RADICAL SELF-ACCEPTANCE
Meditation & Yoga Series
with Melanie Murray
6-week series: $95 in advance, $105 at door if space available
Wednesdays, 6-7:20p
     February 3-March 17 (skip 3/3) 

We identify with our state of mind at every stage of personal growth. These identifications are necessary, temporary and transitional. But we can be willing to change our identity everyday, keep a flexible attitude, and not invest in an "I" that we know is just temporary.

We can observe without judgment and replace the ingrained ideas we reach for automatically. When we have an impulse to struggle, we can use that as an impulse to let go and open a space for a new answer to open on its own. When we can't let go we can forgive ourselves and move on. All viewpoints are valid, every experience valuable, every moment a possiblity of freedom.

Open your heart to allow the Flow of the Universe to support you in each and every moment, by cultivating a practice of tuning into your body through meditation and yoga. Peace lies in the spacious awareness of Being, not in the clutter of a busy mind.

In this meditation and yoga series you'll learn the tools that can give you the compassionate self love necessary for true freedom to be who you really are, beneath the judging mind that is loaded with negative untruths and pain. The class format will be 20 minutes of discussion/teaching, 20 minutes of gentle yoga, and 30 minutes of meditation practice.

By its very nature, yoga is well suited to address back problems such as those arising from postural alignment conditions, stress, and injuries. This series is designed to help prevent back pain through improving basic spinal flexibility, strengthening the core and the spinal support muscles, and becoming comfortable with the movements that control flexion and extension of the spine. In addition, participants will learn how to twist safely and understand the specific adjustments that need to be made for future safe yoga practice.

Instructor Candace Bordelon has two herniated discs in her lumbar spine and has learned how to effectively modify and use her yoga practice for a stronger and healthier back.

YOGA MASTER CLASS
with Ricky Tran
Sunday, March 14, 2-5p ENROLL NOW
$45 per person or $70 per couple

Spring forward with a yoga master class for all levels! (Don't forget to set your clocks for daylight savings time.)

The class will include a big picture talk about the many benefits of yogabhyasa (persistent yoga practice), a strong and simple well-rounded physical practice, guided pranayama (breathing exercice) and meditation.

The physical practice is a fertile playground where we can cultivate qualities like determination, concentration, focus, patience, calmness, gentleness, gratitude, humility and acceptance while weakening qualities like judgement, competitiveness, distraction, reaction and criticism. Practicing yoga means we stretch and strengthen the body, but more importantly, we stretch and strengthen the qualities of the mind that impact our overall well-being while eradicating those qualities that harm us. This class is for ALL LEVELS, and the intention is to move toward our own bliss. Please bring a towel to mop up and prepare to sweat!

"Ricky uses descriptions that work for the true beginner that will not leave you lost. His classes are fun and keep you really engaged so that you leave feeling the warmth of your heart and body transformed."
~Ana Shoemaker

"Ricky's yoga has helped me with my strength, balance, range of motion, and most importantly my breathing. I seriously look forward to the days that Ricky is teaching a class. He's great!" ~Troy



AROUND THE WORLD VINYASA YOGA

with Liz Tucker
next date TBA
$30 in advance, $40 at the door if space available

Our planet spins on its axis every day and most of us don't even entertain the thought of it. We are held in place by gravity and we trust the ground beneath our feet. At times we are painfully aware of the spinning of our personal universe -- our lives. It becomes challenging to trust the ground.

In this flowing yoga class, we organize our mats into a cross shape, and move to the top of each mat in different directions as a metaphor for learning how to gracefully move through these transitions in our lives. Experience in vinyasa practice preferred; no new beginners please. Please bring your own mat(s) if you have them.
