Yoga is about transformation. The only way to do this is to approach the fire. This workshop is about discovering that inner spark that will ignite your fire and bring about lasting change. The approach is simple. We will use the navel center as our focus. You will incorporate breathing techniques, visualizations, mantra, and yoga postures to create a palpable energetic experience at the navel. Once you have captured and contained it, you will move that energy where it needs to go through a guided meditation for profound healing and empowerment. The practice will help you become more creative, courageous and resilient, ultimately helping you cope with life’s most uncertain moments. If these are the qualities you hope to cultivate in your practice, then this workshop is perfect for you. Come with an empty stomach and an open heart. 2013-10-19T14:00 One hour and thirty minutes Joe Somodi is a life long teacher, author, visionary, public speaker, certified yoga professional and steady expert.

The Yoga Sūtras of Patanjali are the most widely known text in yoga philosophy. These sūtras are very short and cryptic, so it is important to know how to interpret them and apply them in one’s daily practice. This workshop will begin with the mythical story of Patanjali’s origins and what is known of the historical person. Then we will take a helicopter view of the Yoga Sūtras to understand the major themes of the text and its deeper structure, and see its usefulness as a practical guide for a spiritual life. 30 dollars per person.
