FLOWING WITH THE ELEMENTS: Part 1 - IGNITE YOUR FIRE
WORKSHOP INFO:
These elements
that exist in our atmosphere are not just external substances and forces,
but are found intrinsically in our bodies. We can choose to practice asana in a way that supports and
attunes us to our elemental nature.
Each of the Flowing with the Elements workshops will focus on a different element, the
first one being the blazing inner fire to spark off 2010. The “sadhana” or practice will contain
dynamic sun salutes, lots of core power, arm balances, and movement meditations
to embody the qualities of the flame.
We will also tap into our symbolic fire through exploration of our
intentions for the new year. The
surfacing of these intentions can fuel our personal power by creating a
blueprint of our actions for the year to come. Each of the workshops will contain a unique music playlist
inspired by the specific element. For fire, you can expect grooves to get the
body movin’, shakin’ and sweatin’! Let your practice be the spark that gets your 2010
blazing! The heat is on!!!

FLOWING WITH THE ELEMENTS: Part II - Love is in the Air!!
WORKSHOP INFO:
These elements that exist in our atmosphere are
not just external substances and forces, but are found intrinsically in our bodies. We can choose to practice asana in a way that supports and
attunes us to our elemental nature. Each of the Flowing with the
Elements
workshops will focus on a different element; part two is the air element. Air is vital to each of us in every
moment, as the breath is the animating force of our lives. The air element coordinates with the
heart center, which will guide our practice into the palate of backbends that
yoga offers, as well as meditation techniques for evoking compassion for
ourselves, our loved ones, and all beings. Pranayama will also be a large focus of the air element
sadhana, as we will integrate the breath with movement explorations and
heart-expanding visualizations.
This practice is delightfully slow moving and intimate, so please leave
all rushing at the door.

WORKSHOP INFO:
Therapeutic
touch has been used for centuries to help decrease pain, increase circulation,
aid in natural healing processes and induce deep relaxation. By working with a
partner, you can deepen your connection to one another by helping each other
unwind under the caring touch of your own two hands.
In
this workshop you will be guided through your partner's body from head to toe,
using a combination of Swedish massage techniques for exposed skin, and
"dry" massage techniques for use over clothing. Then we'll switch and it will be your
turn! There are plenty of massage
tools to use if/when your hands get tired.
All
supplies will be provided for use during the workshop and the room will be warm
to ensure comfort. Please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing: shorts or
pants (not jeans) that can be rolled up to or just past the knees and a short
sleeved shirt or tank top. Ladies please do not wear a sports bra as this will
take away from your back massage! Note: This workshop is appropriate for
moms-to-be! Just bring a pillow!

WORKSHOP INFO: Tara Guber founded Contact Yoga as an inspiring new vision and
philosophy of yoga created to inform and enhance your relationships
with friends, lovers and yoga partners. Grounded in traditional yoga
postures, Contact Yoga explores that mysterious and dynamic edge where
two people connect - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Offering
valuable insight into the emotional and energetic dynamics of
relationships, CONTACT breaks down the barriers that keep us trapped in
separation by putting us deeper in touch with ourselves, and our
partners at the same time. Whether just friends, passionate lovers,
yogis and yoginis in a class together, CONTACT opens the pathway to
dynamically discover the secrets of a successful and fulfilling
relationship. Using poses specifically designed for two practitioners
and utilizing the Seven Points of Contact: Trust, Passion, Commitment,
Love, Communication, Vision, and Union, Contact Yoga brings
relationship into the body, reflecting, in graphic immediacy, our
deepest patterns of connecting and distancing, loving and protecting,
giving and receiving, patterns that usually remain unconscious. This
exquisite combination of openness and contact creates greater
connection and intimacy for the practitioners, increasing their joy of
being fully alive; and this joy is more than doubled when shared with
another. As a provocative philosophy and dramatic practice for all who
engage with it, Contact Yoga is revolutionizing the image of modern
yoga and the dynamics of relationships. It’s through intimate
relationship and communication with each other that we can realize our
true self and our greatest potential. Contact goes beyond partner yoga
to express and embody the deeper and more transcendent aspects of
relationship. In Contact, the energy of two people moves into postures
to connect with and serve their desire for a deeper awareness of self
and experience of spiritual union with another.
