2010 WORKSHOPS &
TRAININGS:
FEBRUARY:
VALENTINES
DAY PARTNER YOGA/THAI YOGA WORKSHOP - with Barbara Sloan & Richard
Brookens
Saturday, February 14, 2010 at 2:00 - 4:00pm
$40 preregistration only - space is limited so sign up early!
Join our very own Barb and
Richard in this special Valentines Day partner yoga workshop and
don't worry if you don't have a partner. We will match you up. This
is not a romantic workshop. Instead, students will work with each
other learning various "massage" techniques to help your
partner release and relax, and with some exciting therapies to treat
the senses such as chocolate and aromatherapy. By releasing muscular
tension while being stretched, rocked, rolled, lifted and otherwise
manipulated, and by accessing the power of the breath, we can find
much more space in the body while releasing deep seated tension
and misalignment, with the intention of moving toward a greater
sense of ease.
Richard Brookens is certified in Thai Yoga from both The Lotus Palm
Thai Yoga School in Montreal and the Vedic Conservatory in Orlando.
He is also certified in Sivananda Yoga and Kundalini Yoga and has
been teaching in South Florida since 1998.
RESTORE
AND REJUVENATE YOGA WORKSHOP - with Barbara Sloan & Richard
Brookens
Saturday, February 27, 2010
$40 preregistration only - Be sure to sign up early as this wonderful
workshop is limited to only 12 lucky students!
Join
our very own Barb and Richard in this popular monthly workshop.
Treat yourself to this amazing journey that begins with a short
warmup of restorative yoga poses, going deep into the body to allow
a profound release of physical and mental tension. Then let Barb
and Richard pamper you with their total love and support in this
relaxing and nurturing atmosphere with aromatherapy, soft lighting
and relaxing music. Individual Thai Yoga Work will be added at the
end of the workshop while in deep relaxation, working one on one
with the instructors, who will assist in opening any areas of the
body that are especially challenging to you. Or you can take your
choice of a neck, foot, or abdominal massage. Please bring any extra
blankets, pillows and bolsters you may have, and remember to preregister
early to reserve your place in this this blissful workshop!

diverse conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, high blood pressure,
asthma, migraine and ension headaches, stress-related disease, chronic
fatigue, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer".

MARCH:
MINI WEEKEND TEACHER
TRAINING/INTENSIVE WORKSHOP with Yoga Connection Director Bea Raydo
Saturday, March 20 & Sunday, March 21 from 1:00 - 5:30pm
$50.00 each session or $80.00 for both days
Take
Your Practice to New Levels! Whether you are a seasoned practitioner
or just beginning your path of Yoga, this workshop is for you! Awaken
to the multiple benefits and joys of the Yoga path.
Yoga is
not a form of physical exericse. Nor is it a system of belief. Yoga
has no religious implications. In this intensive workshop, students
will learn what Yoga and its teachings are really all about and
expand your experience of the Yoga Philosophy. Learn about the way
of life that lays deep inside of you waiting to be awakened. Learn
about Meditation and the purpose of Meditation from a practical
and "void of myth" perspective. Yoga is about Awarenenss,
about paying attention. Yoga that cultivates awareness and attention
takes time. In heightening our practice, we more fully taste the
sweetness of our efforts.
This is not a Yoga Class, although we will have an hour of Asanas
on the floor to move energy inside our spine, and practice consciousness
of the process. We will harvest insight and self-observation which
will deepen and expand our practice. Hatha Yoga is not seeking of
perfection in physical form, instead it is a development of wisdom,
self-understanding and liberation of mind.
As this intensive workshop is part of Yoga Connection's Teacher
Training Program, students who are serious about expanding your
level of understanding of the system of Yoga may go on to take our
200 Teacher Training and apply your workshop payments to your 200
hour training in June of 2010.

IN 2010
200 Hour Teacher Training
- scheduling now for June 2010 - details to follow - call to put
your name on the list
THE
SACRED CIRCLE - with Dr. Mike Lukens, PHD and Ailene Rogers
Three Month Family Series on Friday evenings from 4:30 - 6:00pm
--- (check with us for start date as we form our group)
$1500 per family - limited to small groups only
Parents,
Teens and Young Adults join our very own Ailene Rogers and Dr. Mike
Lukens, PHD, in this new 3
month intensive workshop exclusive to Yoga Connection. As we all
know, life has become increasingly stressful and sheltering our
children from “adult” stresses is almost impossible.
Even when we try to shield our children, other influences beyond
our control get past our shield--be it television, their friends,
or other well-meaning adults in your child’s life. These stress-
inducing influences often “fly under the radar” taking
their toll on our children in unimagined ways.
Many of our children turn to external stimuli in order to soothe
the pain brought about by their anxiety and stress. Some turn to
food, to alcohol, to shopping, others to promiscuity and drugs.
In Sacred Circle, you will have the opportunity to go deep into
the causes and solutions to these issues, in a supported atmosphere.
In Sacred Circle, the work can be hard. Participants will experience,
move through and move past their guilt and grief in order to open
the pathway for healing, honesty and joy.
This Sacred workshop is led by Michael Lukens, Ph.D., a published
author and a human emotions expert with over 25 years in the field,
and Ailene Rogers, who has been working with Dr. Lukens for over
10 years.
Take your relationship with your child deeper than you had ever
hoped. Heal yourself, heal your child.
