Sunday, October 4, 2009: Yoga Sadhana with Mirella Nicholson
(Teacher Bio...)
- Opening with the chanting of mantras
- Introduction to mantra meditation. How to meditate using mantra.
- We'll flow through a meditative asana practice which will include pranayama.
- Once we have calmed the mind through mantra and calmed the body with asana and pranayama we will meditate together.
Experience the bliss of a traditional yoga sadhana. Asana practice without meditation is "like preparing a beautiful meal, setting the table and then walking away without eating it."
Sunday, December 6, 2009: Chakra Balancing Practice and Meditation with Cari
(Teacher Bio...)
- Cari will lead an asana balancing class with a focus on each of the seven chakras, the sacred energetic gateways to healing and wholeness.
- When a chakra is blocked and the energy does not flow harmoniously through it, the result is an imbalance that is manifested in all areas of life.
- Through conscious breathing and yoga postures, the class will focus on bringing awareness to, opening and releasing blocked energy channels in your system. We will follow the physical practice with a chakra balancing meditation.
At the end of the practice, you will have an understanding of the importance of these energy channels in everyday life, assess where you may experience blockages, and leave the workshop feeling exhilarated.
