Thoughts

 

"Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they're meant to be." 

 

B.K.S. Iyengar

Thoughts from Omsite:
the Yama Yoga Blog 

Tammy Limbach
by Tammy Limbach

 

There was a blog post I stumbled upon recently via the oracle of wisdom known as Facebook. The post was about seven questions one could ask oneself to aid in the discovery of one's life purpose. I liked the post quite a bit, so much so, I posted it on my Facebook page which often feels like the technical equivalent of a blood pact.

 

I love the idea of purpose in every size, life size purpose, or even its smaller siblings such as picking out music to suit your mood or having a gluten-free day. Think of holding on to the why of it all and letting go of the how. We ask this a lot in yoga. "Set an intention," the teacher says. What the H does that mean? Create purpose for this hour or more of sweating, breathing, and coming face-to-face with your own success and frustration. Otherwise, what's the freaking point?

 

When our actions lack purpose they lack breadth and depth. For example, when I first learned yoga alignment principles I learned them as a practitioner. It was those principles that drew me to alignment-based yoga. Something about the teacher's cueing was inviting me deeper into my own "conversation" with the pose and the practice as a whole. It felt magical! My body started to open up and I become more in touch with my abilities and inabilities. I felt deliciously empowered with knowledge of myself. No question, that empowerment spilled into other areas of my life.

Winter Solstice Slow Flow

iRest Yoga Nidra Workshop

 

Winter Solstice Workshop

with
Lorraine Ghorbanpoor, RYT 500
 

 

Sunday, December 21st

3:00 - 5:00pm

 

This workshop will begin with a slow flow yoga practice inviting reflection and renewal. The winter solstice celebration can be a way to tune into the beauty of the season giving thanks for both the darkness and the light. 

  

The latter part of the workshop, Integrative Restoration, or iRest, is the modern day protocol for the ancient life altering practice of Yoga Nidra. It is a profound meditative practice that systematically combines deep relaxation, affirmation, respiration, visualization and self-inquiry which work together to facilitate the integration and healing of body, mind, and spirit.

  

It invites realization of one's deepest desires while awakening the timeless wisdom that lies within. iRest Yoga Nidra brings you home to yourself to discover your own inherent source of peace, joy, and wellbeing.

$25 Door

Yin Yang Workshop

 

Sunday,
January 25th 

2:00pm - 5:00pm 

          

 

In this class, we will discuss yin / yang pairings, and use of the dichotomy as a tool to improve and direct your own practice and self-study. Yin and Yang are dynamic and balancing forces, like night and day, hot and cold, active and passive. Self- observation through these pairings can bring insight and ease into how to build a home practice, as well as bring greater balance into your life.

 

Do you have a home practice already? Whether you are a seasoned home practitioner or a baby bird waiting to fly, this workshop is for you.

 

Classes and workshops can inspire, motivate, and give the practitioner insight, but real growth and knowledge occur in the space of self- motivated home practice. There will be discussion, some small group work and play; and of course, practice to demonstrate ideas.

 

THIS WILL BE AN AWESOME AND ILLUMINATING WORKSHOP FOR ANY LEVEL TEACHER, STUDENT, OR ASPIRING PRACTITIONER.

 

Cost:
 

$35 Door
