Osho Active Meditation: Free Class
December 3 @8:15-9:30pm

Join Jessie for an active meditation that unfolds in five stages. First stage (15 minutes): commences with rapid exhalation, pumping Agni (internal fire) within. Your arms help assist in this technique. Participants will feel the energy of the room begin to rise. Second stage (15 minutes): catharsis - anything goes. This phase is where you let all of your raw emotions free in a safe and sacred environment - primal noises, yelling, crying, howling, drumming, etc. Third Stage (10 minutes): communal ‘Hoo’ mantra. The group energy is reignited and yogis lightly jump with the arms raised overhead while chanting. Feel strong and empowered together. Fourth Stage (10 minutes): stillness in silence, where yogis allow the energy to pulsate throughout the body. Fifth Stage (10 minutes): celebration - expression of joy and zest for life through creative movement or ecstatic dance.

Poses That Challenge You: Contortion Workshop
December 7 @12:10-2:10pm
December 7 @12:10-2:10pm
|
This workshop will commence with a vinyasa flow practice - ensuring that yogis are warmed up and ready to delve deeper! After flowing, yogis will discover the joy of back bending through variations of camel, bridge, wheel, and drop-backs. Students will be taught the proper way to enter into both standing and seated binds (including twists, pigeon, and splits). These will be long holding postures which acclimate the body to stress adaptation. The Utthita Hasta Padanguthasna Series A-D will also be taught on the ground (supine), leading up to leg behind the head variations. (Eligible for YCEAP Credits).

Aerial Inversions Workshop
December 8 @12:10-1:10pm
December 8 @12:10-1:10pm
|
Aerial is a form of suspension yoga which combines traditional yoga poses done on the floor with a silk yoga hammock. Gravity helps alleviate pressure and stress on the joints. Inversions are easily accessed without stress or strain on the neck, back, or shoulders. The silks are great for core and arm strengthening - targeting different muscle groups from traditional yoga classes. Clients must wear t-shirts with sleeves (if a client wears a tank top or sleeveless shirt, they will be asked to put on a provided t-shirt). For the protection of the fabric, no jewelry or zippers may be worn.

Yin Yoga Workshop
December 11 @7:10-9:10pm
December 11 @7:10-9:10pm
|
Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues—the tendons, ligaments, and fascia—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. A yin practice is meant to complement a yang practice, or more vigorous forms of exercise. Yin postures are passive, long-held postures wherein the muscles are relaxed so that the pose can work to go beyond stretching the muscle and works deeper within the body. Come learn more about the Yin Yoga methodology and it's benefits during this two (2) hour workshop with Amanda.
