local workshops
Goddess Asana will incorporate asana, mudra, meditation and Mehndi as a means to honor and invoke the Inner Goddess. Mudras, asana and Mehndi are all external expressions of inner resolve which imply that non-verbal communications can be more powerful then the spoken word. This workshop begins with an asana practice that will be a slow flow vinyasa format ~ not difficult in nature, but rather more meditative and restorative. Michelle will pay special attention to certain mudras and postures that evoke specific deities and ideas symbolizing divine powers. To conclude the workshop, all Goddess participants will take part in a traditional Mehndi ritual, using an ancient Indian and North African shrub plant for Henna body painting. The end result is a feeling of inner connectedness to the Divine Feminine and a gorgeous Henna design that lasts for up to three weeks. Goddess Asana is open to all levels of experience; the only requisite is an open heart and a creative spirit ~ SIGN UP REQUIRED!

MASTER CLASS with SEANE CORN ~ Friday, March 12th ~ 6:30-9:30pm ~ $60 THE BODY AND BEYOND Vinyasa means to link movement with breath. In this 3 hour master class, we will explore the multifaceted dynamics of Vinyasa Flow yoga, focusing on optimal alignment, pranayama, meditation, reflection and prayer. Through the integration of asana, breathing techniques and conscious intention learn how to experience the creative and powerful practice of Vinyasa Flow as a devotional expression of life -beyond the body. This meditative dance not only strengthens, tones and stimulates all the various systems of our bodies, but also initiates us to the knowledge that there is no separation of the mind and body, matter and consciousness, heaven and earth- you and I. Walk away cleansed, inspired, relaxed and empowered. Experience with Sun Salutes A and B is recommended.
