Explore and deepen your yoga practice with the science of pranayama, by establishing yourself in the cultivation of consciousness through meditation.

In the series, we will explore powerful yogic breathing techniques to awaken energy sources within, and to purify and balance the body and mind. We will also practice insight meditation to focus and quiet the mind and awaken intuition.

For those who have already attended this series, new exercises will be introduced, such as the lion's breath to release our inner demons, and the nauli, which is an extraordinary technique for releasing long-held tension through deep massage of the internal organs. The added practice of prayer and chanting will help students connect and experience their own sacred inner-space.

Join us for sacred and ecstatic call and response chanting that will elevate your spirit and open your heart. The Bhakti Connection is back to share this ancient tradition of devotion and music. Think you can't sing? Set your heart on the intention of joyful celebration and your song will soar!

Kirtan comes from the Sanskrit word for singing, and is as much a part of yoga as are stretching, postures, meditation and breathing. It is a fusion of sounds from various instruments and mantras that remove energy blocks, heal the spirit at deep levels, and allow for a heightened sense of awareness.

Instruments will be on hand, but feel free to bring your own. Bring a smile, bring a friend, and leave with a full heart.

After the death of each physical practice (Savasan), we roll to our right side into fetal position, rising reborn into a higher evolved self. This is a wonderful sentiment of personal evolution, but after the glow of the practice has worn off, attachments and responsibilities to our relationships and careers can lead to an awkward, and even painful growth period. This 3-hour workshop will delve into, and give support to, this new, and somewhat un-charted territory of your yogic sadhana (spiritual practice).

Some of the topics covered over the course of the workshop will be:

• Home Practice (Short, well balanced sequences that can be performed daily)
• The Eight-Limb Path of Yoga
• Healthy dietary suggestions
• Tips to navigate the frictions in your day

Do you smile and nod when people talk about charkas, but secretly wonder if they're contagious? Still kind of unclear about what OM means or why there's an elephant with four arms on the wall of the studio?

Desk-Guru Dawn will address the mystique and mystery surrounding some common yoga precepts in a workshop that aims to demystify some of the details, and answer the questions you've been meaning to ask.

From crystals and chakras, to malas and mantras, learn the ancient symbolism behind these traditions to unlock their power and discover why yogis do some of the "crazy" things they do.
