Anatomy: Preparing the Body for Shakti
Shakti, Shiva’s consort, teaches us that it is the power of the feminine energy which brings rise to the magnificent awakenings we experience in our yoga practice. This manifestation of power can be explosive when unsupported. Embrace the balance of Shiva/Shakti as we optimize, energy flows of muscular and organic-passive and active.

Asana: Yoga Therapy
The sutras offer the thought, "the asana is both firm and relaxed". As a beginner, we find ourselves tense and unstable. Yet, when we finally relax, we can become over confident or aggressive which can result in injury. Learn to approach both your life and asana with an eye to the steady process of the journey. Stand ready as we explore yoga therapy with mindful awareness.

Cultivating Self Appreciation
Through Ayurveda Expand your personal understanding of the ancient art and science of Ayurveda. Learn practical, unique ways to incorporate your individual and constitutional needs in the areas of: yogic practices, nutrition and lifestyle planning.

Partners in Thai Yoga Body Work
According to Ayurvedic science, there is an extensive network of energy lines running throughout the body. Thai Yoga Bodywork focuses on moving energy along these lines, releasing body tension and promoting relaxation. The practitioner is doing both bodywork and Vipasana; a moving meditation. In this way Thai massage can achieve powerful results for both the giver and the receiver. The Thai Yoga practitioner places his client into passive yoga positions and then applies rhythmic compression, traction and twisting to the muscles and bones. Workshop partners will alternate between giving and receiving while the workshop leader guides them through a series of massage sequences. Since Thai massage is done fully clothed on the floor, please wear loose comfortable clothing. Long pants and long sleeves are preferred. Please be prepared to have fun in this awesome workshop!

Opening Your Heart, Connecting to the Love Within
