WHIRLING WONDERS - An Introduction to the Chakras

A 3 hour introduction workshop to kick start your exploration into your energy or pranic body. Enabling you to go deeper in your practice and take the wisdom of these fascinating 8 energy centers into your everyday life.

"Whirling Wonders" is a 3 hour introduction to  the chakras, in order to  start you on your self exploration journey of these wonderful wells of knowledge within you.

The pranic body - the home of the 8 energy wheels know as the Chakras , is  a huge subject. Primarily because each and every aspect of who you are - physically, emotionally, and mentally can be attributed to the balance or imbalance of a chakra (s)  within your body.

The workshop covers the basic characteristics and functions of each chakra. What each chakra "looks like" in  its  balanced, deficient ,  and excessive state s .  Which Asanas (physical yoga postures)  work  to stimulate and open each energy center . And we'll cap it all off with a meditation to help you tap into the subtle energy of whirling wonders within.

CHAKRA SHUDDHI MEDITATION WORKSHOP

With basic knowledge and having started your exploration of the chakra system you are now ready to learn the 3 step meditational technique of locating, stimulating and purifying each of the 8 main chakras.

Taking the information accumulated from your "Whirling Wonders" workshop or personal knowledge of the Chakra system, it is now time to expand your practice from using your awareness of the chakras in Asana (yogic postures) and bring it into your meditational practice as well!

In the Chakra Shuddhi Meditation Workshop (shuddhi = purification) we cover 3 individual meditations to start the process of Locating, Stimulating and Purifying each chakra. These are 3 of the 5 steps needed to awaken and rise the Kundalini Shakti. The final 2 stages must be practiced with a Master or Guru as the techniques are passed down only at the time the student is ready to practice them.

Please note that in order to attend this workshop you must already have a basic knowledge and understanding of the chakra system as the basics of each chakra will not be covered.

CHAKRA INTENSIVE - Immerse Yourself in the Wheels of LIfe

MANTRA - The Path To Healing, Light & Peace

For most the yogic journey starts with asana, but yogic life does not start, nor end with your physical practice. Mantra provides the opportunity to deepen your practice and evolve to open yourself to a higher vibration and more subtle level of awareness.

If you seek to live with awareness on all levels and actively engage in both self-healing, as well as healing for the larger community and mother earth, mantra is the next step in your journey. The practices presented in this workshop are so powerful they have the ability to purify and balance dis-ease and transform/refine/balance your emotions.

PRANAYAMA - More Than Breathing

This workshop offers yet another opportunity to deepen your practice with the 4th “limb” of yoga, pranayama.

Pranayama are techniques that purify and refine the subtler energies of the body. Prana while usually interpreted as the breath, is actually a more subtle form of energy that integrates the soul to the body and holds the body in balance. Simply said, prana is the lifeforce, the shakti behind our human experience.

Practicing pranayam in addition to asana is essential to prepare for practicing meditation and experiencing the different layers of “Self”.

Through self-exploration, both physically and energetically we will explore they pranic implications of pranayama techniques of basic asana, leaving you with tools to deepen your practice and prevent dis-ease within your body.

THE NITTY GRITTY WORKSHOP - Peeling, Revealing and Discovering YourSELF

Often the ups and downs of our human experience is gauged by our transient emotions, "i like this" "this feels good" "this feels bad" "i dont know why this happened, its terrible". Leaving us with the "baggage" of samsakaras (memories) that we have aversions or attractions to, we often seek external medicines to feel better (alcohol, anti-depressants.)

The Nitty Gritty Workshop, affectionatly named by our students, empowers you by offering a step by step guide to processing and navigating the ups and downs of life through a yogic perspective. Evening out the ebbs and flows, by using a yogic lens to look at our lives, we celebrate the highs and heal the lows so we can move into a fuller more authentic expression of our Self.

SWOONING SWARA - An Introduction to the Nadis

Furthering the exploration of the Pranic body, Swooning Swara explores the physic nervous system that links the Chakras - the Nadis. Come along and find out how balance, explore and appreciate the influence the Nadis have over every aspect of your mental and physical health.

Furthering the exploration of the Pranic body (great for those who have a basic knowledge of the Chakra system, but not essential), Swooning Swara explores the physic nervous system that links the Chakras - the Nadis. Come along and find out how balance, explore and appreciate the influence the Nadis have over every aspect of your mental and physical health.

The Nadis - variously translated as "channels", "nerves", "veins", make up the composition of the subtle or yogic body in Tantra. Like the Chinese meridians, the nadis constitute channels of flow of subtle vital force or prana. The Nadis have a strong influence over the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems in the body as they interweave with each of the chakras up the spinal column and thus heavily influence and communicate to us about how our physical and mental bodies are or are not in balance. Although the pranic bodies holds a system of 72,000 Nadis, they can all be balanced and harmonized by learning the intricacies of the 3 main Nadis, Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. Come and learn what daily activities are optimized by running a certain Nadi's, how to get out of bed on the "right side" and which flow of energy will help digestion and sleeping.
