Yoga Therapy for Manipura (3rd) Chakra - Connect With Your Fire
Sunday, August 7 | 4-6pm | $30 | Danielle De Pillis
With the second chakra we began to connect with our energy and emotions to get our energy flowing more freely and easily. In Yoga Therapy for Manipura Chakra we begin to gather up this energy to be directed for transformation. As we continue the climb up the ladder, we enter society and acknowledge how we live in the world and within our various roles within society. Living in the world requires proper use of energy for the health of the individual and society. Begin to uncover and move beyond conditioned patterns to best channel your personal power. We will use tools and techniques from Integrative Yoga Therapy. This workshop will include lecture, body awareness exercises, yoga poses, mudras and more. Homework with be given to encourage you to continue self work until we meet next. This workshop is open to those taking the whole series as well as those who want to take individual workshops along the way.

Yin Yoga Workshop: METAL ELEMENT - Awareness and Strength
Sunday, August 14 | 1:30 - 3:00pm | $20 | Shelly Shern
Healthy Lung/Large Intestine chi is associated with courage and reverence and with an ability to experience our moments as precious. We will explore the power of unblocking the Lung/ LI meridians to increase our tenacity in difficult situations while still remaining present to the gifts in our everyday life. Through long-held yin poses focusing on shoulder and chest openers, pranayama and meditation we will work to open up to the magnificent world around us. Yin yoga focuses on the deeper connective tissues that house the meridian system and promotes increased flexibility and a more peaceful, serene state of mind. In addition, we will include aromatherapy, reflexology and mindfulness meditation to support our asana practice. All levels welcome.

Hatha yoga, by definition, should always include: asana (poses), pranayama (breathing and pranic exercises), and meditation. As the student advances, they may add shatkarmas (purification practices like neti pot), bandhas (energy locks), and mudras (finger and hand positions). Come round out your yoga teaching skilss with a healthy dose of breathing and guided meditation tools for beginning and mixed levels. We'll discuss what's appropriate based on your teaching setting, as well as how to help students embrace the more subtle practices that yoga was created around to help optimize health and well being.

Yoga & Wellness Coaching Workshop: Cultivating Body Intelligence
Saturday, August 20 | 4:30 - 6:00pm | $20 | Amy Rieder, MA, RYT, Certified Wellness Coach
When our minds and bodies are in synch we feel better and are able to make choices and stick to habits that support and enhance our health and well-being. Our bodies speak to us through physical sensations and offer us regular clues to what we need and to what feels best. Developing a healthy relationship with our physical selves and learning our particular "body language" helps us to discern what is serving our highest good, from the foods we eat to the exercise we do to the thoughts and the people, places and activities that inform our lives. In this workshop we will include discussion, simple energy medicine techniques and yoga that connect us to our physiological experiences. Come and get comfortable with yourself! No experience necessary.
