FOURTH OF JULY WORKSHOP with Shannon von Burns : 3 Pillars of Yoga

Saturday, Fourth of July
10am - 12pm

3 PILLARS OF YOGA

Intention, Breath and Asana

            Come join Shannon von Burns this 4th of July to celebrate the independence we carry in our hearts and minds.  This will be a 2 hour vigorous vinyasa practice intended to ignite our lives.  Intention, the moving force behind focus, will be utilized in order to clear the pathway of resistance.  Breath, the instrument for bio-energetic (or prana) development, will be used specifically in order to release toxins and invite inspiration into the infinite loop of the lungs and heart.  Asana the physical means by which we harness the mind and carry our intention into every cell of our being, will be used to relieve the stress we carry in our bodies.  Finally, we will sit in an extended meditation so that we can truly experience the deepest benefits of the body-mind connection and energetic realignment.

Small non dogmatic talk, pranayama, prana vinyasa, meditation and om chant.This class is not appropriate for absolute beginners.

*Please note this will be the ONLY class at HOT YOGA on Saturday July 4, 2009

Cost: $35

AWAKEN CONSCIOUSNESS
HEALING SAMSKARA’S (impressions)


Renewal through yoga, sweat lodge, kirtan and a sacred Fire ceremony

A Native American Sweat Lodge is a place of spiritual refuge and mental and physical healing, a place to get answers and guidance.  It symbolizes the womb of Grandmother Earth, the heated stones represent her body, which supports all life.  The fire that is used to heat the rocks represents the perpetual light of the world. Kirtan is the process of chanting sacred mantras, accompanied with music to cleanse the mirror of the mind and to rejuvenate the spirit. It is a calling to the Divine, a love call that frees the heart from past pain and fills one with joy. A sacred fire ceremony is traditionally called a fire yajna - Divinity is called into the sacred flame to burn away all that is unwanted, and to invoke auspiciousness on ones journey.  Yoga asana purifies and cleanses the mind and  body in order to receive  healing samskara’s- (impressions)

This is a long four-day weekend retreat
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains
near Charlottesville, in Central Virginia.
Seven oaks Pathwork Retreat Center
has 130 acres of forest and meadow,
beautiful gardens and lawns.
There are hiking trails,
a spring-fed pond and the nearby
Rapidan River to swim in,
a bonfire circle, a sweat lodges
and medicine wheel.

FLOW/YIN CLASS:
Beginning Saturday, Oct 18th, Susan's 8:20 a.m. class will become FLOW and YIN.  The class will continue to include strong standing work and movement,  but will also incorporate serious YIN work.  YIN poses are held anywhere from 3 - 5 minutes  and concentrate  on hips, hamstring, pelvis and the lower spine. YIN work takes you deeper into the  connective tissues of the body in order to maintain mobility and suppleness.  FLOW and YIN are opposites that perfectly compliment each other."
