UPCOMING WORKSHOPS...

Daylong Meditation Retreat with Anam Thubten:
 
Saturday January 31st at 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 pm
Price: $65 pre-registration is required by January 24th (no one turned away for lack of funds) with late registration being $70.

The moment we realize who we are, we begin to live a life of joy and freedom.  Many of us have been holding onto a mistaken version of ourselves.  Once the false self is deconstructed, what emerges is our true nature beyond all conditions.  The path leading us there is called prajnaparamita, which means transcendent wisdom.  This is the heart of Buddha’s teaching.  Anam Thubten is going to introduce this timeless wisdom in a most direct and experiential manner.  He invites everyone to go through a powerful inner transformation during this retreat. 

Anam Thubten grew up in Tibet and received traditional Buddhist training from various teachers at an early age. He developed a special affinity towards a very inspiring Dharma teacher and hermit named Lama Tsurlo.Lama Tsurlo's kindness and wisdom gave him a firm base to advance in his dharma practice and still serves as a source of inspiration on his spiritual path as well as in his work as a teacher.In the 1990s, Anam Thubten arrived in America, and interested people began requesting dharma teachings of him. Since then, he has been traveling and teaching extensively, both in the U.S and abroad.His teachings draw mainly from the Prajnaparamita, the timeless, non-conceptual wisdom of the Buddha. 

Schedule: 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.   Lunch break 12:30 – 3:00 p.m. (with opportunity to schedule a 10 minute personal interview)   3:00 – 5:30 p.m. (with opportunity to schedule a 10 minute personal interview afterwards)

We will combine a Yang practice of asanas (postures) which will build up strength & endurance and a Yin practice which teaches us to slow down & listen to our body.   We will utilize pranayama (breath control) to distribute energy throughout our body which will help us to gain control over the mind.  We will end with Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) and meditation.

AcroYoga is a blend of Partner Yoga, Acrobatics & Thai Massage. Find connection through play. This workshop is appropriate for all levels, beginners welcome.  Some yoga experience is helpful but not necessary.  Bring your partner, your friend or come solo!

Paige Wyatt lives and breathes in Santa Cruz, CA.  She's dreaming of big things and taking small steps towards those dreams.  She spends a lot of time upside down or wondering when the next time is that she'll be upside down.  She's always dreaming of new cool ways to go upside down so if you've got a suggestion drop her a line.  She teaches Vinyasa Flow Yoga inspired by Ana Forrest and probably every other big name Yogi out there because, let's face it, we all inspire each other.  AcroYoga  and Slackline Yoga keep her laughing and constantly creating, connecting and playing.  Aerial dance keeps her forever reaching for the sky and always humble.  She is a butterfly whisperer and likes to hang out in meadows and talk to the tall green grass.

Honoring the wisdom of Yoga, the loving kindness of Thai Massage and celebrating the playfulness of acrobatics – AcroYoga is a beautiful blend of partner bodywork.  Learn to balance, trust, fly and stretch the possibilities of your body.  Come with a partner if you like - but having a partner is not necessary!
