Mindful meditation and the chakras.
The final session in a series of 3 workshops on Chakras in everyday living. Explore the obstacles of the mind in a meditation class. We will use the model of the chakras to inform us about how we view our thoughts and reactions in body & mind. If you missed the first two sessions, please feel comfortable in attending this session.
The workshop will begin with a review of the chakra system, then a review of bringing attention to the chakras within the asana to develop internal connection with the chakras and the attitudes that are connected with their sensations.
We will then introduce meditation and the chakras. Understanding thoughts as activities of the mind, and how these activities influence the chakra system and sensations.

Pratyahara -
In your yoga teaching and personal practice
June 15, 2013 3:00-5:00pm
We spend so much time as teachers on the asana & pranayama that the other limbs of Patanjalis’ can become a bit overlooked. Pratyahara is the withdrawal of the senses, but NOT as a technique to ignore or push away. Pratyahara is the inclusion of all without the mind or body going in hot pursuit of those distractions. It is the supreme mindful example of being and allowing. Mindfulness is a key component to yoga and its properties for stress reduction.
Whether as a teacher or student, come spend this time with us developing the skills of pratyahara. Learn techniques to bring pratyahara to your teaching skills or personal practice.
