Unfortunately, Rainey's workshops for this upcoming weekend were cancelled today.  The next visit from a certified Anusara Teacher will be Jonas Westring at Hemma on August 21.  Then Chris Chavez will be at Moksana Yoga on Sept 16-18.

Elizabeth 'Rainey' is coming to Victoria this weekend.  It is a treat to have Certified Anusara teachers come visit the city.  I had the priviledge of studying/practicing with Rainey last August.  She is a tremendous teacher.  She speaks with a clear and concise confidence.  I highly recommend coming for at least one or maybe ALL the workshops.

A Weekend of Yoga with Elizabeth Rainey, Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor
Date: July 15-17
Where:  Moksana Yoga, Victoria
 
The Adventure of the Heart
 
Our Heart is the locus of perception and deep knowing. It is the place where experience and meaning intersect so that we transform ordinary moments into an extraordinary life. In the practice of Anusara Yoga we endeavor to move from our heart with sensitivity and creativity so that we can return to our heart more whole and true. You are invited on this wild adventure of the Heart. Please join us.

Happy Canada Day / Summer,

I'm freshly back from a weekend of workshops on the Bhagavad Gita with Robin Golt  in Tofino.  The Tofino Anusara community is an impressive and vibrant group, thanks in large part to Anusara-Inspired instructor Natalie Rousseau Horscroft.  Check out her class if you make it up for a surf!  Below are some updates for July:

SHOULDER THERAPEUTICS WORKSHOP on JULY 23

The muscles and joints of the shoulder allow for remarkable range of motion for the arms. This extreme mobility can come at the expense of stability. This workshop will apply the Universal Principles of Alignment™ to bring the shoulders back into anatomical neutral. It will introduce specific shoulder principles, including: Inner Body Bright, Side Body Long, and Shoulder Loop. Learn how to optimally align the shoulder girdle to develop strength & stability to allow for ultimate freedom. The best therapy is good alignment.
Date:  Saturday July 23rd, 2011
Time: 1:00-3:00pm
Cost:  $30 + HST
