Neck & Back Care Yoga Workshop with Ryoko

February 11, 2010

Saturday, March 6, 1:30-3:30pm, $25 (Price increases to $30 after Feb.27, 2010) with Ryoko Suzuki.

Take better care of your neck and back, and learn to release muscular tension due to stress, injury, and even from holding yoga poses improperly!

Ryoko’s description follows:

You will be introduced to the power of Ujjayi Pranayama (Svaroopa® Yoga’s primary breathing method) and Core Opening (the spinal decompression technique) through two Svaroopa® Yoga spinal sequences. You can also set these up in your easy home yoga practice. They are especially beneficial for your back and neck.

You will find the release of your tailbone tension affects your entire physical body as well as the subtle (energy) body. Practicing yoga through these spinal sequences (starting with the tailbone, sacrum, lumbar spine and ribcage) is very powerful and the most effective method. “Stress relief and deep relaxation are intrinsic to the relaxation of your core tensions.”

Come find out how easy it is to lengthen a short, “mounted” sacrum (one of the causes of back pain) with Svaroopa® Yoga practice!

Upon completion of this workshop, you will better appreciate the importance of support from blankets and blocks and start applying this knowledge to your daily yoga practice.

No previous experience with yoga is required.

Yoga Nidra Workshop February 6th

January 30, 2010

On Saturday, February 6, 2010, New Moon Yoga LLC’s David Morgan will lead a yoga nidra workshop at 3:30pm. The workshop will last an hour and a half.

Yoga nidra literally means “yogic sleep,” and is a deeply relaxing guided meditation. Forty-five minutes of yoga nidra provides an equivalent amount of rest and relaxation to a couple of hours of sleep.

The practice of yoga nidra was developed by the late Paramhansa Satyadananda Saraswati, one of India’s foremost yoga scholars and practitioners. In his study of ancients texts, he found rituals and meditations that had been all but lost to tradition, and turned them into a very practical, deep, and best of all, easy meditative practice.

Many yoga students enjoy yoga nidra simply for relaxation. Others use it as a meditation technique to take a journey through consciousness into the unconscious, to experience wholeness, healing, and connection with Source.

The workshop will begin with a brief centering followed by a gentle posture flow to open the body before settling comfortably onto the floor for guided meditation.

Come experience this powerful stress-relieving workshop. The fee for the workshop is $20 for non-members, $15 for New Moon members. Registration is required, either by check or by paying securely online using PayPal:

January 22, 2010

On Saturday, February 20th, 2010 from 6:00-8:00pm, join Nathan Dyke for a music and meditation workshop called the “Sacred Medicine of Sound.”

Throughout the world, music has been an integral center for communication, healing, and ceremony.

The music will become a vehicle to explore more about inner self, and our connection with the divine.

For several years he has combined his musical talents and love for people, teaching drumming workshops, arranging live concerts, recording, and practicing energy-sound healing.

Spiritual Australian Didgeridoo Workshop

December 23, 2009

This interactive workshop explores the use of breath and sound frequencies to connect with the Divine, and create a deeply serene state of consciousness for the enhancement of healing, meditation, prayer and creativity.

The didgeridoo is an ancient mesmerizing drone instrument made from the eucalyptus tree and is traditionally played in healing ceremonies by the Aboriginal clans of Australia.

Playing the didgeridoo creates soothing and resonant harmonics that easily erase the ‘monkey chatter’ in the mind ~ enhancing mental clarity and emotional equilibrium.

The primordial vibrations of the didgeridoo, combined with the breathing techniques, help create a state of relaxation, lower blood pressure, relax the heart, improve digestion, and ~ as recently proven by the British Medical Association ~ significantly reduce sleep apnea.

~No prior musical experience is necessary~

All participants will be provided an instrument to play during the workshop.

Didgeridoos and meditation CDs will be available for purchase after the workshop.

Phil (Shiva) Jones was the lead singer/songwriter for the renowned English spiritual rock band ‘Quintessence’ (Island Records), and has been merging various spiritual mantras, sounds and themes into his professional music career since the 1960’s. He studied 7 years with an enlightened Hindu saint who embraced the fundamental truths of all religions. An engaging and inspiring interfaith minister and singer, Phil currently lectures and performs at churches and spiritual fellowships, wellness centers, yoga studios, and universities throughout the USA.

$20 in advance and $25 at the door
