Class will be cancelled on June 4th as I will be returning to Victoria late in the evening after a 4-day retreat. I will be back at Moksha Yoga's Moon Room on Thursday, June 7th.
May the fourth be with you today my friends! And Happy Anniversary to my Mom and Dad. It is a special Yoda Yoga update for May 4th with some yoga related Yoda quotes! In order to dive deeper into my own study and practice, I have lightened my teaching schedule at Hemma Yoga. It is providing me more time to prepare for a 4-day, 32-hourYoga Immersion, co-facilitated with Trevor Yelich in late June. The Immersion is not an official Anusara immersion. However, it will cover similar Principles of Alignment, Energetic Loops, Philosophy, Bandhas, and Pranayama. - "Always in motion the future is" Yoga Class Schedule I am still teaching independant classes at Moksha's Moon Room and will continue throughout the summer months. Moon Room Schedule (http://www.jonathanboydyoga.com/classes.html) Monday, 7:30pm to 8:30pm (cancelled May 21 - Victoria Day) Thursday, 7:30pm to 8:30pm Drop-in: $12, student rates and punch cards available. Hemma Schedule (http://www.hemma.ca) Sunday, 12:30pm to 1:30pm Hemma Yoga is now on a sliding scale. Pay based upon how much you make. Don't sweat, some great teachers are taking over the Tuesday and Saturday classes, Trevor Yelich will be the regular teacher, and a visiting Anusara-Inspired teacher, Jess Kamell, from Western Australia will likely sub some of the classes. - "Have the deepest commitment" Deepen your Practice - Yoga Immersion - "You must unlearn what you have learned" Trevor Yelich and I will be co-facilitating a 4-day, 32-hour Yoga Immersion intended to deepen your practice of yoga. This incredible 32 hour workshop extensively covers yoga asana (physical poses) technique as it looks into the internal and external alignments necessary to support a beautiful, safe, and transforming practice. Each student’s learning is then deepened through studying the various physical and energetic actions that are required to draw the practitioner into these life-enhancing alignments. Yogic philosophy is woven into the fabric of the teachings throughout the workshop. In addition to the asana and philosophy, students will be introduced to pranayama (breathing) practices, bandhas (energy locks), meditation, mantra, and an overview of the history of yoga. Date: June 21 to 24, 2012 Time: 8:00am to 6:00pm, daily Cost: $360 + HST Location: Victoria School of Yoga, 532 Herald Street, For more information visit: http://www.jonathanboydyoga.com/immersion.html The capacity of the studio is small, so registration will be limited to the first 15 students.
