The Yoga Sutras, considered to be one of the most revered texts of yoga, is thought to be more than 2,500 years old. These ‘threads’ on yoga or union, state concisely and elegantly the essential wisdom to achieving self-realization. Originally these teachings were passed on in the ancient oral traditions, intimately shared from teacher to student. Even today almost every translation of the sutras includes pages and pages of master commentary deemed useful to impart the correct teachings, methods and sacred wisdom necessary to achieve Yoga. Nischala Joy Devi will impart her heart-centered intuitive interpretation of The Yoga Sutras from her book The Secret Power of Yoga.

Nischala Joy Devi is a divinely feminine perspective of The
Yoga Sutras which offers students an opportunity to partake in the unfathomable sense of peace, emotional and spiritual enlightenment that is our birthright.

This is a regional training opportunity with Camella Nair, aka Swami Nibhrtananda ATRIC C-IAYT, at the beautiful, historic Safety Harbor Spa & Resort.
By taking yoga into the water, we make it accessible to people who may otherwise never try, and therefore never enjoy the many benefits that yoga can bring. With the aging population in particular, yoga in the water is supportive of the lower joints, helps reduce swelling, and encourages increased ROM. The water actually becomes a variable weight machine that can ramp up ones practice for general fitness, or become a compassionate environment for people who are new to yoga, rehabilitating from injury, or delaying surgery. Don't expect a course that merely translates asanas from land to water. This training explores the reasons why and how yoga poses done in the comfort, stability and support of water can make people's lives more rewarding.

The Doctor From India is a meditative and immersive portrait of the life and work of Dr. Vasant Lad, the holistic health pioneer who first brought the ancient medical practice of Ayurveda from India to the west in the late 1970s. Integrating his gifts as both a healer and a mystic, Dr. Lad has dedicated his life to sharing what is considered the oldest healthcare system on earth in the complex medical landscape of the United States. This is the beautiful and inspiring story of a man who has for decades been quietly at the center of a revolutionary movement to change the way people care for their bodies and their spirits.

This documentary event is hosted by the newly formed Ayurveda Association of Florida! We are excited to offer the Tampa Bay yoga community an excellent film about one of Ayurveda's revered physicians. We hope to see you there, Namaste' Denise O'Dunn

Yes, yoga poses must be taught and performed in a way that eliminates the risk for injury. And, yes, the poses should be visually recognizable.
Asana (the physical exercises most folks simply call yoga these days) is not the goal of yoga, it is simply a tool. According to Patanjali, as described in the Yoga Sutras, the only alignment necessary is to be comfortable, steady, and relaxed in asana.

All people have a unique anatomy. No two bodies are the same, we all have different strengths and weaknesses, and our joint structures can vary greatly. So why do we have styles of yoga that have a one-size-fits-all approach to alignment?

Join Wanda for an amazing workshop on the Basic Alignment of the Body beginning at 12:30 pm.

This is a 200 hour teacher training course that will help prepare an individual to teach the fundamentals of most styles of Yoga. Learn the Bio-mechanics of Yoga Practice and how to utilize Yoga for clinical rehab and special populations, as well as exercise modifications and modalities.

This is also a great learning tool for those of you that just want to learn more about yoga. The Fundamentals of Yoga is a 200 Hour Yoga Alliance teacher certification.
The cost of the training is $2200
Separate Pricing for some of the scheduled Workshops not to exceed $30 a workshop.

With a focus on “developmental trauma disorder,” a new and vastly expanded tool for understanding early childhood trauma, this special therapeutically oriented workshop centers on the unique way a child’s nervous system and brain respond to traumatic events, including chronic emotional and physical abuse and neglect.

What you will learn:
- How early childhood trauma dramatically affects brain function and neurological development and impacts a child’s ability to learn, manage stress, and develop relationships later in life

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

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
