SPECIALTY WORKSHOP: YOGA for VITALITY & CONFIDENCE! Sunday, January 19, 2020, 2:00 to 4:15 pm, All Levels, $28 EARLY BIRD (Regular price is $33).
If you need a little jolt of energy and empowerment to help you let in more JOY, tackle that task you’ve been putting off, or make a much-need change in your life, then this is the Yoga Workshop for you!
Or do interactions and responsibilities have you feeling overwhelmed, and you just need to clear your head? Feeling drained, tired, and not quite yourself?
Or maybe you just need a burst to fire you to enlighten your New Year of 2020 with grace and vitality!
Come practice simple yoga techniques–easy enough for a beginner but refined enough for longtime practitioners–to lift your energies and help you SHINE. Get ready to learn foundational yoga techniques to strengthen your vitality and enhance your sense of presence and confidence with AGNI SARA, or “Fire Essence.” Have you experienced AGNI SARA yet? If you have practiced with me through AHA Yoga and completed the sequence focusing on the 4 layers of abdominal musculature, then perhaps you have; this means you know firsthand the immediate energizing effects.
AGNI SARA is a master practice in my tradition of yoga, and one of the most essential techniques for ongoing well-being as well as discernment and other aspects of personal growth. And it is an important cornerstone of this afternoon of yoga for confidence!
According to yoga philosophy, your belly is home to the nourishing and manifesting energies of the will, longevity, and a can-do attitude. It is the spot upon which you meditate if illness threatens your life, but it is also the focal region if you’re well and simply ready to thrive. The name tells it all; the Sanskrit words mean “Fire Essence,” and you’ll leave this workshop a little more in touch with the life-giving fire in your belly. Pre-registration is now open on our website. You can also reserve your spot with cash or check; just contact us via e-mail, text, or call. This afternoon workshop will help you tap into your natural resources of vitality and confidence that already reside within you.
Come join us to learn the yoga philosophy that explains why the solar plexus is crucial, how to access and direct its effects, and the different elements, variations, and overall practice of AGNI SARA. Adding this simple exercise to your daily routine cultivates your vitality and confidence, as well as discernment, clarity, and capacity to act in a way that serves your highest self.
We will also review Diaphragmatic Breathing, a cornerstone for ALL yogic practices and how we reap the benefits of practice even off the mat. Then we'll learn all about KAPALABHATI, a breathing technique used to enhance energy. This techniqueis both a “pranayama,” a breathing technique to enhance “prana” or life force, as well as a “shat kriya,” one of “six actions” whose purpose is cleansing. In the discipline of Kapalabhati, stagnation is cleared away, making room for qualities like clarity, calm repose, or sweet bursts of vitality.
We will also learn specific MUDRAS, or yogic hand-gesture, that serves to focus the mind and build confidence while releasing self-doubt and anxiety.
Our distinctive sequence for YOGA for VITALITY & CONFIDENCE will also include many REVOLVED POSES--aka TWISTS, as these help stoke and harness that inner fire of Agni, making us all a little more pepped to face each day with hope and excitement.
We'll even take progressive steps into the pose "Parivrtta Hasta Padangusthasana," Revolved Hand to Foot Pose, for a little more concentration and challenge. Remember, it is all about PRACTICE. :)
Please BRING A YOGA MAT. If you use a shared studio mat, please note there is a $2 rental fee and it you need to sanitize it after each use (cleaning supplies provided).
If you are ready to experience some MASTER PRACTICES that will increase your clarity and inner fire, and simply get you moving and feeling better, then join us SUNDAY at 2 pm, January 19, 2020, for this important workshop!
