Keeping your body young, your mind vibrant, and your spirit

soaring Drawing from her new book, Boomer Yoga, Beryl will introduce a

dynamic yoga practice that is especially designed for boomers to accommodate

our changing bodies and minds. This is an opportunity to experience an

energetic yet doable approach to asana practice that will both rejuvenate

and detoxify your system.  Those who are new to yoga as well as lifelong

practitioners will find this method a wonderful tool for staying healthy and

fit.  ($60)

Saturday 11am-2pm; Detox for Mind and Body:

The combined cleansing effects of sweat, breath, and attention.

Get moving with asana, bandhas, and breathing.  Build a hot fire and burn

off the toxins in your body, mind, and in your life.  Recharge.  Join in

great community to be inspired to get present, let go of resistance, change

your life and move forward with flow and joy.  ($60)

Saturday 3pm-6pm Keeping your Heart Open  

Rain or Shine Stormy or sunny, our work in yoga

is to stay open, to walk the path of non-resistance.  The minute we resist

"what is," we miss out on whatever life is offering at that moment.  And at

that moment, yes, what life is offering might be unpleasant, it might be

painful, but it is life!  The highest spiritual path is life itself.  If we

know how to live daily life, which is the point of practicing yoga, then

life becomes a very liberating experience.  Every moment is a choice - so do

we want to be happy or miserable?  Learn the secret to accepting life's

journey with gratitude and joy no matter what is going on in your life or

swirling around you. Includes discussion, questions, some references

to the Yoga Sutra (bring your translation!), and a couple of practices

to help collapse old patterns and develop joyfulness.  ($60)

Sunday 9am-12pm Are you Awake?  - Putting Your Practice to Work in the World -

Blast though, to the best of your ability another asana practice - with

mindful attention, breathing, bandhas, and joy.  REalize that you can do it.

You can steer your life.  There isn't someone or something out there

directing the course of your life.  It's right here, right now.  If you

aren't here, then where are you?  Do you even know?  If the Self isn't in

charge, well, then Who IS?  ($60)
