Nia 5 Stages is a physical practice based on five stages of human development: Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Standing and Walking. Consciously moving through these stages as an adult re-integrates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual elements in such a way that after just five minutes of practice, participants notice improvements in power, range of motion, and ease in areas of their bodies other forms of exercise do not affect. This process of realignment allows the body to do what it is designed to do: explore its potential, self-heal and grow. The focus of this workshop will be Mobility and Stability.

This dynamic series will accommodate any experience level, ages 6-12. Aerial yoga is a safe way to learn coordination and proprioception: where your body is in space. As the child twists, turns, balances, stretches and hangs upside down, supported by the aerial silk hammock, there is a great increase in body awareness. This series facilitates progressive learning – from basic to more advanced coordination, strength and balance skills. Read the rest of this entry »

You move in your body. You find stillness within your Self. But do you know the stories your body tells? In this brief workshop, we will open the doors to the possibilities of learning the poetic and sacred history of our Dreaming Bodies. We will begin to access our personal mythologies–and learn how to utilize them to heal our bodies, that we devote so much time to nurture and maintain. You are not a machine, though you might have to go, go, go like one. Let’s take a few hours to stop and listen, and truly unveil our deeper truths and the keys to a better relationship with our Selves.

Brown Belt Focus: Sensing and Perceiving Energy | Intent: To live as an energetic being
By the time you reach Brown Belt, the third level of Nia education, you have developed a proficiency in sustaining awareness of your physical body and paying attention to the sensory details of the four realms: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This level of training explores the experience of living as energy beings, as every experience of sensation in the body is an energy experience.
Brown Belt Principle 1: The Joy of Movement in the Zone, introduces “The Zone,” a place of no thinking, a universe unto itself. The Zone is a state of heightened sensation inside and out, from which you can think with the both the logical mind and the intuitive parts of your being. In The Zone, energy fields are tactile and readily available to you; Brown Belt teaches you how to tap into this energy to make positive changes in each of the four realms of your life.

A cinematic pilgrimage to some of the most revered venues and festivals still surviving in Tibet. This poignant journey bears witness to the indomitable faith of its endangered Buddhist community and the imminent threat to its very survival. The vastness of the Tibetan sky, reflecting snowy mountains, rushing rivers, and turquoise lakes, leads the journey west. Tibetans respond to the denial of the human right to practice one’s religion without interference with a defiant devotion. As interviews were not appropriate because of likely retribution, VAJRA SKY employs the evocative voices of Tenzin Choegyal and Dadon, both Tibetans in exile. Many of Tibet’s most legendary musicians and singers are featured in the compelling soundtrack. Watch trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jHGlCTdLyg

This workshop is based on Continuum Movement and the observation that we are 70-80% water. Living near this beautiful moana, we know how life giving water is. Some think that water equals love. Put this thought into motion and you will have a healing experience that goes way deeper than just rejuvenating the body. All the joints, muscles and connective tissue get lubricated using spontaneous wave movement, sound and breath.
This is the month of love. By being present and open to your own spontaneously emerging movement without demand and force, you get into a loving state where your body can unwind from trauma, conditioning and unhealthy demands. WaveContinuum guides you into a movement journey moving from the right side of the brain, listening and riding the wave of loving presence that ultimately is our birthright and our connection to spirit. Benefits are expansion and joy! See: www.continuummovement.com. Price: $40 or $70 for 2 workshops. Second workshop will be March 3, 2:30-5:30 pm, WaveContinuum Workshop – Spring Renewal.

In 45 years of stunning and unseen original footage we join the original extreme sports pioneers like A.J. Hackett, in the true-life story of adrenaline seeking. Through the 60!s and 70!s we explore the road less traveled to discover virgin paradises that few ever knew of – before they tragically disappeared.

Nia 5 Stages is a movement practice based on the five stages of human development: Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Standing, and Walking. Practicing the Nia 5 Stages allows your body to naturally reclaim its natural mobility, flexibility, strength, agility, and stability. Like yoga, much of the 5 Stages practice is done on the floor. Nia Founder Debbie Rosas calls the 5 Stages practice of going down to and getting up from the floor a natural fountain of youth. Our focus will be the feet and ankles. First we have a chance to “hang-out” with our feet and ankles – getting in touch with these important foundation points of the body. We learn how our ankles and feet are naturally designed to move, based on their structure. As a result of moving through the 5 Stages with this focus, we find comfortable ways of being on our feet – perhaps for long periods of time – whether working, dancing, running or walking. The workshop will conclude with an abbreviated Nia class.

Come and join us on this voyage through the different layers of the body. You will be led through a sequence of restorative yoga postures, that support the body in finding deep relaxation by moving into the parasympathetic nervous system and out of the “fight or flight” sympathetic nervous system. We will explore some of the marma points – “energy amplification “ points – from the Indian tradition, and manipulate them through acupressure, facilitating the circulation of vital force energy through the entire body. Aromatherapy, beautifully uplifting and serene music, and candlelight will accompany you through your voyage into a deeply relaxed state, culminating in a guided meditation. Each participant will leave with a handout suggesting a sequence of the vital acupressure points to try at home. No prior yoga experience is necessary, only the desire to feel better in your body. Aum, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. Treat yourself to deep relaxation.

Dance with international guest musicians, Jaya Lakshmi & Ananda! Sure to open your heart and get you on your feet in total celebration! These two rocked the house in January!! Amazing world beat dance music with live vocals by Jaya Lakshmi.
Jaya Lakshmi is known for trailblazing new musical dimensions with her band Lost at Last, which toured in the western US from 1997-2004. All of the music is devotionally inspired, much in the kirtan style, Sanskrit prayers and songs from India in addition to original English lyrics. Thus, the new genre of ‘kirtronica’ has been born.
Similar to the the Lost at Last sound, Jaya Lakshmi’s new music is a mixture of house and tribal trance beats, with (recordings of) acoustic instruments like tabla, guitar, flute, and sarod: KIRTRONICA! In the current duo format, she sings live while Ananda runs Ableton Live (an electronic a program). They lead the audience through an ecstatic dance journey that awakens their shakti, inspiring devotional trance states and deepening their connection with the divine. http://jayalakshmiandananda.com/

To be able to breath optimally depends on the flexibility and functionality of our diaphragm and its play with the spine and Intercostal muscles. When we breathe freely, not only do we gain energy, improve general health and burn calories better, we also keep our spine supple and our neck free! Workshop will incorporate some Qi Gong elements.

A provocative social experiment-turned-documentary, Kumare follows American filmmaker Vikram Gandhi as he transforms himself into a wise Indian guru, hoping to prove the absurdity of blind faith. Instead, he finds himself forging profound connections with people from all walks of life — and wondering if and when to reveal his true self. Will his followers accept his final teaching? Can this illusion reveal a greater spiritual truth? Winner of South by Southwest’s Audience Award, Kumare is an insightful look at faith and belief. “Incredibly moving” ~ Village Voice Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXUzG6YKuvo
