SPRING EQUINOX DETOX YOGA FLOW...

 Laughing River Yoga!

 Sunday, March, 20, 9 am-12 p.m.   cost - $45

 

Spring is the natural time of year to start a detox as we move away from the cold and stagnant effects of winter and prepare the fertile ground of our bodies and minds to plant new seeds of intention.

This three hour workshop will combine asana, kriya (purification techniques), meditation and discussion.  We will learn how to kick start the body’s natural detoxification processes as we:

*Stimulate the circulatory systme to work more effectively

*Facilitate the flow of lymph which supports the healthy functioning of our immune system

*Support healthier breathing to enable more effective elimination of carbon dioxide from the lungs and cells

*Stimulate the organs to work more effectively especially the kidneys, liver and digestive tract

This workshop will also include practices to help create mental clarity and focus and decrease stress and toxic thought patterns

Best suited for those with pror yoga experience.

4 week Lifeforce Yoga workshop at VTCYP

LifeForce Yoga is a practice of compassion that helps us to become less 'stuck' in our moods and to cultivate a greater sense of self awareness and self acceptance

Through breath work, sound repetitions, simple postures, and relaxation techniques LifeForce yoga empowers us to take control of our more difficult moods. In this 4 week series you will learn practices which energize and reduce feelings of lethargy and depression as well as practices which calm, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.

Through these simple yet profound techniques we will work to create the space within to feel our essence of connection and wholeness. LifeForce Yoga is adapted to the student, so each individual can move into a balanced emotional, mental, and physical state of equanimity and well being. This practice is perfect for beginners and for those who have done Yoga before.

Testimonials from Fall 2010 LifeForce Yoga:

"Sofi is approachable, honest, soothing and her knowledge of the subject matter is impeccable."

"I liked how Sofi taught both energizing and calming methods; I have found these useful for everyday life."
