Yoga and Moving Through Emotions

Enroll

$25 | Please register in advance, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email.

It can be challenging to allow emotions to surface, to feel them as they arise while also having the skills to regulate and integrate them.

This workshop will examine the difference between emotions and feelings, how yoga can help to establish healthy ways to be with one’s emotions, and how to use them skillfully not only for personal and spiritual growth but also enrich one’s lived experience.

A guided practice will explore how working with body and breath can increase emotional awareness and balance.

Pranayama, Mudras and Bandhas for the Immune System

We are sorry, this event has been CANCELLED.

 

$20 Early bird, expires 9/18

$25

As the fall is starting, we invite you to join well-known yogi and holistic health practitioner Margabandhu of New Jersey in exploring the importance of the immune system and practices that improve and strengthen our immunity to viruses.

We have had many concerns over our health this past year and a half, as we should! Whether you contracted COVID or not, did or did not take the vaccine, Pranayama/Special Breathing Practice can make a huge difference to your health. Building prana, directing prana, clearing energy blockages are a few of the “behind-the-scenes” work of a full Pranayama practice. Margabandhu will explain the benefits of these practices, some of which may be new to you, as well as lead us in a complete Pranayama Practice.

Good health is our birthright. We have to be actively involved in returning our health to its optimal vital possibility. Your decisions about vaccination and treatment choices are personal, valid, and to be respected. There will be time for questions. All are welcome.

Margabandhu is a senior certified Integral Yoga instructor, proficient in all aspects of Yoga.
