Transformational Breath®
Direct Connection to Source Energy & Life
with Aubree Saia, 500 E-RYT

Transformational Breath

Sunday
October 4th
4:00pm - 6:30pm

This potent, self empowering practice awakens us to our highest potential, and clears the path for us to actualize the lives we want to live and express.
 
The ancient practice of connected breathing has been embraced by yogis, shamans, seers, and indigenous cultures around the world for thousands of years.
 
Transformational Breath pranafies the body by circulating the life force throughout your entire being.  Through surrender and relaxation of the exhalation, the heart opens and receives the infinite wisdom, magic and healing power hidden within the breath.  Sense perceptions expand and higher levels of awareness are realized.
 
This sacred journey invites you into a timeless space of deep listening, reflection and connection.  
People have extremely profound experiences while breathing:
  • life changing insights
  • radical relaxation
  • euphoric sensations
  • feelings of unity and love
  • deep healing and forgiveness
  • emotional freedom
  • altered states of consciousness
 
A regular breath practice gifts you with more available energy, facilitates healing on all levels, ignites creativity, cultivates vibrant radiant health, expands consciousness, and is a true catalyst for growth and transformation.

Deepen Your Practice Off the Mat

TT Online Workshop

Yama Yoga Fall 2015
Online Learning Workshop
Practicing an Inner Tradition in an Outer World
Tuesday & Thursday
October 6 & 8
6:00 - 7:30 pm

Yoga encourages us to go within and work from the outermost layers of our physical selves to dive deeply into the nectar of our essential Self ... but we also live in a world of family, friends, communities, rules and culture.  Placing the koshas model of self (Panchamaya model) within a social-ecological framework for human behavior provides us a way to consider how we work on ourselves, and work with others.

Good Asana Doesn't Just Happen
Tuesday & Thursday
October 27 & 29
6:00 - 7:30pm

Training principles provide a blueprint for effective, safe and smart physical conditioning that allow plenty of room for your uniqueness.  Personal progress in yoga asana benefits substantially from understanding and applying basic principles of sports and exercise training to work smarter, not just harder on your yoga mat. 
 
Introduction to Yoga History
Tuesday & Thursday
December 1 & 3
6:00 - 7:30pm
 
"...History is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul" (Lord John Acton). The history of yoga provides some fact, some fiction, a good bit of commentary and a lot of food for thought. Not just a laundry list of people, dates and places ... but an introduction to the fascinating texts, sages and teachings that provide lively context for modern practice.  

Additional information:
  • Pre-registration required by one day prior to online workshop date.
  • Registration Fee:  $30 each
  • Sessions will include handouts, activities and references for continued study.
  • All live sessions are recorded - attend live or watch later on.

Dysfunctional patterns of movement can live with us for ages before our awareness catches them through chronic discomfort, loss of range, or emotional blocks. Underneath these learned inhibitions is a brilliance that knows what health and freedom feel like. Using yoga as our medium, we will work with movement strategies, self care tools, and awareness exercises to remind our system what healthy can feel like.
