Master Pranayama Workshop with Tom Gillette
“The Anatomy and Physiology of Breath”
10:15am-12:15pm
$25 (by 12/10) REGISTER HERE.
$30 (12/11-13)
$35 day of workshop (12/14)
For absolute beginners, yoga teachers and everyone in between…
You will learn a delightful, modern breath practice, developed by Tom Gillette and based on the lineage of Swamee Kripalu. This 25-minute daily practice is the optimal way to start your day feeling clear, bright and awake!
Each session begins with an experiential immersion of deep listening to the body and breath. Your ribcage will naturally relax and become more open to receive breath. We move into the active phase of practice, in order to mobilize the breath, and gently increase lung volume over time. Through a series of soft, supported yoga postures and breath techniques, we will touchdown into still moments of insight, peace and ecstasy. What follows is a 30-minute PowerPoint presentation focusing on the scientific research behind breath practices. It helps to cognitively understand the physiological basis of why pranayama works. We end each workshop with a series of “Breath Experiments,” testing out the theory and putting it into practice.

“SoulCollage® cards give voice to whatever it is within us that is aching to be heard.”- Claire Perkins, SoulCollage® Facilitator
During this series of workshops, you will go on a personal soul-tending journey using your imagination/intuition and the simple SoulCollage® process. (Yes, you! You do not need any collage or artistic experience to do SoulCollage®. This process works for everyone.)
You’ll learn how to make and consult your cards using questions designed to uncover the answers you already have inside yourself – the things you know intuitively and deeply, but don’t always rise to the surface to be heard, experienced and honored.
We’ll explore and make cards in each of the 4 SoulCollage® Suits:
• Committee Suit: Our personality parts – the inner voices we hear day in and day out…the Inner Critic, Cheerleader, Observer, etc. “
• Community Suit: Our family, friends, teachers, healers, pets and places that have touched our lives. “The Community Suit is important because it brings in the aspect of connection.” – Seena B. Frost, LMFT and Founder of SoulCollage®
• Council Suit: The archetypal energies in our lives. “…invisible guides, challengers, creators and destroyers, known across time and cultures…” – Seena B. Frost
• Companions Suit: Our animal guides… “the mirrors for the energies of your physical and subtle bodies…” -Seena B. Frost
By the end of the series you will have created a beautiful deck of personally collaged cards (Don’t worry – a “deck” of SoulCollage® cards can be 4 cards or 24 cards or 104 cards…it’s up to you) full of powerful wisdom.
You can learn more about SoulCollage® at www.soulunfoldingri.com

Knotted Mala Workshop
Sunday 12:30-2:30
with Parvati
Mala beads have been used to practice mantra meditations for thousands of years. Each time you use your mala for meditation it becomes infused with the energy of that mantra. When you wear them you are reminded of the calm, centered feeling cultivated during your meditation practice.
During this workshop we will learn about mala beads and mantra meditations while we hand-knot our own mala beads. We will also be introduced to some well-known and powerful mantras. Workshop will conclude with a group meditation to practice using our new knotted malas. Sample knotted malas will be on display at the studio.
$35 REGISTER HERE.
$30 members & staff REGISTER HERE.
Price includes materials for 2 knotted malas and handout. Workshop suitable for those aged 10 to 100; no previous yoga or meditation experience required. All participants are invited to stay for the Community Drum Circle at 3pm (no music experience necessary).
