Upcoming American Workshops
Saturday, December 7th, 2:30-4:30 PM, Yoga and Qigong: The Dance of Heaven and Earth
Repose Yoga, Newburyport, MA
When the body flows like running water, it is always renewed, always fresh. This is true freedom.
Explore the Taoist concept of “effortless flow” through Qigong exercises and then bring the same ease of motion into Yoga of Energy Flow yoga sequences. This immersion focuses on breathing exercises to enhance life energy, qigong practices to open the meridians, meditative flow in yoga sequences, and concentration techniques for mental clarity.
While yoga has its roots in the Vedic scriptures of India, Qigong grew out of the Chinese Taoist pursuit of longevity. The movements in both forms are graceful and gentle, with powerful effects that detoxify the body as they increase strength, flexibility, and peace of mind.
You will learn:
• Breathing exercises to enhance life energy
• Qigong exercises to open the meridians
• Meditative flow in yoga sequences
• Concentration techniques for mental clarity

Sunday, December 8th, 12:30 - 2:00 PM ~ Kundalini Yoga: Meditation for a Calm Heart
Down Under Yoga, Boston, MA
Love your heart, for this is the prize.
Prepare for the holiday season with a powerful Kundalini Yoga practice featuring the transformative “Meditation for a Calm Heart.” We’ll begin with dynamic movement and strong breathwork to awaken the Kundalini energy, followed by mudras and inner locks (bandhas) to channel this elevated pranic energy toward inner radiance and higher consciousness. The session will culminate in “Meditation for a Calm Heart,” a breath meditation focused on the heart center (4th chakra), which reduces stress while nurturing calmness and “loving-kindness” for ourselves and others. Open to all levels.
