March 2007 - Vol.5 #3

Experiential Anatomy 20 Hour Module @ Danforth
Sat March 24 - 3:15 to 10:15 pm ~ Sun March - 5:15 to 9:15 pm
Co-taught by Cynthia Funk and Karusia Wroblewski

For this course, we will experience anatomy directly in our postures as we practice them. In the first weekend we will concentrate on the area from the sole of the foot to the navel; in the second, from the navel to the crown. The Chakra system (subtle anatomy) will be included as a way to deepen our understanding of the interdependence of the physical and the psycho-emotional bodies.

Return of the Sun

Spring is around the corner! Even though snow drifts abound there seems to be an undercurrent of moist warm air that I always associate with spring. Spring and summer are our seasons of long days and sun filled skies helping us to feel enlightened. We not only release ourselves of our many layers of heavy winter clothing but also our spirits rejoice as we begin to spend more time outside. The Gayatri Mantra is very pertinent mantra for spring. It is a mantra about enlightenment and the sun...
