Smile for Balance,
Eric Holmgren, RYT200, ShadeTree Yoga and Wellness

This class is for all levels of experience. We’ll focus on a variety of gentle stretches, backbends, and twists with therapeutic holds to help bring your body back in balance compared to common activities and help you balance your day.

Moving to balance: Redefining your practice for greater health,
Leigh Fountain, RYT500, Life Force, LLC

Do you find your yoga practice doesn’t really solve your day-to-day muscle aches and pain? One reason may be linked to the muscles used in your daily activities that are also being lengthened and shortened in your yoga practice. Many yoga classes spend the bulk of time doing forward bends and hip openers in class – both of these are found in most everyone’s daily activities (e.g., sitting, arms forward) – leading to common issues of tight back, hamstrings, quads, groin, and shoulder muscles. At times, if you want to get in balance you have to start by being a bit out of balance, so we’ll skip the forward bends and hip openers.

Individuality - Trade competition and judgment on the mat for self-acceptance,
Jerry Jefferson,  RYT500 CYT CPT CGEI, Living Fit Today, LLC

This introspective class invites you to be yourself. Explore your body’s uniqueness and allow your body, rather than your mind, to guide your poses. Have a little fun while learning how to recognize when competition and judgment are controlling your physical practice. Honor where your body is in the present moment. Give yourself permission to fall out of a pose, smile, and not take yourself so seriously. Put the gavel down, court is dismissed!!!!!!

The Universe is calling you. Are you going to answer?,
Angela Lutin, FlyWheel

We get signs everyday. Some are subtle; some we see loud and clear. Angela Lutin, author of Play BIG discusses the ways we can become more in tune with the world around us and hear even the smallest signs that are signaling us on our path. Often times we ask for answers to our most compelling questions but fail to see those answers that have already been placed before us. We will discuss heart-opening exercises in order to prepare the senses, meditation techniques to calm the mind, and becoming satisfied with the answers when we do receive them. A question and answer session will follow.

Organic Mandala Flow is a practice that will free the body and bring one into a more organic and free flowing space of exploration!

Our bodies learn to rebalance repair and rediscover the ease and joy of freedom of movement that may have been lost through injury, overworking, stress and tension holding.

PRANAYAMA- The Master Key
Jessica OM (Stiehm) & Aaron "Ananda Das" Erickson, RYT200 JAI Healing Arts

Through pranayama we learn to utilize the full capacity of our breath. We absorb 70% or more of our life force energy through the breath- more than food, more than water, more than sunlight. Our breath (which consists of more than just air) is our direct link to all of the energy in the Universe. Breath is more than an oxygen and carbon exchange that happens within the body; Through it, we receive subtle energies from the Universe and our environment that sustain our life, and can even heal our bodies. PRANA is that life force energy. Through the practice of conscious breathing we are able to collect, store, and direct prana within our system and even beyond the body. We become aware of the conscious life-energy (prana-shakti) that lies behind all of creation.

Master your breath and you master the mind... Start to tap into your potential through pranayama.

(Nuad Borarn) Vedic Thai-Yoga, "Lazyman's Yoga"
Demonstration, Jessica OM (Stiehm) & Aaron "Ananda Das" Erickson, RYT200 Vedic Conservatory

Vedic Thai-Yoga Bodywork or Nuad Borarn, is an ancient healing art viewed as the "Martial Arts of healing." Vedic "medicine" takes into account the multi-dimensional aspects of our being and understands the depth of healing. Vedic thai-yoga combines the sacredness of vedic tradition and beliefs with traditional thai massage, to create a very healing & rejuvenating experience for the both the receiver and the giver! We will be demonstrating some techniques of a typical session that will include passive assisted stretching, rhythmic compressions, acupressure points, reflexology, energy work, breath work, and meditation. A vedic thai yoga session is always a sacred offering of loving service (Bhakti.) There are various positions the receiver can be placed in throughout a session, including supine, side-lying, prone, and seated, all while remaining passive. The art is continuously transforming and has recently made its way into the "acrobatic" field, adding therapeutic "flying" techniques that will also be displayed.
