Restorative Workshop With Music

RESTORATIVE YOGA WORKSHOP WITH MUSIC

w/ Valerie Knopik & Bryna Réne

Date: Saturday, May 8th

Time: 1:00pm-3:30pm

Cost: $25.00

Discover the joys and benefits of a restorative yoga practice through this enlightening workshop with Valerie and Bryna!

As a society, we have very few habits that encourage balance between the extremes of fast-paced living and sheer exhaustion. Restorative yoga teaches us how to find that balance. In fact, when practiced regularly, restorative postures can help to heal the effects of chronic stress, enhance concentration, alleviate insomnia and anxiety, and promote a sense of overall well-being. Restorative yoga is also a perfect complement to a Vinyasa Yoga or Power Yoga practice, because it teaches us to actively relax, and facilitates integration of the body, mind, and spirit.This workshop will begin with a short discussion about restorative yoga, during which we’ll answer any questions about the practice. A short, warming flow will get things moving before we settle into a series of intense but supportive restorative poses to encourage active relaxation by opening your body and calming your mind. As the restorative series progresses, you’ll journey deeper into yourself, and relax into the sweet sounds of sacred chants and bhajans performed by Bryna.

This workshop is a perfect introduction to restorative yoga for anyone and everyone, regardless of prior yoga experience. Registration is open now. Don’t delay: Space is limited!

Ashtanga Foundation workshop

admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:40:32 +0000

Ashtanga Foundation workshop with Jill Manning

Date: Sunday, April 18th

Time: 2:00-5:00pm (3hrs)

Price: $35

Free
to those participating in the Ashtanga Foundation Series

About the Teacher:
Jill Manning has devoted herself to the study and practice of yoga since 1998. In June 2000 she received her initial certification from Integral Yoga Institute in New York City, but has gone on and continues to study with many of the world’s most revered living yoga masters, including Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, with whom she has spent fourteen weeks at his yoga shala during her 2006, 2007, and 2008 trips to Mysore, India. Jill’s other notable teachers and mentors include David Keil, Joan White and R. Sharath Rangaswamy.

A graduate of New York University, Jill has studied the intellectual aspects of yoga as well as the physical and spiritual ones. Her scholarly understanding of the Bhagavad-Gita and the Yoga Sutra’s, along with other Shastras, brings an important dimension to her own practice as well as her teaching style. During her weeks traveling throughout India, Jill immersed herself in the country’s culture (and the Great Ganga). She has studies Sanskrit with Manorama and with Sri Lakshmish Bhat of Mysore, India, to further round her understanding of the yoga tradition and to place an asana practice in a larger context for herself and her students.

Jill co-taught Wake Up Yoga’s 250-hour Yoga Alliance registered teacher training program from 2004-2009. Currently Jill is preparing for her fourth pilgrimage to India this December further steeping in the Yoga Tradition and connecting to the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga. Recently relocated to Providence, RI, Jill is excited to bring Ashtanga Yoga to this community, and strongly believes that everyone can benefit from this practice. Jill makes her new home in the Armory District with her husband Mike and two dogs Charlie, and Angie.

About the Mysore Method
Yoga, for thousands of years, has been taught from teacher to student on a one-to-one basis. Traditionally, a student has been taken through his or her own development at an appropriate pace. This method is still used in Mysore, India where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois taught this method, and his grandson, R. Sharath Rangaswamy, teaches today.
In Mysore classes, students are taught individually in a group setting. Beginners are introduced to a set sequence of poses little by little and are encouraged to remember the sequence as they progress. More experienced practitioners are guided to deepen and further develop their practice, as they more through each series. Thus each student works within the traditional series, but with integrity at his or her own pace.

The consistency of sequence in Ashtanga yoga allows students to focus on the sound and rhythm of the breath rather than on the voice of a teacher, making practice a moving meditation and allowing a deepening connection to the practice. As students advance through the Ashtanga series’ at a pace that matches their individual needs and abilities, they continue to receive individual, tailored instruction, hands on adjustments, and
personal attention from the teacher.

The goal of the workshop
The goal of the workshop is to provide students with a clear understanding and awareness of the Ashtanga methodology as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. By calling upon the guidance of her teacher, David Keil, and her experiences during her annual pilgrimages to Mysore (’06, ’07, ’08, ‘09), Jill will lay a proper and strong foundation on which the students can confidently build self-practices and continue their studies. Over the course of the class we will explore the foundations of the Ashtanga practice by studying the external postures and working to develop awareness of the more subtle aspects such as the prana (breath), bandha (energy) and dristi (focus). Throughout the class Jill will cover the opening and closing mantras, some history on the origin of Ashtanga, debunk some widespread myths, share some personal tips and tricks as well her own stock of stories and experiences. The weekend will culminate with led (traditionally counted) practice of the asanas (postures) covered during instruction. The workshop is open to practitioners of all levels; whether just beginning to explore the system or
looking to clear up any confusion, hopefully all attendees will fall in love with the divine details and
keep these lessons close for a long time.

Ana Forrest, creator of Forrest Yoga, has a unique and powerful
philosophy and approach toward yoga.

Ana has spent 30 years developing Forrest Yoga specifically to address
Our People’s (current day) stresses and challenges, both physical and emotional. Forrest Yoga use intense pose sequences, compassionately taught, to develop skills in awakening each of the senses. It teaches you to bring aliveness, using breath, into every cell of your body, igniting your passion for living.

The pillars of Forrest Yoga are Breath, Strength, Integrity and Spirit. Our mission is to create in each of us a sense of freedom, a connection to our spirit and the courage to walk as our spirit dictates; thus, doing our part in “Mending the Hoop of the People”. Forrest Yoga will teach you to Go Deeper, find your Truth and encourage you to take these gifts you have earned Beyond the Mat into the rest of your life.

Forrest Yoga helps you connect to your core – getting strong and centered. It uses heat, deep breathing and vigorous sequences to sweat out toxins. The long holds in the pose progressions help you flush, oxygenate and rejuvenate every cell.

As a beginner to Forrest Yoga, you learn to breathe deeply and connect in feeling with your body. As you progress, you get proficient at safely tailoring each pose to work best for you; particularly with physical and emotional injuries. Learning to work honestly at your edges, you develop effective tools to deal with fear and struggle. This makes it possible for integrity, self awareness and playful curiosity to become part of your daily life.

Forrest Yoga does not require strength or flexibility; it only requires that you bring a willingness to learn how to feel authentically and respond honestly. As you advance in Forrest Yoga, step by step, you learn to intelligently ride your breath into the exhilarating advanced poses. In addition, you learn to exercise your emotional body through the full spectrum of feeling.

Forrest Yoga honors and celebrates the beauty of life and the power of Spirit. It is an inspiring yoga practice that builds flexibility, intelligence and strength while helping deepen the relationship with your authentic self. Accessing your intuition – the voice of your Spirit – builds personal strength and ushers integrity into your daily interactions with all beings. Forrest Yoga challenges you to heal, grow and welcome your Spirit home.

Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers

Functional Anatomy for Yoga Teachers

20 hour long Fills
Yoga Alliance Anatomy requirement

Price: $350

forrest Graduates $325

Date: July 13-15

Ellen Heed has a gift for translating the complex language of western anatomy into usable, practical concepts that yoga teachers successfully integrate into their teaching. Students learn names of bones, muscles, and connective tissues and how to locate them in their bodies. Why and how we are different from each other becomes the basis of how to use Forrest Yoga as a tool to develop our strengths and strengthen our weaknesses.

This fascinating three-day anatomy intensive will give yoga teachers new tools to communicate the benefits of Forrest Yoga. Ellen Heed studied yoga intensively with Ana Forrest for 12 years and designed this class specifically to address the needs of Forrest Yoga Teacher Trainees. This class satisfies the 20-hour Anatomy requirement for the National Yoga Alliance.

Module 1 : Reading the Bones: Posture, Alignment, and Spinal Pathology
Four Hours
In this module, we will learn how to use visual cues to assess the emotional history of any individual by reading the curves of the spine.

The module will also cover the physiology of bone formation, the plasticity of bone, and describe the effects of structural stress on our skeleton.

We will also learn how yoga can be used as an effective tool to improve alignment and the effects of gravity and aging.

Module 2 : Structural Muscles and Emotion in the Body
Four Hours

This module will focus on learning the twelve most important muscles in the body.
These muscles contain discreet emotional states and content that can be accessed
through yoga practice.

Discover the difference between postural and cosmetic muscles and learn to direct your yoga practice where it really counts.

Module 3:
Four Hours Total
Part 1 – 90-Minute Experiential Anatomy Yoga Practice*

Join us for a unique opportunity to experience the truth for yourself about the information given in the first 2 modules!

This yoga class will be a rare chance to connect the dots of asana practice with anatomical narration of each pose. You’ve seen it and heard it – now feel it.

Part 2 – Reading Body Types : How Connective Tissue Determines Body Type*

Our genetic inheritance determines that we’re all different. Learn the advantages of your genetic gifts and how to custom tailor your yoga practice for a perfect fit.

This module will cover the physiology of connective tissue and joint structure. We will examine various injuries, how they occur, and how to prevent them.

Module 4: Ruled by Blood –
Reading Biochemical Imbalance*
Four Hours

Biochemistry has a universal influence over the practice of yoga. This workshop explores the relationship between body type and blood chemistry.

What we put into and onto our bodies affects out yoga practice. What do dietary imbalance, toxic colons, nerve irritation, and physical injuries have in common?

Module 5 : The Biomechanics of Breath &
The Nervous System: Hardware of the Chakras Four Hours

Breath is the soul of yoga, driven by not one, but four diaphragms. Learn the elements of inspiration and how prana travels through the body.

We will explore breath from an East/West perspective. This module will move from the minute details of oxygen exchange in the cell to the use of breath as ecstatic practice.

We will complete our East/West dialogue by mapping the charkas directly
into the anatomy of the nervous system.
