The time has come! It's time to invoke upon a journey of sacred self knowledge as we explore one of the oldest holistic medicinal systems in the world, Ayurveda. Ayur - means life and Veda - means knowledge or science. Thus, it's the profound science of life.
Learning about and weaving Ayurveda into life is really about the path to total health and wellness. Ayurveda helps us align with our true spiritual nature, gives insight into the causes of disease and shines a spotlight on digestive health. Yoga and Ayurveda together, create a power pack combo of holistic science designed for peaceful, joyful living.

Let's get nerdy and precise!! This workshop is for aspiring students and teachers! All students will explore alignment of six (6) postures : Utthita Trikonasana (Triangle), Parsvokonasana (Side Angle), Utkatasana (Chair), Bhujangasana (Cobra), Setu Bandhasana (Bridge) and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (UpDog). We'll find the internal function (and form) of each that embodies anatomy AND energy. Teachers will have a chance to sharpen skills of body reading and practice hands-on adjustments.
Namaste!! This is for ALL levels - anyone with an interest in refining their practice can attend.
Join me for a creative afternoon of coloring, painting, and chanting. Some materials will be provided and shared!

There will be a Meditation to tune in and see where your creativity takes you.

“The Tantric sages tell us that our in-breath and out-breath actually mirror the divine creative gesture. With the inhalation, we draw into our own center, our own being. With the exhalation, we expand outward into the world.”
