Dying to Live
a workshop on death & connection to life
April 19th 1:00-5:00pm
at Elk Rock Yoga
As we emerge from the darkness of winter into the light of spring, the familiar theme of death and rebirth is echoed throughout the natural world, and with it, an invitation to shine light into the darkness and shadow that so often surrounds death, which is part of life for each and all of us.
Yoga offers many teachings around death, and the fear of it, which has real and consistent impact in our daily lives.
In this workshop we provide space and tools with which to explore our relationships with the inevitable, and to envision that process through a lens of agency and compassion. Through visualization, journaling, yoga and somatic movement, meditation, and breath work (pranayama), we turn the light of our awareness towards that shadowy and mysterious world with reverence and clarity, and in the process of facing what is often full of fear, we emerge with a greater sense of connection to life, and into a sense of how we want to live it while we’re here.

Kriya Yoga: Action & Transformation
June 7th 10a-5pm Confluence Arts Center
with Laura Ahrens-James and Allegra Chabay
The Yoga of Action- Kriya Yoga to Make Things Happen
The practice of kriya yoga is composed of three yoga philosophical tenets that, when braided together, are powerful agents of change and transformation. Kriya yoga translates to the yoga of action, and is put forth in one of the earliest yogic texts as a method to remove even the biggest obstacles. This workshop will explore each of the pillars in its own right, as well as in relation to each other, and how they can be applied both on and off-the-mat so you can make things happen, move through any roadblocks, and keep taking action toward what’s most important to you.
