and we prepare to grow in new and miraculous ways.
In Chinese medicine, spring is ruled by the wood element; in this workshop we will work with qigong, vinyasa, pranayama, asana, and chanting meditation, in a practice that cultivates the wood element for flexibility and the clarity of vision to see ones true direction.
