"Seva
should be done with no expectation of reward or even acknowledgment
of the work that is done. We serve not to convert or save a soul,
but simply to serve and for no other reason. No strings attached.
No carrots. Make yourself invisible and do acts of kindness without
expectation of return, coming from a place of love". ~
Nishkama
Yoga's Beginners workshop is the perfect place to start for beginners
and ongoing practitioners of yoga. Experience this workshop in a
safe and nurturing studio with an experienced instructor who will
lead you through breathing practices, relaxation techniques, yoga
postures, and discussion of the yoga tradition. Dress in loose fitting
clothing. 
This
workshop will take you through an in-depth look of the Chakra System.
Each chakra will be examined through yoga postures, meditations,
mantra and chakra questions so the student will be able to understand
their chakra system as a whole and where imbalances may lie. Students
should dress comfortably, and bring a journal or notebook. You do
not have to have yoga experience or to have taken Part 1 of the
workshop to participate. 
Join
me for an evening of Goddess fun! Meet my favorite artisan friends
who have created jewelry, yoga accessories, clothing and wellness
bowls! Get a Tarot reading with Lisa or a chair massage with Pat
for $1 a minute! We will close the evening with a Yoga Trance Dance
and Goddess Chant (donations only) to raise money for my next training
with Shiva Rea, so dress comfortably in style! Light fare and wine
served.. 
AYS is a 150 hour program, suitable for those who may not desire
to be teachers, but wish to deepen their understanding of the Tradition
of Yoga. This course covers the history, philosophy and psychology
of Yoga, energy anatomy and chakras, asana development and alignment,
anatomy and physiology, meditation, mantra, pranayama and Sanskrit
terminology. Coursework includes reading assignments, take-home
quizzes, and short essays that demonstrate understanding. A yogic
studies certificate is given upon successful completion of the program.

CircusYoga
is a heartfelt experience that blends the ancient practice of yoga
with the communal celebration of circus. It was designed for multi-generational
groups, ages 7 to 108! No experience in circus or yoga is necessary,
though a playful spirit is highly recommended. 
A
CircusYoga workshop provides a unique opportunity for people to
play and have fun while stretching their bodies, learning new skills,
and discovering creative ways to interact with others. Our workshops
allow people to experience things that they might not have imagined
were possible, like learning how to juggle or offer healing touch
to someone through Thai massage. We create a sacred space for people
to explore their perceived boundaries and move beyond them. CircusYoga
fosters many wonderful principles including courage, trust, appropriate
risk, expansion, community, connection, deep listening, co-creation,
collaboration, cooperation, invention, and celebration. 
A
typical workshop begins with an entertaining “welcoming
ritual,” during which we show off some of the activities the
group will get to experience. Then we jump right into a “fire
circle,” which involves doing simple yoga poses together to
warm our bodies and begin to connect as a unique “tribe”.
This is usually followed by some interactive and amusing games that
familiarize the group and make everyone feel at ease. We then do
any combination of the following: circus stations where we teach
people diabolos (Chinese yo-yos), devil sticks, juggling, spinning
plates, poi, hula hooping, and how to balance peacock feathers;
creative movement; partner acrobatics (counter~balancing); partner
yoga; flying partner yoga; Thai massage; and more!
