The mind is a wonderful, amazing thing and it’s part of what makes us human, but at the same time the mind can cause stress and anxiety due to repetitive thoughts. Begin your week by finding some moments of peace in the mind. This weekly class is for beginners as well as advanced practitioners of meditation. We will utilize breath, visualization and hand positions (mudras) to support us in our practice. Integrative Yoga Therapist, Danielle De Pillis uses these practices and mudras regularly with private clients to help them awaken their healing capacity. Mudras are also a part of her daily personal practice. Mudras are helpful in channeling the breath to various areas of the body, increasing awareness of the body and the breath and even promoting greater health. These mudras come from Joseph and Lilian Le Page and their forthcoming book Mudras For Healing and Transformation. Join Danielle each week to connect with the part of your being which is inherently peaceful.

Take your time coming into the body and the breath. Slow it down, taking time to transition into and out of each pose with full awareness. Stay in each pose a bit longer to go deeper and experience greater connection with the Self. Flow through movements on the floor and standing. Release old holding patterns and create new space. Build body awareness, flexibility and strength while learning tools to heal the body and prevent injury. Therapeutic Slow Flow uses the tools of Integrative Yoga Therapy and hatha yoga to guide students to tune in to their innate healing process. Level of difficulty will vary per class, but all levels are welcome and encouraged.

Take things down a notch as you slowly unwind stressful holding patterns and come into the body. Move through the 6 movements of the spine creating greater space and mobility. Stay present in the body as you are taken through simple conscious movements, yoga postures and restorative poses. Find your bliss in a relaxing savasana followed by a guided meditation with hand positions (mudras) to guide you deeper into your practice.

We often forget how one area of the body greatly impacts the rest of the body. The feet are the essential foundation for posture. Foot health and alignment are important for maintaining knee and hip health and the health of the whole spine. The knees are the most operated area of the body, but with proper maintenance, very often knee pain and surgery are preventable. Learn more about your base of support, postural alignment for this area of the body and techniques to keep feet and knees happy and healthy. We will also work on hamstring and hip flexibility to protect the knees.
This workshop is great for healthy as well as unhappy feet and knees and wonderful for athletes. If you have had recent knee surgery, some of the techniques will need to wait until you have had at least 6 months recovery and have completed all physical therapy. If you have concerns, please contact your doctor in advance to know what types of movements you need to avoid at this time.

Bring a little shakti into your weekend!
The Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche is a lovely and even sometimes sexy translation of the Vijnana Bairava Tantra. It is a beautiful dialogue between the Goddess and God, Shakti and Shiva, Devi and Bhairava, creation and consciousness. Vijnana Bhairava Tantra is loosely translated as “the terror and joy of realizing oneness with the soul.” Shiva responds to Shakti’s questions with words that take you deeply within your own being.
These 112 techniques or meditations involve body, breath, emotion, spirituality, love and life. This will be a fun evening of flow and stillness as you listen to the words of the Radiance Sutras creating bliss within and building shakti. There will be minimal cueing as you move in and out of poses to keep your awareness inward, so this workshop is better suited to those with yoga experience.
