BACKBENDING
INTO BLISS & OBSERVING THE SUBTLE BODY
Co-taught by Cynthia Funk, Karusia
Wroblewski and Janine Woo
Saturday, April 24 & Sunday,
April 25
10 Hours ~ $225.00
Using
Natarajasana as a template let’s dive
into the ecstasy of back bending. Nataraja
is the Divine Dancer who rides the waves of
cosmic energy. During this weekend we will
analyze the elements of backbends from a number
of perspectives.
We
will look at anatomy and preparatory poses
that stretch, strengthen, awaken and balance
the core and the limbs helping those with
back issues. We will use our understanding
of the chakras and five elements in order
to explore and align the psycho-emotional
components of these postures.
As well we will incorporate aspects of Shakti
Yoga dance flows to awaken the inner juiciness
that will make our backbends shine.

ARM
AND HAND BALANCING
& TAP INTO THE GAP
Co-taught by Cynthia Funk, Karen Cove
and Deborah Whipple
Saturday, May 1 & Sunday,
May 2
10
Hours ~ $225.00
This
module will focus on both self-practice and
the art of refining communication on how to
teach the more advanced and challenging arm
and hand balances. Tuning into the anatomical
details of the shoulder girdle, arms, wrists
and hands. Together we will learn to balance
the weight of our bodies on our hands, while
learning techniques for doing this safely.
We will encourage our students to feel just
as confident while standing on their hands
as on their two feet. We will fly upside down
to the sky!
Meet
every new moment on the mat! Focusing on authentic
expression and creative movement, we will
learn how to feel and be yoga, rather than
"do" yoga. We will learn to let
the practice evolve out of a deeper sense
of embodied consciousness as old ideas dissolve
making room for the ancient bliss of freedom
yoga to move us in an ever evolving and fresh
experience.
Let's
explore our habituated ideas and fine tune
our awareness as we tap into the gap between
what is and what should be - between the program
and the potential.
