The focus of this workshop will be to use the tools of yoga, breathing, meditation, and mantra (chanting) to connect us more to our innate sense of spirituality. Self reflective exercises will be provided (possibly journaling and guided visualization) to help us utilize this aspect of our selves/our being in our every day lives.

Yoga Nidra: The Art of Deep Relaxation
December 3, 2011
Saturday 1:00 - 4:30 pm
$50, registration required.  Register online

In this workshop we will explore the use of Yoga Nidra: savasana (the relaxation at the end of yoga class), as a tool to tap into deeper levels of awareness and connect with the primal wisdom of our bodies. Profound integration of the body, mind and spirit can result in deep healing and revitalization. Yoga, breathing and meditation will be included.

A former resident of the Kripalu Yoga Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, Shankara brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of yogic living into his teachings. He is trained in various traditions including Kripalu, Ashtanga, Bikram and Forrest Yoga.

Shankara leads Enlightenment Intensives, a 3 day breakthrough retreat intended to connect us more deeply to the truth of who we are. In addition, he has created the Love, Passion, and Enlightenment workshop to assist in working on and recovering from psychological and emotional trauma and abuse.
