Upcoming American Workshops
Saturday, March 22 ~ Yoga and Qigong: The Dance of Heaven and Earth
Yogis & Yoginis Yoga, Brooklyn, NY
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
Register Sunday, March 23, ~ Kundalini Yoga: Meditation Into Ecstasy,
Yogis & Yoginis Yoga, Brooklyn, NY
We are part of eternity, a tremendously luminous experience of ecstasy that is beyond words. ~ Osho
With dynamic movement and strong breathwork, we will awaken the power of Kundalini energy. Then, with mudras and inner locks — or bandhas —we will channel this heightened pranic energy for inner radiance and higher consciousness, finishing with “Meditation into Ecstasy,” an important breath meditation for the 6th Chakra wisdom center. “Celestial Communications,” a way to chant with movements and mudras, will also be taught.
All levels are welcome; beginners and advanced students will receive helpful tips for an effective home practice. If most of your yoga studies have been about asana, this workshop will round out your practice. The "power of the breath" will help your life like nothing else
Register Friday, April 18, 7:30- 9:45 PM, Partner Stretching & Thai Yoga Massage
Down Under Yoga, Newton, MA
Partner-assisted stretching increases flexibility while Thai Yoga Massage reduces muscle tension, both enhancing relaxation and stress reduction.
With partner stretching and Thai Yoga Massage, we will open blocked areas in the body, bringing harmony, lightness, and joy to our being. Partner stretching incorporates PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) resistance techniques to deepen flexibility, while Thai Yoga Massage uses gentle pressure, acupressure points, and soothing joint manipulations. Together, these practices create a powerful combination to relieve muscle tension, enhance circulation, improve flexibility, and ease lower back pain.
Register Saturday, May 3, 2:00-4:00 PM, Kundalini Yoga: Meditation For Total Mental Balance
Repose Yoga, Newburyport, MA
With dynamic movement and strong breath-work, we will awaken the power of Kundalini energy. Then, with mudras and inner locks — or bandhas —we will channel this heightened pranic energy to cultivate inner radiance and elevate consciousness. The practice will conclude with "Meditation for Total Mental Balance," a Kundalini Yoga breath meditation designed to totally balance the psyche, aid in recovery from depression and anxiety, and cultivate peace of mind and equanimity in our relationships. All levels are welcome; beginners and advanced students will receive helpful tips for an effective home practice. If your yoga journey has primarily focused on asana, this workshop will bring a fresh dimension to your practice.
