Tending the Mind, Calming the Spirit with Daniel

Saturday, July 31, 2010
1:30pm - 3:30pm

Price: $30

"The mind is like a garden and must be cultivated or it will grow wild." - Zen Saying

Within this two hour workshop you will be introduced to one of the deeper aims of the yogic path - what is called the Witness Consciousness. This is sometimes referred to as "higher mind." "the long view" and even "looking at the bigger picture." It is this place where an individual is able to experience life, from outside of a self-directed attention, to using an objective perspective rather than a subjective one. This is from a place of non-judgement, non-manipulation and even one of non-reaction.

Learn to access this powerful tool by the application of drawing, writing, yogasana, pranayama and through the skills of observation, rumination and recording.

All are welcome regardless of level, lineage or lifestyle.

Sunday, August 1, 2010 2:00pm - 4:15pm Price: $30 Do you feel agitated on sweltering hot, sticky and humid summer days? Does your your "to do" list seem overwhelming? Are you competitive and always seeking out the next challenge, but looking for more balance in your life? Are you overbooked, overstressed and overheated? Seek shelter from the heat and the thunderstorms of the mind and body. Pamper yourself amongst the blissful embrace of restorative supported poses- slow down, surrender and open your heart to grace. A restorative practice can help boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, and relieve fatigue, anxiety and insomnia without medication. We will end with an hour of yoga nidra.
