With Kelley Gardner
Saturday, Sept 25, 2010
9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Energy Anatomy can seem vague and “airy-fairy” depending on how it is presented.
However difficult to explain, we all know what it feels like when our “energy” is depleted or imbalanced. We know what the air feels like when we walk into a room where someone just had an argument. Without any reason, you may feel totally at ease with some people and defensive around others.
When we learn more about the energy system and blend our understanding with yoga, we can clear old, unnecessary energy patterns from our body/mind and and create new, healthier responses in life.
Over 20 years of study and practice in Energy Anatomy, certified Anusara Yoga teacher Kelley Gardner has developed a clear and practical understanding of how we create our own unique energy systems and how to work with ourselves to understand our defenses, our needs and how to restore balance.
Workshop date: Saturday, Sept 25, 2010
Time:
9:30-12:30 – Overview of Energy Anatomy and how it affects our Adult Lives plus Anusara Yoga practice with a focus on standing poses and back bends. All levels yoga class.
2:30-4:30 - Meditation and Pranayama to refine your understanding of the Energy System. Anusara Yoga practice with a focus on forward folds, hip openers,
and twists. All levels yoga class.
Cost:
All day - $75
Morning (3 hour) - $50
Afternoon (2 hour) - $35
