Are you frustrated because you can't advance your inversion practice? Is kicking up to the wall a challenge for you? Are you ready to hone in and focus on what you need to do next?
 
Get upside down with Cheryl on Saturday, April 6th from 1-3:30 pm.  $40

She'll help you access the core strength and proper alignment you need to do poses like Down Dog with feet on the wall, handstands, headstands, Pincha Mayurasana, and shoulderstands. The long format of this workshop will help you gain a better understanding of inversions that you can't always get in a 90 minute yoga class. You'll get individual attention and recommendations on what to work on to get (and stay) upside down with greater ease.

Class size is limited to 16 students so that we have enough wall space for everyone, so advance registration is recommended.

This workshop is designed for students with at least 6 months of yoga experience. Not recommended for anyone with a shoulder or neck injury.

Ashaya® Yoga is a heart-centered, alignment-based method of Hatha Yoga. It is a path of radical affirmation, learning to say yes to life, and abiding in the truth that everything in life is for your awakening. It supports the harmony and interconnection of mind, body, heart and spirit, both on and off the yoga mat.
 
The physical alignment of Ashaya yoga is based in human anatomy and biomechanics, and the heart alignment is based in psychology and Tantra yoga philosophy. This synergy of the body and heart is the recipe for awakening to your true nature!

In this workshop, you will learn the 4 Essentials of Ashaya Yoga, how to Open, Engage, Align and Expand your mind, body, and heart. We'll break down each step of the 4 Essentials so participants will gain a strong foundation in the Ashaya method by practicing yoga postures in a slow, systematic way.  This workshop is suitable for new students as well as more experienced yogis who want to refine alignment. It's for anyone who wants to open your heart to greater awakening. It's a great workshop to attend if you're considering joining the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training this summer!

This class is for those seeking extraordinary transformation, so that they may experience a bright, clear, constant awareness of their connection with the Higher Dimensions and live a much more empowered life.
 
• This workshop will illuminate the relationship between the higher dimensions of consciousness termed SOURCE, SPIRIT, Soul or Higher Self and your experience as the individuated Personality. This session will provide you with a deeper understanding of your spiritual, energetic nature that will enable you to take your spiritual practice to a much higher level.

• We will explore your full Energy Field from Source, your Higher Chakras, and the the chakras that make up your personality and the potential for fuller activation and evolution for all of these chakras. You will more clearly understand how your energy field transforms as you consciously evolve from Homo Sapiens into Homo Spiritus.

• We will offer highly effective practices for more fully connecting with and activating your Central Channel and the major chakras above the Crown Chakra, thereby swiftly accelerating your spiritual transformation and empowerment. We will also address how to stay balanced and grounded while swift transformation is taking place.

• You will receive personal healing and transforming energy transmissions to accelerate your energetic development.
