⇒ This workshop begins with a lecture on the deeper, subtle energetic aspects of the Yoga asanas, pranayama, internal locks and the chakra system.  You will gain an understanding of how energy is the link between the physical body and the emotions and mind, as well as how to bring balance to all the levels of your being through various powerful Yoga techniques.  

⇒ The 2 hour complete Yoga practice will incorporate a variety of practices that go beyond the physical body, into the subtle layers, to create a deep state of relaxation, emotional balance and mental calmness.  

⇒ We start with invigorating breathing techniques that awaken the energy and mind.  Then we enjoy a gentle physical warm-up before moving to a dynamic, flowing sequence that focuses on physical strength, balance and flexibility, with a continued emphasis on deep, energizing breathing throughout these first two stages.  

⇒After getting the body and energy moving, we gradually slow down the practice with a meditative sequence that guides us deeper into the internal awareness of the subtle aspects of ourselves while consciously guiding the energy into specific chakras/energy centers.  

⇒ The practice then transitions to an extended pranayama/breathing practice with internal locks that takes us on a journey through our chakras to purify, energize and balance our entire system. This prepares us for the culmination of our yoga practice, which is the final guided meditation, that facilitates an enhanced state of mental clarity while gently opening our hearts to a state of gratitude.

⇒ The class closes with a nourishing, guided final relaxation in Savasana.
