Bhakti Vinyasa

South Granville Oct. 22, 2010  |  7:00 - 9:00PM

"Bhakti" is a devotional yoga practice, where we get out of "doing yoga postures" and step into BEING A YOGI. In the Bhakti Vinyasa Practice, we will use the simple structure of a vinyasa flow class to move past the outer layers of the body and connect with our intuition. We connect with- yoke with-have a yoga-union with the deepest part of ourselves.

Bhakti Vinyasa is a way to seamlessly learn about dristi, the gunas, Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras" and the chakra system. We will also address the value of setting sankalpa (intention) at the beginning of each practice and touch on the meaning and significance of some of the deities in the Hindu pantheon. The journey of yoga is from the outside in.

If you are ready to take your practice to the next level, Bhakti Vinyasa is the practice for you.

Detox

Northshore Elements Oct. 23, 2010  |  1:00 - 3:00PM

Mind, Body and Soul

Most of us are aware that we need to do some sort of cleanse for the body. The food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe all contain toxins that lead to lethargy and ultimately some illnesses. Much of this can be prevented by consciously cleansing the body through yogic techniques such as asana, pranayama, mudra and bandha.

In this workshop we will not only address what contaminates our bodies, but also our minds and spirits as well. Contemporary living can wear on us, and we are not immune to the effects of technology, travel and work and family stresses. Take time to detox, to let go of what no longer serves you and emerge feeling refreshed.

Yin-Yang Yoga

Flow Wellness Oct. 24, 2010  |  2:00 - 4:00PM

Most of us are looking for balance in our lives, but we don't know how to get it, or why we fell out of balance in the first place.

The first hour of this practice will be the "yang" energy in which we will heat the body through sun salutations and standing postures gracefully put together into a vinyasa flow sequence. This time is designed to burn off impurities, to literally melt away the tension and stress that resides in the pockets of the body.

The second half of the practice will take the open cleansed body through long hip openers, restorative postures, pranayama and meditation. This process will rejuvenate the body leaving you feeling peaceful, passionate and playful!
