Upcoming Workshops Information


------------------------------------------------
We are going to have a Kundalini Yoga workshop
class on Saturday October 13th from 1-4 pm
(Donation only).
 
Concepts from HOLISTIC LIVING
Kundalini Yoga - w/Ravi Konduri

October 13th, Sat 1:00 – 4:00 PM

Come and learn the yoga technology to invoke and
use your innate kundalini (bio) energy to its fullest
potential. Gain the knowledge and tools to take
advantage of your own breathing cycle to control
your mind, as breath is the key mind-body connector.
Traditional kundalini yoga is based on keeping the
seven major chakras (nerve plexus) along the spine
active and under control through asanas (body
control) and pranayama (breath control).
Come and experience your inner “self.
This is a donation only based class.

Module 1a - The creative use of straps within a flowing Yoga
environment. As teachers, we are all aware of the benefits of
statically supporting many asanas to enhance the alignment
and intention of each posture. My intention here is to pass
onto you the creative sequences and usages that I have
developed that uses straps within the context of a Dynamic
Yoga practice.

Lots of new, innovative and interesting strap usages to pass
onto you. My promise as always, your time will not be wasted
and you will come away with a large amount of useful
techniques that are ready to use. 

During this 2-hour workshop you will receive:

*A 4 page take home handout.

*3 unique “warm up” sequences with straps.

*Numerous “in the flow” usages of straps during the
standing posture portion of your class.


*Numerous “on the floor” usages of straps while seated,
including some great abdominal and core workouts.


These sequences will reach into and stimulate some very
unique areas and enhance the depth of your Yoga experience.
Please realize that you don't have to teach at my usual
dynamic and flowing pace, these techniques
will benefit any style of Yoga.

Come and add more colors to the palette of knowledge
from which you paint your Yoga Practices!
