16 March 2008 – Raja Yoga Teacher – Janardhan Chodagam
Raja Yoga meditation is an open-eyed technique that can be used by anyone, anywhere. Whether you want to learn how to relax, need to be more concentrated and creative or are searching for personal enlightenment, this course can satisfy each of those needs.
Meditation enables you to create new attitudes and responses to life, giving you a clear spiritual understanding of yourself. Like any skill, meditation requires practice to achieve positive and satisfying results. By doing a little every day, it soon becomes a natural and easy habit, which generously rewards you for the little effort it involves.
We will look at:
* Re-discover enjoying and using the positive qualities already latent within you
* Understand your mind and what makes you tick
* Draw peace, strength and tranquillity from a higher source
* Practical guidance in the technique of meditation
Each session will include:
* Know-how
* Philosophy behind meditation and the skill of meditation
* Guided meditation commentaries led by the meditation teacher
* Most importantly a chance to explore what does and doesn’t work for you
23 March 2008 – Hatha Flow Yoga Teacher- Paul Tucci
In 1996, I attended my first class at World’s Gym – San Diego. The Yoga teacher asked “why are you taking this class?:” I answered, “to learn something new about my body”. Through experiencing the Iyengar style of Yoga with Tony Eason, I noticed that my sacrum & lumbar spine started to loosen. I discovered the power of the deep breath, and the mindfulness of the practice.
Les Leventhal inspired me with his insightful and challenging classes. Darren Main & Christopher Love ‘s Hawaii yoga retreat was a celebration of the deepening of my yoga practice and my life.
And after a misguided venture into Real Estate, Joy Ravelli suggested that I become a yoga instructor. That suggestion sent me to many work-shops and eventually to Seattle where i took my teacher training with Anna Forrest.
And, after 11 years, that innocent answer is still the root of what yoga still is for me . Yoga is an exploration of the muscles, the bones, the tendons, the breath, and a break from the churning mind.
Presently, I teach an Ana Forrest inspired Hatha Flow classes at Gold’s Gym (Brannan St.).
Love & peace, Paul
30 March 2008 – Yoga Teacher – Vickie Lew
In Boston, I studied hatha yoga for several years after my body cried, “help me!” For seven years, I was a student of Dahnhak and then became a full time yoga instructor with the organization. Currently, I teach this Korean form at the Bernal Heights Senior Program on Monday and Wednesday mornings.
This simple method works on stimulating our accuppressure system by tapping our bodies. We awaken our chakras with bouncing and shaking. In addition we naturally perform the traditional stretching and breathing we have come to know as yoga.
Come prepared to breathe, smile and enjoy noticiing the joy of moving your body. Suitable for any level student. Come with your open heart and mind.
