840,000 Posture-bilities | A Multi-dimensional Mandala Flow Yoga Experience with Twee Merrigan

Wheel of Yoga for Cyclists (and Runners too!)Pre- and Post-Ride Conditioning Practices with David Moreno
Wheel of Yoga for Cyclists: Pre- and Post-Ride Practices was presented first as workshops for training and rehabbing professional cyclists and runners. Both cycling and running, while keeping us fit and vibrant, also make demands that, over time or through injury, can take their toll, whereas, both yoga and Ayurveda strive to nurture and support wellness on all levels decreasing what is in excess and increasing what is depleted. This user-friendly and highly practical set of pre- and post-ride practices will help sustain athletes and give them the most from their experience.
Jivamukti Yoga with Lisa Rapp
The name Jivamukti means “liberation while living.” It is taken from the Sanskrit term “jivanmukta” which is used to describe the state of enlightenment. It is a vigorously physical and intellectually stimulating practice combined with an equally strong foundation in the ancient spiritual traditions of Yoga paired with hip hop music, humor, and every day life experiences that can be aligned and resolved with yogic philisophical teachings. ”If a teacher doesn’t bring in the spiritual element, it cheats the student and dumbs down the teaching.”—David Life (New York Post)

SpiritDance SoulSong: The Symphony of Relationship with Ellen Watson and Daphne Tse
Relationships are an integral aspect of being alive; a life-long adventure that requires deep introspection into the nature of who we are and how we live moment to moment. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have used dancing and singing as tools of awareness and healing in their communities. We will practice reweaving this wisdom back into our modern experience.
As we come together in community, Ellen and Daphne will share their passions for movement, sound and song as deep meditation and ecstatic celebration of life focusing on not only our relationship to ourselves, but with our loved ones, our community and the world.

The Soul Speaks in Metaphor: The Wisdom of Sages, Warriors, and Animals within the Asana with Michele Ford
Our soul speaks softly in the language of symbolism and therefore often goes unnoticed leading to a deficiency in spiritual nourishment, deep connection and creative inspiration. Discover your inner power to change old patterns of behavior through embodying the ancient stories of sages, warriors and animals hidden within your yoga asana practice. Who is the warrior behind Virabhadrasana I, II and III? How does Hanuman accomplish the impossible? What makes the cobra a yogi’s best friend? These myths and others have the ability to uncover a truth that connects us to the power of our own intuitive wisdom and the natural rhythms of the universe – reminding us who we really are. This Jivamukti Yoga workshop will include meditation, lots of asana and enlightened insight directed toward deep personal transformation.
