Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice that has the potential to provide a quality of rest and restoration in the nervous system that we may not get from sleep. Additionally, this practice provides us with the tools to learn to meet life with an attitude of welcoming, and as we learn to embrace what is, we let go of the stress that arises that comes with fighting reality. As we learn to meet life with an attitude of welcoming, we have more energy, more vitality, and potential for joy and a sense of well-being.

Are you looking to personalize your yoga program and gain maximum benefit in integrating body mind and soul? The knowledge of Ayurveda (the oldest healing tradition in the world) is a crucial key to this. According to Ayurveda, biological existence is a dance of the three doshas, or mind-body types: vata (air-space), pitta (fire-water) and kapha (earth-water). While the three doshas are present in all of us, one of the three predominates in each individual and becomes the basic force of her/his particular constitution and mind/body type. When your dosha is balanced you experience happiness and ease. With the knowledge of Ayurveda, we can use our yoga practice to not only ensure health, but to actualize our full potential as human beings. Learn what it means for your dosha to be in and out of balance and how to guide yourself in a practice of select asanas, pranayama and meditation to bring forth and maintain balanced energy and positive radiance.

One of the meanings of "yoga" is to yoke or unite our polarities so they do not fight and contradict each other. Our practice shows us how these polarities are, instead, complementary opposites that serve to make us more whole and balanced in our lives. In this workshop with Suzie Hurley, we will look at polarities in a variety of poses, including inversions and backbends, and use them to align the physical, emotional, and mental body in a precise and life affirming way. Anusara Yoga helps us to see the joy in both our unity and diversity. The workshop will include an explanation of the Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment and the Tantric philosophy on which it's based.
