YOU ARE EXPERIENCING KUNDALINI ENERGY RIGHT NOW EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF IT
while kundalini may sound like something foreign and exotic, it is not. the kundalini is a yogic name for a kind of life force that exists in all of us. it expresses in each of us in different ways depending upon who we are and how strongly it is turned on.
in its clear, powerful, healthy form it fuels our ability to function in the world and be successful. it can also take us into states of being that are beyond normal. in its pathological form it creates anxiety, disease and discomfort or exhaustion and withdrawal. in its strongest manifestations either extreme bliss or panic and raw terror are the results.
THE FIRST STEP IN GETTING YOUR KUNDALINI ENERGY TO WORK FOR YOU IS TO KNOW THAT IT EXISTS
in this workshop we will learn where the kundalini comes from and how it may be impacting our bodies and our minds. we will then learn several very simple techniques that enable us to both raise it and manage it appropriately. if your life is already going well you will have a new tool to make it better. if you have been struggling with anxiety, mood swings, sparking intense unpleasant sensations, or exhaustion you will learn how this energy has helped to create those states and how to get out of them.
instructor: ron blouch. ron’s kundalini arose accidentally fifteen years ago. it was not pleasant. after years of self medication with culturally acceptable drugs and food he finally encountered someone who gave him a very simple tool to use that turned discomfort into comfort. he has trained with susan carlson, dr.glenn morris, michael winn and mantak chia. |

what better way to connect with your partner than doing yoga for two? and on a sunday afternoon that just happens to be valentine's day!
yoga postures are powerful enough done alone but something dramatic can happen when you intertwine the movements of two people who actually like each other. tina is the yoga posture master and will guide us through movements that connect our bodies in appropriate ways. ron will direct us in moving our attention and energy together while in those postures to create a unique experience you may well have never had before.
open to all levels of yoga skill.
couple means two people, by the way. all possible human combinations over the age of 18 are welcome. while this class will be romantic no inappropriate behavior will be on the agenda |

HAVE A DEEP MEDITATIVE EXPERIENCE AND LEARN ABOUT MEDITATION IN ONE WEEKEND
FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS AND EXPERIENCED MEDITATORS - the synergy of all of you feeds each of you.
why a meditation workshop? because part of the power of working with meditation continuously over two consecutive days is that you are able to have a deep, and sometimes memorable, experience of meditation very quickly. the layers of your daily reality slowly peel away as we go into meditation for short periods with each meditation building on the last. in between we rest our minds as we learn about meditation for a time. by the end of the workshop you will get access to parts of yourself that you usually won't get to experience in a training that lasts for short bursts over several weeks.
in this workshop you will experience meditation. you will learn how to meditate. you will learn about meditation. you will learn what kind of meditation works best for you. the workshop is taught in plain english without religious context but always with great respect held for the meditative traditions. by the end of the weekend you will understand, through your own experience, what is possible in meditation and how to get there yourself.

BERYL BENDER-BIRCH, author oF the best selling book POWER YOGA, returns to just plain yoga studio!
it has been two years since beryl last visited us at JPY. during her time away she wrote yet another yoga book and has continued to teach both students and teachers around the country.
join us for three days as she shares her brilliant knowledge of asana in the power yoga/vinyasa/ashtanga tradition and as she leads us into an exploration of the core teachings of yoga. in addition to the three physical practice sessions (friday, saturday, sunday) she will guide us through several discussions of the yoga sutras of patanjali -- the text that provides the philosophical and practical foundation for all modern yoga practice.
come learn how to do vinyasa yoga in an experiential, hands on way with a master teacher. learn where the practice comes from and why you might want to do it in the first place - all in one weekend.
TEACHER TRAINING, Friday 1-4pm
Classical Raja Yoga Teacher Training
Yoga Teachers are increasingly being called upon by students to take their yoga practice to the next level. Many people are teaching asana, but very few are teaching an integral vision of the complete 8 limbed path of classical (raja) yoga, the “royal” path. Students are looking for transformation, and yoga teachers need to be equipped, beyond asana, to provide the spiritual guidance for a global shift in Consciousness.
Discover through discussion and meditation the secret teachings of classical yoga’s inner limbs encoded in the Yoga Sutra. Catapult your own practice beyond asana, to the outer edges of your spiritual potential. Beryl’s teachings of this brilliant methodology bring together like-minded souls on the journey from self centeredness and simple survival to the enlightened yoga experience of connectedness with all things.
WORKSHOP, Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday
Friday, 6-9pm
From Sweat to Samadhi: The miracle of the 8 limbed yoga methodology!
– Asana, meditation, and short discussion
Great teaching comes out of great practice. Our yoga practice inspires and transforms us in a way we cannot know when we begin. As positive change occurs, we are inspired to share with others the benefits of what yoga has done for us. The true experience of yoga is the experience of Samadhi, or the True Self and it comes out of the simple but constant effort to pay attention. This is the secret yoga code: get your attention in present time and the future will take care of itself. This is the critical work for us today and the secret of excellence in teaching and personal transformation – We must transform ourselves - the planet, our communities, our species, all species, need our best effort!
Saturday 9-12pm
Detox for Mind and Body: The combined cleansing effects of sweat, breath, and attention - Asana, pranayama, and short discussion
We are all surrounded by toxins and pollutants so keeping the vital organs in good physical shape and the immune system strong is essential for an active, healthy life. A strong, rajasic (active) vinyasa flow yoga practice is a powerful ally in keeping the body/mind running smoothly. Healthy diet and organic foods are critical but so is a method of strengthening the system and cleansing the tightness, toxins, and tension that we endure in our environment day after day.
Saturday, 2-5pm
Decoding the Yoga Philosophy – Discussion, Lecture, and Q&A
Join Beryl in a lively and enthusiastic exploration of the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutra. Far from boring, this is the way to study Sutra – with an inquisitive group of fellow practitioners, seeking the answer to “Who am I?” Unlike any experience you’ve had with Sutra Study. Bring your favorite translation of the Yoga Sutra and be prepared to read and participate in discussion.
Sunday, 8-11am
Are you Awake? - Putting Your Practice to Work in the World - – Asana, meditation, and short discussion
What does it mean to be awake? It means to be aware, conscious, observing. The revelation comes when you realize that “who you are” is not your thoughts, your stuff, your profession, or your bank account. It is the moment you get unstuck from your incessant mind chatter, if only for a moment, to possibly have an experience of yoga, of Boundlessness. Yoga – in its inner limbs and deeper stages – has very little to do with gymnastic abilities. Yoga is finding the answer to the question, Who Am I? This experience takes you beyond personal fixation to a greater concern for the well being of All. It is then that you can take your practice off the mat and into the world for the greater good!
