| In this training we will work on skills you can develop as a teacher to
make yoga more accessible to beginners. We will work on teaching poses
in a clear and straightforward way with a focus on safety and alignment
and provide students with the necessary foundations for a mindful and
intelligent practice. In addition, we will work on proper prop usage
and modifying/adapting poses for people who are struggling with
strength, flexibility, injury or chronic conditions.

Yin Yoga Workshop
Saturday, 8/21/2010
Yoga Chai
11:00 am - 1:00 pm
suggested donation: $20
Yin yoga
provides the
perfect balance to your active (yang) yoga practice. Yin
utilizes long-held floor poses, meditation and breath
work to target the connective tissues of the body—the ligaments, tendons
and
cartilage. Working on these
connective tissues can help to increase flexibility and decrease
stagnant
energy in the body. Years of a
dedicated asana practice will make anyone healthier, stronger, and more
flexible, but at some point the muscles will have reached their limit of
flexibility.
New depths in postures, deeper ranges of motion, or an increased flow of
energy
may only be achievable by focusing on the deeper tissues of the body. This deep practice is gentle, yet
intense, helping students not only to open the body, but also to
cultivate the
ability to observe the body and the mind and stay with sensation.
This is a donation class. All proceeds will go towards Megan's project to develop an adaptive yoga manual and teacher training for Anahata International teachers on the ground in Rwanda. Please bring cash/check. We recommend $20 but any amount is welcome! No pre-registration required.
When the Effortful Effort Becomes Effortless: A Labor Day Workshop
Monday, 9/6/2010
Flow Yoga Center
10 am - noon
suggested donation: $25
In this workshop we will do 60 minutes of active vinyasa and pranayama and 30 minutes of restorative poses followed by a 30 minute yoga nidra practice. In his discussion of pranayama in The Yoga Sutras, Patanjali outlines four modes: inhalation, exhalation, the inhalation-retention and exhalation-retention, and when the effortful effort becomes effortless through asana. When we begin our practice it is deliberate and requires much effort, but when we achieve mastery it becomes effortless.
In honor of Labor Day, which is a day of rest, we will explore how we can bring more effortlessness into our asana and pranayama practices through principles of alignment in the physical and energetic body.
Appropriate for students comfortable in Flow 1 or Flow 2.
