The MEDITATIVE POSTURE workshop is led with a balance of stretching and strengthening and is intended to have an internal focus. All Pranayamas may be used, and warm-ups and Kriyas are followed by postures. Postures may be led with long holding times and a focus on deep breathing. This class is most appropriate for students who have learned the basic postures and are comfortable doing them with their eyes closed. Participation in these classes will be safe if the student can listen to her body and both make adjustments to go deeper into stretches, and back off or come out of the posture if the body starts to strain. The teacher is in both the nurturing and coaching role.

Have you ever approached the conclusion of a meditation period with a sense of disappointment that it was ending? Have you promised yourself to give meditation practice a higher priority in your life, but not yet succeeded in making it happen? An afternoon of concentrated practice could prove helpful, with alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation. Make time to connect with your heart’s deepest intention. [Special Note] Although the Online Registration description identifies the price of this workshop as $1, the workshop is actually being offered on a "dana" basis. In the Buddhist tradition, dana means that participants make voluntary contributions based upon their individual leading to give back in response to what they feel they have received.

The hula-hooping we did as children has evolved into a deeper practice with roots in Eastern philosophy, yoga and circus arts. When we hoop, we open up all of our chakras, from root to crown. We also tone and sculpt our bodies, using arms, hands, legs and core. Whether you are a beginner or a master, this workshop will offer the experience of hooping to all participants. We will approach hooping as both meditation and physical practice. Basic movements will emphasize balance and coordination and we’ll work up quite a sweat as we move into flow and hoop dance. Like yoga, hooping is a gateway to challenging yourself, discovering and uncovering your true spirit and simply having fun.
