VINYASA KRAMA - THE CONSCIOUS LANGUAGE OF SEQUENCING YOGA POSTURES A Sequencing Workshop for Yoga Teachers with Cassandra Rigney "The word vinyasa means 'a joining or linking mechanism.' Krama means 'the process'; it refers to the succession of changes that occurs from moment to moment. Vinyasa krama means the succession of changes undertaken with a single pointed intention, free from fluctuation." - Jivamukti Yoga, Chapter 8 Cassandra is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher known for her challenging sequences and fluid transitions. In this workshop you will learn the meaning of rhythm and movement by understanding the language of sequencing and how to consciously choose asana combinations that will encourage the body to unfold to its full potential while at the same time honoring the safety of the student. There is no randomness in the original Jivamukti sequences designed as a blueprint by Jivamukti founders Sharon Gannon and David Life, nor are they choreographed. Each one is designed to flow perfectly into the other, taking the body from one state to the other and back again, and maximizing the release of energy within the body. We will serve our students best if we learn to maximize their experience of asana. There are many things to consider when sequencing asana; are you building a class or just putting in random poses? Are your inhales and exhales coordinated with the proper movement? Are you sacrificing proper alignment in order to sequence? Do you incorporate seamless transitions into your sequences? These topics and many others will be covered in the workshop, which will revolve around a class as an example of Vinyasa Krama. All yoga teachers are welcome as well as those interested in learning about sequencing Speaker Bio |

LOVERS:MYSTICS:SAINTS A talk with Kimberley Theresa Love. We are obsessed, crazed, and sometimes transported by love. Are relationships a path to fulfillment, or the cause of all our attachments? Are "Spiritual Partners" a fallacy, or for real?

Explore how we can use relationship in a practical world to fuel a spiritual practice, and face our darkness with courage. We will discuss how to open to love as a tool to reach our dreams. And use as our guide ancient texts, reviewing practical techniques for every day living. Come discover how to find love, keep it, grow it, and use it as a path to your own destiny.

Their performance at Omega's Ecstatic Chant created a feeling of spirit that moved all who participated. They offer an authentic experience of bhajan."

YOGA OF VOICE A WORKSHOP SERIES WITH DEEPAK KUMAR PAREEK 6 classes For the first time at Jivamukti Yoga School, acclaimed musician and singer, Deepak Kumar Pareek will teach the fundamentals of Indian vocal music using the traditional method of "call and response". Members of the class practice singing as a group. Deepak calls his program "Yoga of Voice" referring to pranayama, the fourth limb in the eight limbs of Raja Yoga, or the control of the life force through correct breathing practices. Each class starts by practicing the basic seven notes (swar) of the Indian music scale "sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa". Students then begin to learn the beautiful bhajans (devotional songs) and ghazals (romantic songs often based on Kabir's poetry) that Deepak is so well known for in his performances and on his CD "Enchanted Evening". Deepak has proficiency in harmonium, guitar, tanpura and keyboard and has one of the most beautiful, soulful voices of his generation. The overall feeling of Deepak's class is one of relaxation and meditation. Deepak believes strongly that every person has a beautiful voice and through practice can develop it to bring about a feeling of accomplishment and joy. No singing experience is necessary yet singers who have been trained in the Western style can benefit greatly from learning music that has been sung throughout the ages in India. Speaker Bio |

UNRAVELING THE MYSTERY OF YOUR HIPS & CORE WITH JIVAMUKTI YOGA with Sandhi Ferreira In the last several years a disease has run ramped in the yoga community we at Jivamukti have been calling: "yoga butt". This is when you develop a pain in your "butt" or more specifically the area of your sacral iliac joint. This usually results from a misalignment in your pelvis during asana practice as well as a lack of engagement in your center and a lost connection to the earth. In this workshop we will practice how to deepen our awareness of our centers and our foundations in the likely asana "yoga butt" instigators and how to stay engaged and aligned. For all levels.

OPENING THE HEART OF BACKBENDS with Sandhi Ferreira Romance your soul and surrender your heart to the sky as you plant your feet into the earth! The practice of backbends are about moving into the future and letting go of the fear of the unknown. If fear and hesitation exists as we attempt to open our hearts, pain will be the result. (And often in the back!) But as we practice these asanas with heightened awareness of our connection to our strengths, the earth, and those we love, we overcome our fears and hesitations and become love itself! This workshop has something for all levels. Speaker Bio |
$40 ($30 certified Jivamukti Yoga teachers) | |
