Anusara Yoga

Sun 3-5p May 25th, 2008
Concealment and Revelation, or, the Supreme Game of Peek-a-boo

For the joy of knowing who we are, we must first forget. This game of concealment and revelation is a major tenet of Tantric philosophy. Learning to play this game awakens us to a spacious, bright heart, allowing us to reclaim our fullness and power, which has been there all along. Anusara Yoga’s first Principle of Alignment™ softens the cloak of concealment, opening us to the revelatory power of Grace. Dive into the heart of Consciousness and learn how to play in this all-levels asana practice. Register here

Breathwork and Meditation

Mon 6:15p
Breathing creates the foundation of all hatha yoga practices. By learning to observe subtle qualities of breath flow, we enhance our ability to pay attention, to be aware. Each week, we start practice with the body strengthening movements of Mukunda Stiles’ Joint Freeing Series. After toning and strengthening our bodies, we’ll practice a sequence of seated pranayama and meditation techniques. Questions and comments during the practice are encouraged (when we’re not being silent, of course!!). Regular practice can build body strength and breath capacity. Calling all smokers an ex-smokers…

Dance Meditation

JUST ADDED - Tues 12:30p - a NEW CLASS
Sat 12:30p - May 10, 24, & 31, June 21 & 28, July 5, 12, 19, 26
We move to music from around the world using rhythm and tempo to access different parts of ourselves. At times the beats are slow andmeditative. At other times they are sensual, playful, fast or driving, and they invite us to feel and give expression to the energy and emotions that move within us. Come explore meditation-in-motion.
