11 May 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



18 May 2008 – Iyengar Yoga Teacher – Garrell Herndon

My teaching is inspired by my training with Iyengar style teachers, and my studies of Structural Integration. Teaching was never a goal, just a part of the learning process.

Took my first yoga class in 1988. Joined the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco Advanced Studies/ Teacher Training program in 1991. Been to Pune to study with the Iyengars directly.
Over the years I’ve studied with many Great SF yoga teachers. Kathy Alef, Patricia Sullivan, and Janet MacLeod.. I also studied with Tony Briggs, Arthur Kilmurray, Manouso Manos, and Ramanand Patel. Mostly, I apprenticed and studied with Ramanand. Patel . The summer of 2007 I was fortunate enough to assist the instructor at the Guild for Structural Integration.

In the yoga class the use of props, and physical adjustments,, help students find their greatest potential in the poses. The classes are all around solid and the refined instructions are felt to the bone. You can read more about all this at http://yogabodywork.net//



25 May 2008 – Iyengar Yoga Teacher – Melissa MacDonald


The first yoga class I went to gave me immediate relief from my lower back pain and I knew without doubt I had stumbled upon a precious gift: I was committed. After ten years of practice, including participation in a two-year Iyengar teacher training program, I now teach yoga. My precise and thoughtful instruction of the yoga poses guides students into a deeper awareness of themselves enabling them to tap into yoga’s gifts of health and transformation.
