Asana Bandha Mudra
with Jill Glikbarg
Saturday, March 24 2012
1:30-4:00pm
$40
Energy! It's the single most talked about topic. It keeps your lights on, your phone texting, your computer humming, your car running. But what about our inherent personal energy? In this workshop we will go in-depth into the use of bandha (energetic locks) in our yoga practice. We will learn how using these energetic locks can enliven our postures (asana), still our mind (chitta), and increase our ability to acquire, contain and maintain energy in the form of vital life (prana). There will be a brief lecture, bandha exploration and refinement, and then we will put what we learn into a deep practice. All levels are welcome.
This workshop is STRONGLY recommended for Jillian''s following 5 workshops, to be held over the remainder of the year:
4/21 Pranayama Methodologies
5/19 Moon Practice; Intense ways to calm the mind
6/16 Sun Practice; Stoking the strength of purification
7/21 Fire Practice; Stoking the fire of transformation
8/18 Into the Sublime; Restorative and YogaNidra.
Teachers or YTT students can receive 2.5 CEU''s for this workshop upon completion of a homework assignment.

Vitality & Balancing
with Maralle & Steve
Saturday, April 7, 2012
2:00-4:00pm
$35
Join us for a spontaneous, revitalizing and heart-opening workshop! As we open and cleanse our hearts with gratitude, we will spark energy and light into our lives. Just like a seed breaks open to grow into a beautiful tree, we will grow to our limitless potential. We will drop our old patterns in our practice and our lives and reveal our natural vitality. We will re-examine what we think we know about our poses, our limits, our bodies, our lives as we allow for the spontaneity and curiosity of a child to provide new pathways and new perspectives from which we grow with fearlessness, joy and equanimity! Come ready to flow, sweat, open your heart and SHARE YOUR LIGHT BRIGHT! This workshop will focus on heart opening, back bending, shoulder opening poses that unleash our natural vitality. We will also re-examine balancing on our feet and upside down to challenge our beliefs about ourselves and our lives.

Pranayama Methodologies
with Jill Glikbarg
Saturday, April 21, 2012
1:30-4:00pm
$40
So maybe you can come into Eka Pada Koudinyasana, but can you breathe seamlessly while you move into it, stay in it, and move out? How can we use our breath to enliven our practice, to calm our mind, to strengthen our capacity and resolve? This seemingly automatic faculty, inherent in all living things, is drastically overlooked. Learn basic pranayama methodology (the why and how of simple breath), link the breath with your postures and movement, and then learn in-depth ways to use the breath while you practice to change the energetic effects of each posture we will explore. Finally, learn several deeper forms of pranayama to draw you into more internal and calm states that prepare you for meditation. Lecture and practice. All levels welcome.
This workshop is the 2nd in a series of 5 workshops in 2012:
5/19 Moon Practice; Intense ways to calm the mind
6/16 Sun Practice; Stoking the strength of purification
7/21 Fire Practice; Stoking the fire of transformation
8/18 Into the Sublime; Restorative and YogaNidra.
Teachers or YTT students can receive 2.5 CEU's for this workshop upon completion of a homework assignment.

Cleansing & Healing
with Maralle & Steve
Saturday, May 5, 2012
2:00-4:00pm
$35
Join us for a cleansing, restoring and healing workshop. We will clear the rocks that block our wisdom and light, and cleanse emotional and physical debris. When we take the time to cleanse, we restore our lightheartedness and bring brightness to every NOW moment. When we relax enough in our poses and our lives, we give up the struggle and the judgements, and we surrender and ALLOW to fully experience, feel and therefore RECEIVE! Then, we are truly celebrating and experiencing every aspect of life as it is! Come ready to flow, sweat, twist, open your hips and restore! This workshop will focus on twisting and hip opening poses that cleanse us from the inside out, as well as restorative and healing poses. We will come into our bodies, allow ourselves to turn in and feel what we feel as we come face to face with our mental and emotional blocks. We will gently and patiently remove these blocks as we melt into healing and restorative poses. In this workshop, we will celebrate being alive, and we will play with lightheartedness.

Moon Practice: Intense Ways to Calm the Mind
with Jill Glikbarg
Saturday, May 19, 2012
1:30-4:00pm
$40
The moon represents Chitta, or rather, mind. The mind shifts from phase to phase, just like the moon. When we quiet our minds enough we start to experience, deep within ourselves, a limitless potential to manifest our dharma, or purpose in life. We listen to our inner guide. When aligned with our purpose, we experience increased capacity and a deep sense of inner peace. In this workshop, Jillian will guide you through a tantra moon practice, which will also include exploration of pranayama, bandha, mudra and prana dharna. Lecture and practice. All levels welcome. The previous Asana Bandha Mudra and Pranayama Methodologies workshops are STRONGLY recommended prior to this workshop.
Teachers or YTT students can receive 2.5 CEU's for this workshop upon completion of a homework assignment.

Sun Practice: Stoking the Strength of Purification
with Jill Glikbarg
Saturday, June 16, 2012
1:30-4:00pm
$40
Do you gravitate toward heated strong flow classes? Try this approach to your yoga workout by learning to harness the subtler aspects of energy to enliven your practice. The Sun Practice is meant to cleanse, strengthen and purify you at the level of body, mind and energy. Learn techniques that can help you increase your tapas (will determination strength and fire) without burning you out (without dimming your tejas), so that you leave your yoga practice full of energy and clarity as opposed to wasted and depleted. You will learn to tune into your inherent vital energy source, and to keep that fire burning brightly well after class is over. All levels welcome. The previous Asana Bandha Mudra and Pranayama Methodologies workshops are STRONGLY recommended prior to this workshop.
Teachers or YTT students can receive 2.5 CEU's for this workshop upon completion of a homework assignment.

Fire Practice: Stoking the Fire of Transformation
with Jill Glikbarg
Saturday, July 21, 2012
1:30-4:00pm
$40
Do you ever feel like you (or something else) is holding you back from realizing your full potential? Do you remember your last personal "aha" moment, when something about you or what has been holding you back finally surfaced in a clear and tangible way, and you were able to make a course correction on your inner or even outward life journey? The Tantra Fire practice is not for the faint of heart. We will learn to cultivate the inner fire that burns our impurities (physical, mental or spiritual), to care for that fire through our yoga practice, and to sensitize ourselves to that fire through tools of asana, bandha, mudra, mantra and kriya. This is an intermediate to advanced class. Students must have taken the Asana Bandha Mudra and Pranayama Methodologies workshops or have a regular attendance at Jillian's classes for at least a year. Lecture, practice and guided meditation.
Teachers or YTT students can receive 2.5 CEU's for this workshop upon completion of a homework assignment.

Restorative and Yoga Nidra
with Jill Glikbarg
Saturday, August 18, 2012
1:30-4:00pm
$40
Back by popular demand! This will be the 6th time Jillian will have led this popular workshop. Yoga, inherently, is meant to bring balance to the body, mind and spirit. When we are in balance, when we quiet our minds enough, when our body is deeply relaxed and renewed, we start to experience, deep within ourselves, a limitless potential to manifest our dharma, or purpose in life. When aligned with our purpose, we experience increased capacity and a deep sense of inner peace. In this workshop, I will guide you through a restorative yoga practice, to perfectly prepare you to fully experience a guided Yoga Nidra session. Yoga Nidra, the sleep of the yogi, has been used by yogic adepts for centuries and is a perfect modern day panacea for many stress related ailments. This workshop will deepen the positive effects yoga has already had on your life and allow you to transform your daily experience from mundane and stressful to joyfully fulfilling and peaceful.
