In a very natural way and as the body changes with age, the approach to how and what we practice changes as well.
In this workshop, Diana Meltsner, certified yoga therapist will address the needs of the changing body to stay strong and mobile, to support the joints, to sustain good balance and to enhance brain function. How can we continue to experience contentment with our Yoga practice? Sometimes that means letting go of the “Yogi” we used to be and finding the Yogi who is deeply grounded in Peace in the midst of life’s changes.

This workshop will include a gentle chair and a mat practice, presentation and sharing.
We offer teachers 2 hours CEUs for Yoga Alliance upon request.

Awe and Wonder

We’re sorry this event has been canceled.

We can only soothe the wounded body of humanity with peaceful, loving care, and it starts with ourselves. This workshop will be an exploration of the sacred energies and the worlds of Peace we hold within our hearts. Through Yoga practice, we travel together in a journey that invariably leads to awe and wonder, restoration and renewal. There will be a space for a discussion, followed by guided relaxation, visualization and mantra repetition practice.

She has also served as one of Integral Yoga’s Basic Hatha teacher trainers. Swami Divyananda Ma took monastic vows in 1975 from the great saint and yogi, Sri Swami Satchidananda. Over the years she has served as the director of the Integral Yoga Institutes in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and as Ashram Manager at Yogaville. She also served for ten years as the director of the Integral Yoga Institute in Coimbatore, India; this immersion into the South Indian culture has given depth to her understanding and practice of Yoga.

Embodied Wisdom: Yoga Practice to Awaken, 2-part

Online & In-Person | $45 for both

Please register in advance, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email.

Please review our In-person Safety Guidelines.

There is a significant benefit to understanding our Yoga practice in the context of its original intention—stilling the mind to experience the spiritual consciousness that is our essential nature. Otherwise, our approach to practicing Yoga will be determined by our unconscious beliefs and habitual thought patterns, which are strongly influenced by the prevailing messages of our culture and become a primary source of suffering.

Come prepared to practice asana, pranayama and meditation.

In part 1 of this workshop on August 9th, we will tune into the natural intelligence of the body and practice moving free of our conditioning by guiding our attention in various ways to cultivate a neutral, non-reactive awareness, and an open heart.

In part 2 of this workshop on August 16th, we will explore the pathways for the flow of prana (subtle energy) and how that awareness supports us to bring the body, breath and mind into harmony and awaken us to the spiritual consciousness at the core of being.

Over time, a regular practice of this kind will gradually restructure even the subconscious mind so that we are no longer compelled by old beliefs and fears, and approach life with a sense of deep belonging, inner contentment and wonder.
