Thursday Special Events 2:00pm - 4:00pm - Realigning the Self: A Class for Service Members and their Families taught by Laura Tyree - Open to all including beginners. Appropriate for children 14 and older.
 Bring ease to the neural body through synchronized movement and breath, and attention to the union of opposites. In this gentle class, we'll release deeply held stressors that impact the body and mental systems, bringing balance through flowing asana sequences. We'll learn specific breathing methods that can be used in the day-to-day environments of home and work. The biomechanic movements of the body are described in simple, approachable terms in order for each individual to create their own daily, personal yoga practice.
Free and open to all service members and their families on a first come, first served basis.

Restorative yoga moves us into a state of being, away from the normal activity of the body and the mind. Using props and long holds, it channels the energies through specific pathways and creates a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. During this OM Yoga Restorative Teacher Training, we'll practice a full sequence of restorative poses. Then we'll look at several key restorative asanas and work with partners to teach these poses to each other. This workshop also includes discussion about how to build your own sequences and how to offer these poses in studios without many props. Come gain confidence in teaching restorative yoga classes and incorporating them into your regular active yoga classes.
What to bring: A bolster, three blankets, one or two cushions, two blocks, and a yoga strap. Cameras are welcome, but no audio or video recording, please.
Discussion and asana.

The sequence includes gliding, rocking, and stretching movements.

Neck, Shoulders, and Upper Back in Purna Yoga
Aadil Palkhivala
- Course ID: ATPALK
Thursday, November 11 — 9:00am - 4:30pm
Thursday All-Day Intensives
Therapeutic, Mixed Levels
Most of us carry tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. When we hold tension here, we shrink blood vessels and thereby create pain and stiffness in this area, which can lead to headaches and fatigue. This tension in our upper spine reduces our ability to think clearly, communicate, and express what we need to say. Learn simple techniques for releasing tension in these key areas, and promote a stronger and clearer mind-body connection.
Tantra Vidya, Kundalini, and the Subtle Body

Thursday All-Day Intensives
Mixed Levels
Tantra is the most comprehensive and holistic approach to yoga. Like the thread of a necklace, Tantra links all the gems of the diverse practices of yoga (including asana, pranayama, visualization, bandha, energy work, subtle anatomy, meditation, and alchemy) into a single, exalted approach. The aim of Tantra Yoga is to merge the material and the spiritual, to realize our potential in both, and to enable us to embody limitless power, freedom, and prosperity. Through theory and practice we'll explore Tantra's approach to Yoga and the practical methods that allow us to embody the boundless force of Spirit.
Discussion and asana practice.
