IMMUNITY THROUGH YOGA WORKSHOP March 11th

The workship lasts for 3 hours, but the time goes by fast. The workshop will open with gentle stretches and movements for circulation in the joints with Indira, and then Jeanie will teach a 1/2 an hour well designed sequence that will get your pulse going and your breath rythmic,  for optimal heart and lymphatic health. Then we’ll  use a series of poses to target specific organs that increase immunity health. Last we will end with a restorative sequence that will re-set your nervous system and allow for a deep rest that you cannot get enough of!

This workshop is good for anyone who wants to improve their health. It will be co-taught with Indira Kuckreja, who you can read about on her website http://embody-you.com/index.htm. We will be teaming up together to help you enhance your practice and build greater chi(energy).  You will go away from the workship knowing poses that stimulate organ function and circulation; a sequence to encourage the immune response in the body; the importance of increasing the heart rate for better immunity; and why deep relaxation and restoration at the cellular level are critical in building immunity.

March 11th Sunday 1 – 4pm $25 Pre-registration recommended (415-596-7898 or jeaniegarden@gmail.com) $35 drop-in day of workshop Location: TBA (in Sebastopol)

Make peace within…

Most people live in a constant state of inner conflict and suffer from a barrage of negative thoughts that sabotage productivity.

Here’s a scenario: Imagine that your car has landed in a ditch. A group of helpers gather, attach ropes and start to pull the car out. Unfortunately, they’re not all pulling in the same direction. Some try to pull the car toward the road, whereas others try to pull it deeper into the ditch. It’s absurd.

That’s exactly what happens when we’re divided within: everything is a struggle, nothing much happens, and it’s frustrating. But what if your mind, body, and soul are all aligned?

Register while there is still space! The Core Yoga Series is semi-private and lasts for 2 months. The series classes greatly enhance your learning, and help you grow in an intimate supportive group. Only 4-5 people per class, so sign up before the class gets full! (Note: classes are already half full, 2-3 spots remain in each class).

Core Yoga Starts at 6:15pm – 7:45pm on the day/date below. Pre-Registration is required. Classes can be made up on Sunday’s at 9:15am.

Yoga 101

I know for many of us our New Year’s resolutions are focused on improving our physical condition, getting in touch with our bodies, and recommitting to a regular, healthful yoga practice! I also know that if you are new to yoga or have not been practicing regularly, it can be daunting to jump right back into classes and start (or restart) your personal practice. To help you get off to the right start in 2012, I will be teaching a Yoga 101 Workshop this January 14th. In this two hour workshop, we will explore some of the basic postures, breathing and meditation techniques that make up the practice of Hatha yoga. Students will leave with a basic understanding of proper alignment and technique. They will be prepared for most beginner and all-level yoga classes. Yoga is appropriate for just about anyone. You don’t need to be flexible or be able to quiet the mind. You simply need the desire to show up and do your best. This is a great opportunity for any of your friends who have always wanted to join you in class but have felt intimidated by their lack of experience. Experienced students who would like to review the basics are also most welcome!

To ensure you put your new yoga skills into action and further digest what you’ve learned, the tuition for the workshop includes attendance to my Sunday morning classes on January 15 and January 22nd. Hit the ground running with your resolution for a regular, year-round yoga practice!

Tuition:
$35 pre-registered
$45 drop-in

Schedule: January 14, 2012
1:30 PM – 3:30 PM (location tba)

I wish you a wonderful holiday season!
Namaste,
