YOGA
NIDRA WITH HEIDI TURCOT
Friday,
November 21st, 5:30 to 6:45 PM
Gentle
Yoga and Yoga Nidra
Most
of us live lives that are so busy, we lose
touch
with what it means to truly relax and be in balance. The practice of Yoga Nidra
is the antidote. Through guided imagery and relaxation, the practitioner can
reach a state of deep restful awareness. At this level of conscious relaxation,
accumulated tensions stored in the physical and
mental
layers of the body begin to dissolve and
release.
We may then return to our natural state of inner balance and heartfelt
connection to life. Slide into a
state of deep chill with this offering
at Heading Om !
"Tension
is who you think you should be,
relaxation is who you are"
~Chinese proverb
"What
lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies
within us."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

ACROYOGA
FUNDAMENTALS with Jonny Nobleza
DATE TBA in November/December!
Open
your practice with the ease, comfort and the support of a partner. This workshop
touches upon all the disciplines that AcroYoga offers, combining Yoga,
Acrobatics, and Thai Massage. The class experience includes
:
Circle Ceremony, Mirrored Asana, Partner Yoga Flow, Assisted Inversions,
Partner Acrobatics, Flying Sequences and Thai Massage. Grounded in the breath,
we will draw upon the natural forces of gravity and "metta" loving
kindness to encourage the body to let go of fear and tension. No partner
necessary!
Jonny
has a passion for all things movement that started when he was very young and
has evolved into a life filled with meditation, yoga, music, dance, and
bodywork. His intuition and understanding of the ancient tradition of Thai
Massage has emerged not only from intense formal training in the U.S., Thailand,
and Laos, but also from deep studies in movement, yoga, meditation, rhythm and
sound.
Jonny's
practice in yoga and meditation began about 10 years ago. He
completed his first teacher training at the Sivananda Ashram in
Grass
Valley
in 2004 and has since been inspired by many master teachers throughout the
country. In 2007, he was accepted into the second AcroYoga teacher training in
Santa Barbra and has since been assisting his teachers and teaching classes and
workshops across the
US. He is extremely grateful to be able to learn and share his knowledge with the
world.

EXPLORING THE INNER LOTUS -- HIP OPENER
WORKSHOP IN THE AM
10 AM to 12 PM
Ever wonder why your hips feel so tight? This workshop will help you
understand more about the anatomy of the hip, groin and back, and learn how to
safely increase range of motion while exploring and unlocking pelvic
energy. We will unwind holding patterns that restrict movement using
preparatory hip releases to increase fluidity in the pelvis. Be
prepared to move. And, be prepared for some long
holds in poses as we allow a true stretch that permits any suppressed
mental/emotional "stuff" to be
released from the body. No previous yoga experience necessary.
Strengthen, open and explore 2nd chakra energy. Grow a lotus from the inside out!!
COST $20
