=====Saturday January 12=====

New York Center for Kripalu Yoga & Health presents: Stoking the Fire: The Transcendental Power of Prana With popular senior Kripalu teacher Dean Hudson

Explore the body’s powerful and subtle energy beyond the brief pranayama excercises in most yoga classes. Spiritual practitioners have long recognized the interdependence between the mind and prana, the vital life force of the body. The ancient yogis exploited this relationship by working directly with prana to cultivate deep meditative states. In this workshop, we will explore this relationship by stoking the pranic fire in the body through an intense synthesis of asana, pranayama, kumbhaka (breath retention) and the bandhas (locks). Learn how this integrated practice can facilitate energetic attunement, raise the store of energy in the body, and lead to transcendent states. Please eat very lightly before class. Dean Hudson, L.I.C.S.W., Director of Pathways to Wholeness, is a psychotherapist and professional-level Kripalu Yoga teacher and mentor. He is on the 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training staffs at both Kripalu Center and Pranakriya Yoga in North Augusta, SC headed by Yoganand Michael Carroll. He brings a deeply meditative and spiritual style of teaching to all his work and leads programs nationwide. He is the creator of the CDs Meditation and the Transformation of Consciousness and TheHealing Power of Relaxation. Make check payable to NY Kripalu Yoga for $60.

Jivamukti Yoga Workshops
If you are looking to recharge after the holidays in a more gentile way, Certified Jivamukti instructor Shanna Lee has developed the Restorative Yoga and Mudras Workshops – allowing those battling ailments or those simply seeking a gentler practice to reap the benefits of yoga. Those workshops will take place at Jivamukti Yoga School on Sunday, January 13th and 27th. Peaceful, yet powerfully therapeutic, the Sunday January 13th and 27th Restorative Yoga Workshops center the mind and body to facilitate the healing of dis-ease caused by stress or injury. Shanna Lee guides each practitioner through a series of supported asanas, with special emphasis on breathwork. Each pose, some held for up to 15 minutes, supports proper bone alignment while releasing muscular tension. Personalized adjustments by Shanna also help participants achieve maximum benefits. Throughout this rejuvenating session, the ancient practice of Mudras – hand gestures which help channel energy into the subtle states of our minds – are also explored. Unique to the January 13th workshop is the addition of chakra cleansing, a powerful method to renew body, mind and spirit before the start of the New Year.
