The Sound of Yoga is Om

Saturday, May 15, 2010, 1 -3 PM, Om Factory NYC

“The word expressive of Isvara [the supreme cosmic soul or God] is the mystic sound OM.”
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 1-27

This workshop is a practical and philosophical deconstruction of the mystic sound OM and its visual symbol.  The workshop format is a two-hour, all-levels vinyasa class.  Pranayama (breath control) and vocal techniques that facilitate maximum resonance of the body while sounding the OM are woven into the flow of the class.  As a result participants begin to understand the great significance of OM as it relates to the tradition and experience of Yoga.

Happy Hips

Sunday, May 3, 2009, 6:15 - 8:30 PM, Big Apple Power Yoga, NYC

New Yorkers inevitably do a lot of walking.  We also do a fair amount of sitting.  Then for exercise we run, cycle, spin and dance.  All of these activities have at least one common effect:  tightening your hips.

Thankfully with patience, consistency, use of props and right alignment we can release this tension.  As a result you will experience more freedom and creativity on and off your mat.  

In this workshop we will explore safe, patient and effective approaches to opening the hips.  Common postures and variations will be practiced.  We will also explore some advanced hip opening postures and variations.
