The Fine Work: Deepening, Refining, Adjusting - PlayShops for Teachers and Experienced Students
6:30-9p Tuesdays May 1, June 5, July 10, and August 7, 2012 at the Integral Yoga Institute
This series will focus on how to go deep into inquiry and understanding with a pose and from this, how to grow. We will explore how a pose uniquely fits a body, or a body a pose; how to see this, consider it, convey these ideas to our students, and evolve with them. Our tools will include voice/language, demonstration, and touch. We will address serving in both ends of the continuum of rigor -- toward safe, gentle care and toward intensity and challenge, in ways which empower our students as skillful practitioners. Please leave the word "modify" at home, and bring your curiosity. Classes can be taken individually or as a series. This workshop will count for Yoga Alliance CEU hours.

Thai Yoga Massage Partner Workshops
May 22 and August 16, 2012 at the Integral Yoga Institute
This deep, loving, and accessible healing art is an ancient practice with roots in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Buddhism. You will be guided through meditation, gentle rhythmic movement, and stretching which increases connection and vital energy for both the giver and receiver. No experience with Yoga or Massage is necessary. While it can be fun to come with a friend, it isn't necessary to bring a partner. This practice is performed fully clothed. Come with your curiosity and leave peaceful, more flexible, and energized!

Summer Healing Yoga Workshop

This 3-hour workshop takes a luxurious pace through a sweet, deep practice. It aims to suit people of a wide range of interests and physical states by offering a gentle base practice with options to intensify.
We aim for healing and rejuvenation; this workshop is offered at the turn of each season as an invitation to turn inward, unwind and refresh, connect with our deeper selves, and remind ourselves why we choose life. The long class gives lots of time to play with asana practice, energetic breathing practice, meditation, and a long nourishing deep relaxation.

Why and How We Practice
Once a psychiatrist asked Suzuki Roshi about consciousness.
"I know nothing about it," Suzuki said. "I just try to teach my students how to hear the birds sing."
