Namas Day Celebration

intermediate/advanced
Vigorous Vinyasa

This workshop will guide you through a variety of innovative and creative sequencing unique to the vinyasa practice. The Vinyasa yoga practice is beautiful, in that it explores not just the arrival in the asana, but the moving in and out of the postures linked by seamless and fluid transitions.

“Through the combination of Asana (yoga postures), Nada (sound), and Dhyana (meditation) an experience of gratitude is cultivated.  As this experience of gratitude unfolds, one can recognize they are being cradled in the hands of grace.” Allison Sobel

In this workshop with Maura Manzo, learn about the Chakra system and how it applies to both your practice and your life. The chakra system serves as an internal map for our deepest and most transformative journeys. Bridging together the inner and outer worlds, this system unifies and aligns our experience as both physical and spiritual beings. Leave with a deeper understanding of your self and the world around you, as how working with subtle energy can empower you to live in a more harmonious way.

 Workshop includes various practices for each chakra, including asana, meditation, visualization, partner work, journaling and more. Please bring your yoga mat, any props you may need, a journal, and a item for a community altar. Please note, this will not be a vinyasa practice and is appropriate for all levels.

"Listen to the words of the great mother who has been known by many names…" 

Many yogis are familiar with the names Kali or Lakshmi. They're stories of battle and seduction, abundance and wisdom, are woven into the tapestry many yoga classes and practices. 

Join Erick DuPree, a noted voice in Modern Goddess spirituality and author of Alone In Her Presence and Finding the Masculine in Goddess' Spiral for this exciting comparative journey into the heart of yoga's great Goddesses as well as the Goddesses from other cultures. Discover Isis, Brigid, the Morrigan, and more.  How are these Goddesses similar, how are they different, and how are they just like you.

Together we will cultivate intention, manifest sacred sounds and chants to invite empowered self-discovery. We will invite meditation, pranayama and yoga nidra to help us connect more fully with our inner divine. 

These are the stories of the ages that when harnessed can be used as tools to create new daily practices or complement existing ones.  Perfect for beginners and students of all ages! No experience with mantra needed.

Engage the core with a multidimensional understanding of it's true power! Core strength not only supports our physical alignment, it provides us with the opportunity to access and integrate our personal dharma or mission statement into our daily lives. Our dharma statement is a reflection of our core values, beliefs and purpose in this life, it reflects the spiritual, ethical and emotional essence of our truest, most evolved Self. Develop a personal dharma statement and put it into practice in a dynamic core activating, balancing and nourishing flow that reflects the integrated power of the multidimensional core.  This session includes asana as well as dharma lecture.

This workshop will explore how to recognize moments of pure aliveness—what Cara calls “glimpses of high definition, high voltage Living, moments that light you up from the inside out and fill you with a undeniable sense of clarity, vitality, and confidence.”

During this program you’ll move your body in an all levels yoga practice, settle your mind through simple mindfulness practices and discover how to be awake and fully alive even in the most ordinary moments of daily life. 

The Namas Day Celebration occurs during the astrological sign of Taurus. Taurus is associated with Earthiness, rooting, pleasure, deepening, mud, soil, and grounding.  Is it possible to acknowledge and lean into the fact that you have chosen to incarnate as a Human Being on this round globe we call Earth?  Are you able to acknowledge all of the other sentient beings around you who have also done the same?  In this closing session at Namas Day we will explore how we can embrace the physical shapes our spirits have chosen in this lifetime.  We will move towards connection with the other Earthlings in the room who have chosen to spend their day with us.  We will use the aural pleasure of music to help us do this.  In this closing session you can expect flowing asana, sparkling jewels, live opera, and an amazing DJ to accompany us.
