The Dance of Life: Shakti and the Panchakriyas in

Pancha means five. Kriya means action. The Panchakriyas of the Shiva Nataraja (Lord of the Dance) are the five actions of Shiva as he dances Ananda Tandava which is also know as the Dance of Bliss. Explore this dance with Nora and Judy through the symbolism of Shakti, or the Divine Feminine.  Each session over our 3-day retreat will explore one of the five actions and how they are expressed through the goddesses Kali, Saraswati and Lakshmi who are all expressions of Shakti and ultimately each of us. Our weekend together will begin on Friday afternoon and we will end after lunch time on Sunday with a May pole dance where we celebratethe dancer within us all. Nora and Judy are excited to be able to offer this weekend retreat. No matter what your level of Yoga is or if you have never practiced Anusara Yoga, we welcome you to join us for this beautiful, relaxing, rejuvenating, and inspiring weekend!

Hello!

Jana here from Edmonton. I wanted to let you know I’m going to be running a weekend workshop in Canmore at the new Sacred Roots studio. It’s a beautiful brand new space definitely worth checking out!

The Friday night standing and inversion practice will focus on the first principle Open to Grace focusing foundation and really experiencing the raw power of “Root to Rise” the build stability in your poses.

Saturday morning’s heart opening practice will explore muscular and organic energy in relation to back bending and “Open to the Possibilites” of back bending being a spinal extension practice.

Saturday afternoon we’ll individually “Remember Who You Are” as we dig deep into inner and outer spiral while we fold forward & open our hips to excavate our Dharma as Souls in this human experience.

Sunday afternoon’s Arm balancing practice we’ll explore the bandha’s as they relate to the loops in the body to “Step to Your Edge.” Intelligent engagement of the loops / Bandha’s will create a buoyancy in your body, giving you the courage to fly!

Each workshop will build on what we covered in the one before and at the same time – if you can only make it to one or a couple – each will be designed to feel complete in itself.

I don’t have the information yet – but it looks like we’re going to have some accommodations available for those of you who would like to make a weekend out of it. Email me for details.

If you have any questions – please get in touch! My email is jana.renee@gmail.com or my phone number is 780-660-5262.

Hanuman’s Tale: Inspired by Myths of Hanuman

June 3-5, 2011

Come and align your body, open your mind, and engage your heart in a weekend of yoga. Noah will weave mythic allegory of Hanuman, mostly from the epic Ramayana, throughout each session to create a powerful opportunity for transformation. All levels welcome. Come prepared to work and play hard!

 

Noah Maze is celebrated in the yoga community as one of the most advanced and proficient practitioners and teachers of Anusara® Yoga. Born into a household of yogis, Noah grew up steeped in the yoga tradition and its practices. In the 1990s, Noah worked as an outdoor educator and wilderness guide, helping people access the transformational power of nature. After a life long study of yoga, Noah began studying with John Friend in 1995 and was awestruck. Not long thereafter, he also became a devoted student of Tantric scholar, Dr. Douglas Brooks. Noah was certified to teach Anusara Yoga in 2002. Widely sought out as a teacher’s teacher, Noah is one of only 12 individuals worldwide serving on the Anusara Yoga Curriculum Committee. He also sits on Anusara Yoga’s Certification Assessment Committee, and has been invited to teach with John Friend at both of Anusara Yoga’s “Grand Gatherings.” Noah’s therapeutic teaching is informed by years of anatomical study, successful practice with rehabilitating injured students and his experiential knowledge of the body and its innate healing capacity. Noah maintains an active local, national and international teaching schedule. In his limited spare time, he enjoys riding his bike, shopping at the farmer’s market and reading obscure yogic texts. Noah lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Tracy, and their sweet toddler, Madeleine, and four rescued four leggeds.

Immersions

The Anusara Immersion program takes you on a journey into the heart of Anusara Yoga through asana, philosophy, pranayama, meditation, anatomy and physiology. The Immersion series is perfect for those wishing to explore the mysteries and profound practices of this method of yoga. There is no pressure to teach yoga or any instruction on how to teach, only the pleasure and challenge of plumbing the depths of this practice.

John Friend, the founder of Anusara Yoga, has developed a new curriculum for Anusara Immersions that focus on “studentship.” Through the Immersion series you will become a better student of yoga. This Series is also a requirement for the three-part Teacher Training Series and for future Anusara Inspired™ and Certifed Teachers.
