WALKING LESSONS: Take Your Bliss With You
(coming early Spring 2011)
CORE CLARITY
(Not currently scheduled)
Using the supported poses of Svaroopa® yoga, this three hour yoga immersion will help you to identify and release some of the tight, stuck places throughout the core which cloud your vision and keep you from tapping into your vast, innate reserves of energy and courage.
You will gain greater clarity by cleaning out the "undigested material," both physical and mental, that clutters the path to the authentic Self. You will also improve digestion by creating more space for your internal organs, using your abdominal muscles more efficiently, and massaging the abdominal organs. Eat a light, early lunch.
YOGA FOR YOUR BACK
(Not currently scheduled)
Reduce back pain, improve flexibility, and relieve stress with this four week series. You will learn two home practice sequences designed to unravel the core tensions in the spine. This will help release muscle spasms in the back and create more space between the vertebrae. Let go of old aches and pains and expand your life.
STANDING TALL: Lean into your bones, find your strength
(Not currently offered)
Applying the principles of Svaroopa® yoga to the basic skill of standing, this three hour immersion will help you to release your spine by finding the proper support of your bones, leg muscles, and abdominals.
Discover a deeper sense of balance, stamina, and inner strength that you can carry with you into your everyday life.
BALANCE
(Not currently scheduled)
Bring a greater sense of balance to your life by exploring the seated and standing poses of Svaroopa® yoga. Discover your innate balance by softening into your inner support rather than tightening to create a balance point. Through the support of your bones, and leg and abdominal muscles, learn to release the tension along the spine. Developing physical balance leads to greater emotional calm, steadiness of mind and a more balanced life.
CLASSICAL POSES
(Not currently scheduled)
Take your Svaroopa® yoga to the next level as we explore some of the classical Hatha yoga poses in this three hour immersion. Deepen your understanding of the relationship between releasing the spine and increasing abdominal, arm, and leg strength. We will use familiar Svaroopa yoga concepts to bring us into the fullest expression of these more challenging poses.
SPINAL FLEXIBILITY
(Not currently scheduled)
In this three hour workshop, you will use the supported poses of Svaroopa® yoga to identify and release some of the chronically tight, stuck areas in your spine while creating greater ease and fluidity along its entire length. When you release the spine, physical aches and pains decrease, vitality increases, and your mind becomes calmer and more peaceful.
