MEDITATION MADE EZ
with Danny Brewington

RE-TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

Have you found yourself wanting to change your habits, change your mind, or change your lifestyle and just couldn’t seem to make it happen? All the good intentions and convictions melt into disappointments. Then, with newfound inspiration, you get on the rollercoaster again, convinced that this “new” method will work, this “new” diet will work, this “new” something will fi nally transform you from the old to the New You. Again and again, it doesn’t. Ever wonder why? 

This workshop offers insights into those repeating cycles in our lives and teaches a very simple technique that will,
once and for all, transform your world. How? By re-programming your brain. Just over a couple of years ago, my life was completely different. I was headed for a brick wall and “programmed” to continue the rat race at 100 mph!

Luckily I had the insight to start over. I quit the job, sold the house, moved to a new city, and literally re-programmed a New Me. I no longer get nauseous at the sound of my cell phone ringing. I can go to work without a sense of dread. I can
read a newspaper without going into rage or despair — most of the time. I no longer wear a nightguard from grinding my teeth in my sleep. I can sleep.

It is a unique and powerful system of Yoga Therapy, which combines rhythmic massage, acupressure, asana (Yogic stretching exercises), gentle twisting, energy work and meditation. Thai Yoga Massage stimulates and balances the flow of healing energy within the body, opening the areas which are blocked bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health, happiness and wellness of being.

Ananda Kirtan is a moving, ecstatic, expansive and raw experience that dives deep into the nectar of the heart. AUM NAMAH SIVAYA / JAI MA !

Atma Shakti - The Power of the Heart
Sunday, February 12 | 11:00am - 1:30pm
There is still no greater mystery and power than the human heart. Ancient mystics experienced the Heart as the true center of our being. Modern science and medicine are understanding this profound truth more every year. The heart is over 5,000 times energetically more powerful than any other part of us and that is only the beginning. the heart is the infinite quantum, space within where all polarities dissolve and we experience our connection to source as Oneness. We live in a time of transformation, that is about waking up into consciousness, your heart is the center, this is the essence of Yogic teachings and all traditions of sacred wisdom. Saul will share powerful Yoga/Tantra practices for healing the heart on different levels of consciousness as well as deeper teachings from the upanishads and other tradtions. AUM

New Prenatal Yoga Classes: OM Grown Mama’s

Make room to bloom into motherhood and prepare for the transformation of childbirth. Within every woman is the intuitive wisdom to create, nurture, and transform. This class will offer an empowering path rooted in divine feminine creative power that rises to birth and motherhood. 

This practice will embrace a sequence of postures, breathwork, and meditation that allows a mother in bloom to create a source of strength and confidence in the natural process of birth, nurture a supple body while it grows to accommodate the life within, and transform into motherhood by connecting to the growing spirit of the baby in bloom. 

The postures will prepare and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, hips and legs for childbirth, improve circulation that is shared with the baby, exercise the spine and increase overall comfort in pregnancy. The breathwork and meditation will cultivate a deeper awareness of breath and consciousness to embrace during labor, delivery, and beyond.
