Kundalini Yoga and Meditation
Kundalini Yoga helps raise our awareness, allowing ourselves to connect with our own inner truth and knowing. In order to achieve that, a combination of chanting (mantra), breath work (pranayama), movement (kriya), relaxation, meditation & song is used. Many of the motions are repetitive with the belief that in exploring polarities, it enables us to find our individual center and move forward more gracefully on our life path. The focus and energy of each class will provide different opportunities to challenge yourself to adroitly grow and be with the stillness at your core. There are no expectations for you in terms of your physical ability and we can work together for you to have an experience no matter what physical form your being resides in. You are invited to honor your being and feel the rewards in the relaxation period and beyond! Two separate class periods are offered. Period 2, Period 3 ~ Saraswati Deva Kaur
Morning Yoga: Yawn-Stretch-Yoga
All ages and all levels can participate in the instructor's hatha style yoga class. The instructor will lead the students through a gentle flow, usually beginning with breath exercises to thread into the initial sitting positions, followed by a sequence of standing asanas and ending with a deep relaxation in a few restorative poses. Classes will bring your awareness to both breath and the practice of "letting go" to help eliminate physical and mental toxins to leave you feeling recharged and more receptive. The week is cumulative and students will get the most out of the lessons by attending classes every day. 7:00 AM ~ AJ Blye
NOTE: This class registers separately from the regular 9 AM - 5:30 PM classes. This class is an add-on costing $50 for all students.
Yoga with AJ Blye
Yoga means to Yoke, to Join, to Connect. Asana; a Sanskrit word, means Seat, or yoga pose. Yoga is many things to a great many people. Experience Asana (yoga poses) as a means to connect us through yoga. We will study “Why This Pose”. If you know “why” then you also know how to use it. When you need to be stimulated, there’s a pose for that; when you need to chill, there’s a pose for that too. Through the study of some of the basic yoga poses and a few fancy or delicious poses, we will explore how you can build and sustain your home yoga practice. You will have what you need in order to face the mat daily; a sequence of poses from a tool-kit of asana (poses). Most importantly, you will understand why to use a particular pose. Let’s do yoga!

The Rhythm Gym
Experience a journey of intentional (not conditioned, not reflexive) rhythmic movements-in-place, to powerful exotic music. This workshop is ideal for teachers, artists, and anyone striving for personal growth and continuing education. We will explore and build upon many connections between current breakthroughs in brain/body science and movement-with-music. Students should be in a space allowing for freedom of movement. Use of earbuds or headphones is not recommended for this class, as we will be engaging in a lot of topsy-turvy moves! Movement experience is not necessary! Period 3 ~ Steve Bloom
Yoga for All Levels
This all-levels yoga class is for beginner to intermediate level practitioners. A typical class consists of a period of breathing and centering; posturing (asanas); and relaxation and/or meditation. All poses can be tailored to the individual needs. You can expect every class to be different, with some postures repeating and some new every day. You will finish the 5-day course with a strong foundation to support your own home practice. Period 5 ~ Tatiana Rakhmanina
