It's true, about a quarter of way through 108 Sun Salutations we all ask ourselves "why did I sign myself up for this?"....We can't think of a better way to enter the New Year than answering some hard questions right out of the gate! Let your body do the talking as it adapts to the repetition of movement, and who knows, it may render you that much needed discipline you crave during a change of season.

The Body Electric's Jessica Mihm will provide you with the mental stamina and modifications you need to keep your body happy. DJ Menscha will be providing the jams. Sweat out the old and make way for the new at Cage Brewing! Dress in layers, bring a mat, and set your intention for the year ahead. Afterward, hang out with your fellow yogis and toast great beginnings with a Cage brew or Mother Kombucha.

Aham Prema is a mantra meaning "I am divine love." It comes from the Sanskrit, aham, meaning "I," and prema, meaning "love" or "affection." Mantras are repeated silently or aloud for their powerful sound vibrations, which are thought to affect prana (life-force energy) in the body and for their ability to transform or achieve a purpose.

Join Jessica Mihm for an hour of chanting to raise your love frequency. We'll finish with a guided Yoga Nidra that'll be sure to set you up right for (a self-loving) Valentine's Day.

Get out of that rut. Stay effective and inspired! This 5-hour workshop with Rachel Miller will focus on BROADENING your horizon as a teacher, and reigniting your passion as a student.

Being a yoga instructor takes a lot of time, work, energy, and commitment. Every time you teach, you're sharing a piece of yourself. Many of us know what it's like to lose inspiration in the hustle and bustle of juggling private clients, managing a busy class schedule, and finding time for your own practice - not to mention holding down a day job!

This refresher is designed to rekindle the flame, while sharpening your tools in sequencing, cueing, anatomy, and playlist creation.

We'll start the morning with a 2-hour vinyasa flow and meditation practice, so you can enjoy being a student again. In the afternoon, we'll get to work, learning and sharing successful techniques and methodologies together. There is no one right way to do something! Staying authentic to yourself and responsible to your students means you can never afford to stop learning.

Annie Okerlin presents iRest Yoga Nidra at The BE!

iRest is a meditation practice based on the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra and adapted to suit the conditions of modern life. When practiced regularly it can create a strong sense of inner peace and wellbeing, which you can bring to any difficult situation.

iRest Yoga Nidra is a research-based transformative practice of deep relaxation and meditation. This guided meditation is generally practiced lying down or seated comfortably with props.

In 2006 Richard Miller, PhD, of the Integrative Restoration Institute (IRI), developed the protocol and led the initial iRest research at Walter Reed Army Hospital. In June of 2010, Yoga Nidra was endorsed by the US Army Surgeon General and Defense Centers of Excellence as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).

In this workshop you will:

• hear about the history of iRest
• learn how iRest supports the nervous system
• learn the protocol as we use it
• select a specific topic: heartfelt mission/desire, inner resource, spaciousness, opening the void, etc.
• Practice (40-55 mins)
• Have any questions answered

These anatomy sessions are a part of Jessica Mihm's High Vibration Living Yoga Teacher Training and are taught by Dr. Lance Robbins of RX Chiro.

The act of ritual prostration is an important component of many of the world's great spiritual systems. Bringing one's body to meet the earth is recognized as a profound technique for the cultivation of devotion, contemplation, humility, health, and ecstatic exaltation. In recent times, the Namaskar form of prostration to the solar archetype has become a ubiquitous component of modern postural yoga classes.

Join John-Allen Gibel for an exploration on the history, anatomy, evolution, and power of the Namaskar, with a particular focus on the yogic variation of the practice as found in the wisdom traditions of Tibet. The Tibetan style of prostration is a sincere gesture of an intention towards enlightenment, and is said to purify negative karma, to cleanse the energetic channels, prana, and power centers of the yogic body, and to effect transcendental insight and healing. It is common among both lay-persons and monastic Tibetans to perform hundreds of thousands (and in some exceptional cases, millions) of prostrations over the course of a lifetime. After we explore theory, we will learn the proper practice, so come prepared to sweat.

Proceeds from this workshop will go to the construction of a new shrine for the Tibetan Buddhist Monastic Community of Drong Ngor, located in Wesley Chapel. More information about Drong Ngor can be found at www.dnjus.org

THE UNIVERSE INSIDE THE BODY OF THE YOGI: A JOURNEY INTO THE CHAKRAS, GRANTHIS AND NADIS (20 HOURS) WITH MASTER TEACHER YOGANAND MICHAEL CARROLL, E-RYT 500, IAYT
Ancient texts of Hatha Yoga state that inside the body of the yogi are mountains, valleys, oceans, and rivers; the moon and stars move in that inner space.
When practice took ancient seekers deep inside, they encountered an amazing world beyond rational thought. They used symbols to map this inner journey and, over time, those symbols became the esoteric Chakras, Granthis, and Nadis of medieval Hatha Yoga.
Come and see what you find when you shine the light of Kriya, Asana, Pranayama, Bandha, and Mudra into your inner world and look closely through the eyes of meditation. Come and practice as the ancient yogis did, using Hatha Yoga rituals to remove the obstacles to inner experience.

Learn Headstand
Master one of yoga's most powerful yoga postures. Headstand, often called "King of Asanas". It is best known for its many profound spiritual, physical, and mental benefits. To learn headstand (Sirsasana) safely, it's best practiced stage-by-stage.

8 Simple Steps
In this workshop you will learn to systematically progress your headstand through 8 simple steps. This gradual approach gives you a strong foundation to hold a headstand steadily and in correct alignment.

Join both Shahar and Jenny Miller for this workshop that is suitable for all levels, including those who are brand new to the headstand or intimidated by being upside down or falling.

Those who already have a headstand practice will learn to hold longer, stronger, and more comfortably, as well as to transition into other more advanced variations of the headstand.

"Sirsasana is really a blessing and nectar. Words will fail to describe it's beneficial results and effects. This is a panacea, a cure-all."
-Swami Sivananda
