Japa Meditation with Ann

/in

Learn and practice this form of meditation which focuses the mind on a mantra that is repeated once for each bead on a mala, a string of one hundred and eight prayer beads. This month, Ann introduces you to the mantra, Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha. There will be a discussion on its meaning in our Yoga practice and daily lives and instruction on using a mala to count the repetitions. This form of meditation is particularly useful for those who have trouble keeping the mind from straying off during meditation practice as it uses a tactile focus, fingers on the beads, as well as a mental focus, thinking mind on the mantra. Bring your own mala, or purchase one at Dew. Meditation is by donation of any amount to the instructor. No experience is necessary, all are welcome. 2014-01-17T18:45 One hour

We have planned a wonderful trip to Grenada- the Spice Island- as a Yoga retreat and vacation. This year, we have found a beautiful house which accommodates twelve guests in one building, all master bedrooms en suite. The house is on the beach plus has the largest infinity pool on the island. We have made special arrangements for a chef who will provide daily breakfast, seven lunches, and five dinners. There will be two yoga sessions each day, one by Michele and one by Silvana. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy. The beach, swimming, boating, golf, hiking, side trips, shopping… This is a very friendly island with lots to do. Within walking distance to local stores. The cost is 1,690 per person, excluding the flight to Grenada, including transfer to the house. Sign up fast as we will fill up quickly. Contact Michele to learn more. 2013-10-07T15:00

Qigong Workshop with Robert Ortner

Join Robert for this exciting new workshop where we will learn a complete Wu Gi Qigong sequence, combining it into an easy and fun routine. There will be an optional 4 week series to practice and memorize the full sequence. Qigong pronounced (chee gung), is an ancient health maintenance system from China that combines breathing, slow movement, and visualizations into a simple and elegant practice that can look like simple stretching or meditation. But inside, Qigong is a practice that can teach us how to realize the potential of our “Qi” in every cell and organ in our bodies. This workshop is 40 dollars per person. Please register in advance. 2013-12-01T13:00 Two and a half hours

Restorative Yoga with Reiki Healing

/in

A delicious blend of hands on and Yoga healing. Join Rita Trieger and Fern Guerra for two hours of restorative yoga while receiving hands on or hands above Reiki healing. Restorative Yoga is ‘passive’ Yoga where the body is fully supported with blankets, bolsters, and blocks in Yoga postures to enhance the flow of prana through specific pathways in the body for nourishment and restoration. Reiki is the healing art of encouraging the flow of ones own energy (universal life force) through the body. Reiki promotes healing on all levels and leaves one feeling relaxed, soothed and with a general sense of well being. Please pre register online here. 45 dollars per person. 2015-04-12T13:30 2 hours
