MINI WEEKEND TEACHER
TRAINING/INTENSIVE WORKSHOP with Yoga Connection Director Bea Raydo
Information and Dates To Follow
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.

$45 preregistration only - space is limited so sign up early!
Come
explore the architecture of the
Temple of the body through the Principles of Alignment of Anusara
Yoga and discover the blueprint of your body as it was perfectly
designed and created. Make your Temple a place that is cozy and
welcoming and house your Divine spirit through your Yoga practice.
Anusara Yoga teaches that when the body is aligned the way nature
intended, we can experience more freedom and bliss, more heaven
on earth. Patty Barrocas, ERYT, is an Anusara-inspired yoga teacher
who brings enthusiasm and love through her teaching. Focusing on
a heart oriented, alignment based, fun class, students will be equally
challenged and safe. Patty is also an architect and interior designer
and a partner at her architectural firm who believes that yoga,
like architecture, should transcend the physical into the spiritual
realm. Join Patty in this amazing workshop and feel the spirit flowing
freely as you practice for the hips and shoulders, "the four
corners of your Temple".

Flow class to live sacred music. Richard performs with Bamboo Flutes
(from India and China), Native American Indian Flutes, Tablas (drums
from India), Udus (clay pots from Africa), and a Balinese Gong,

OCTOBER:
PARTNER
YOGA/THAI YOGA WORKSHOP - with Barbara Sloan & Richard Brookens
Sunday, October 10, 2010 - from 1:00 - 3:00pm
$25 per person/$50 per couple - preregistration only - space is
limited so sign up early!
Join our very own Barb and
Richard in this special 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.

Join our very own Barb and

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!
"Restorative yoga has been helpful for my paitents with
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".

NOVEMBER:
THE
12-STEPS OF RECOVERY YOGA WEEKEND INTENSIVE - with our very own
Phyllis Tannebaum ("Philly T") and Cheryl Champagne
Friday, November 5 from 6:00 - 9:00pm

$155 preregistration only
Do you notice the compulsive
patterns in yourself or others? do you feel helpless over these
patterns. This helplessness is the doorway to healing. Addictive
patterns live in the body and mind. While therapy, 12-step programs,
and self help workshops provide an opportunity to cognitively resolve
the events of the past, they give little attention to the corresponding
tensions in the physical body. The 12-Steps of Yoga, Yoga for Recovery,
assists in releasing the experiences stored in the physical body
while freeing the mind. Through asana, meditation and pranayama,
students will investigate areas of tightness and tension, allowing
for the gentle release of that which no longer serves us.
Students
and newcomers who are in 12 Step Recovery Programs (AA, NA, GA,
OA, etc) as well as friends, family, therapists, guidance counselors,
yoga teachers and anyone interested are invited to learn more about
how yoga and recovery go hand in hand...... Learn how to use the
principles of Anusara, Hatha, Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga to
heal and aid in recovery. This fascinating 20 Hour weekend workshop
will begin on Friday evening with a lecture and some light asanas.
The bulk of the workshop will continue on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Students may apply all completed hours toward Yoga Alliance continuing
education compliance.
Cheryl Champagne, MS, E-RYT 500, is an international, certified
Forrest yoga instructor, YA, an active member of the recovery community
since 1997, and the creator of the 12-Steps of Yoga, leading workshops
throughout the US, Caribbean and Central America. She creates a
rich supportive and powerful environmnet while remaining attentive
to individual needs.
Phyllis Tannebaum (lovingly known to the Yoga Connection community
as "Philly T"), MS, CYT, is certified in the Barkan Method
of Hot Yoga, Partner Yoga, and YogaFit. She has been teaching in
South Florida since 1999 and is an active member of the recovery
community since 1985. Philly T created a warm, nuturing and safe
environment while remaining compassionate to individual needs.

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.
