WORKSHOPS

10/3 Yin Yoga and Shamanic Journey with Debora Cohen and Lisa Smith

4 week series every Sunday from 4-6pm.

The practice of yoga was created to help with our mental disturbances. Disturbances of our mind can come from mental and physical problems. Our physical disturbances and problems our a direct result from our energetic blockages in our meridian energy system. I have invited my good friend and Doctor of Chinese Medicine Therese Walsh Van Keuren to explain how each yin yoga relaxing stretch stimulates particular types of meridians to clear out blockages and assist us with good mental and physical health and wellbeing. In this workshop you will have a deeper understanding of the yin and yang process and how yoga can benefit adreanals.

The spine and the human energy field contain chakras, or energy centers, that vibrate at different frequencies. Each chakra presents us with the opportunity to establish a root relationship and to satisfy a deep soul desire. Energizing and balancing the chakras helps bring internal power to deal with specific life challenges, and to live more whole, meaningful and fulfilling lives. This two hour workshop will include restorative yin yoga stretches and mindful awareness to each chakra system, ending with a yoga savasana meditation to release disturbances and integrate constructive energy in each system. Hands on healing will be performed by Debora during the yin yoga stretches and during Savasana.

This workshop combines ancient yoga techniques to help the mind and body prepare for meditation. Deep breathing helps by energizing and purifying the mind and body. Creative mindful meditation techniques will be presented throughout the physical practice to offer constructive focus for the mind. Long gentle stretches helps to reduce physical stress and tension. Yin Yoga is also a must for anyone interested in developing a sitting meditation practice. A guided meditation practice will follow the physical practice. This practice fosters the principle of non-violence and effects a heart felt change in our world view.


Cost is $120 for all four workshops or $40 each.
