Friday 6-9pm Boomer Yoga: Keeping your body young, mind vibrant, and spirit soaring

Drawing from her book, Boomer Yoga, Beryl will introduce a dynamic yoga practice that is especially designed for boomers (ages 40-70) 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. All welcome-teachers and students.

Saturday 9am-12pm Bandhas, Breath and Drishti

Learn to use the three techniques of bandhas, breath, and drishti to catapult your own practice beyond asana to the outer edges of your spiritual potential.   These three aspects of yoga practice are not just incidental additions to asana, they are profound and powerful aids to the development of mindfulness, and designed to bring the attention into focus in the here and now.  That alone is where we find lasting Joy and the true experience of yoga.  Then alone can we call our practice (abhaysa), practice! 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.    Mostly asana (vinyasa style) with some discussion.

Saturday 2-5pm Yoga Meditation for Stress Relief

Turn on the Relaxation Response and relieve anxiety and depression in just 12 minutes a day.  There is a mind body revolution under way in the medical world.  For a long time about the only people who knew about the benefits of mind body practices like yoga and meditation were those who were studying metaphysics or following some kind of a spiritual path.  But now scientists and physicians are investigating meditation to see how it can benefit our physical and mental health.  New studies and data are showing and confirming what the yogis have always known!!!  That meditation can help relieve stress, help people with depression and anxiety disorders, and improve the quality of life for sufferers of chronic disease, like MS or cancer, or diabetes, and other physical ailments.  We now have scientific proof that the mind can heal the body.  And it can help to relieve stress in our lives and bring greater peace of mind and a deeper sense of joy and happiness starting today.  Includes practice and discussion.

Sunday 10am -1pm The Rewarding Practice of Asana (for teachers & students)

Asana, or the practice of the yoga postures, is the physical portion of classical yoga, the 8 limbed path, and is designed to heal and therapeutically align your human body.   It is not exercise or sport, but movement with careful attention.  In this workshop Beryl will share with you over 40 years of teaching experience in assisting, adjustments, alignment, alternative and modified postures, and many aspects of the therapeutic value of a hands-on yoga tradition.   The class will help you to learn to move yourself or others safely into yoga asana without injury – from an awkward, tight, and unfocused beginning, to a practice that is fluid, graceful, and mindful. Discussion, Q&A, and light asana practice.

All workshops are eligible for continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance
