The 5 Categories of Asana: A Yoga Teacher Continuing Education Course with Amy Lucky & Tania Melkonian

Movement is mechanically controlled by our bones and muscles, but the animating forces arise from the subtle body. Yoga Alliance defines the five categories as: Standing Poses, Forward Folds, Twists, Backbends and Inversions. When we focus on physical alignment alone, we fail to understand the forces that make a yoga asana distinct from a shape that we just make with our limbs. In this training, you will learn to see how the subtle body mingles with the physical body to create the energetic flow necessary for energetic and physical alignment. You can expect a complete education in chakras, granthis and vayus, and a cueing vocabulary that will connect you and your students to the purpose and beauty of each asana.

THE VILLAIN ERA: AUTUMNAL EQUINOX FESTIVAL

We've all been the villain in someone's story at some point in our lives... and it's very likely we've all dealt with a villain of some sort ourselves. But how true is that, really? How honestly have you explored your depths? Do you have an archetype you identify with or deny? What does it even mean to be GOOD or BAD? Maybe- we could take the time to embrace ourselves WHOLLY, as the multifaceted mystical beings that we are.

The Equinox approaches and it is time to gather. As we move into the Autumn, we move into longer nights and shorter days. We move into cooler weather, and longer shadows. The transition of seasons becomes the practice once again. We're creating an immersive event that welcomes your shadows, your darkness and your MYSTICAL MOOD.

Euphoric- a Cacao Ceremony & Yoga Nidra with Xayleen

Together let's travel to the depths of our heart's desires! In ceremony, we will observe the ancient ritual of preparing the cacao drink from start to finish. While we sip on this luscious warm beverage, the plant medicine that lives in the ceremonial grade Cacao will assist us in gently opening our hearts even wider. Now we are ready for Yoga Nidra - a state of consciousness between wake and sleep where we plant the seeds of a heartfelt intention. Allow the beautiful combination of these sacred practices to uncover what lies deep within us, what cannot be accessed through the conscious mind. Wear clothes that feel ceremonial and are comfy to be seated and laying down in for most of the ceremony. Bring your mat and a journal.
