Teaching Meditation for Yoga Teachers with Yoganand Michael Carroll

Dates: Friday, April 30- Tuesday, May 4, 2010

In ancient times yoga schools had a rich meditation practice that has been lost in many modern traditions. Some yoga schools today turn to Buddhism for meditation if they teach it at all. This program will explore the many stages and techniques of yoga meditation. We will start with the most ancient forms from which Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain meditation have sprung. After learning these techniques we will explore how they can be incorporated into a modern practice and taught to our students. This program is for yoga teachers only.

Time: 11:30am-1:30pm

This workshop will begin at the center of the room, and eventually move to the wall to create a strong energetic support for postures traditionally practiced without the wall. Wall yoga works effectively to improve alignment, flexibility and strength.

While pregnancy is often filled with excitement and happiness, it can also bring physical discomforts and uncertainty about the upcoming labor and delivery.

Natural, medicated, and C-section deliveries will be discussed.

This class combines vigorous, dynamic Pranakriya flow sequences with the power of Kundalini yoga for a complete mind-body experience.
