Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether
Exploring the Elements in Practice
with
Mary Paffard
Sunday, September 19, 2010
11:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. & 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
In the last year, Mary has been using the elements as powerful ways to both connect, and to let go in practice and life. The am practice will be active, celebrating each of the 5 elements as defined by our yoga tradition. In Buddhism, there is a 6th element - Consciousness. In the afternoon, there will be a quieter, meditative practice synthesizing the elements. Through the "knowing" of them, we will cultivate a deep letting go.
Mary Paffard has been teaching in Northern California, nationally and internationally since 1985. She was a founding member of Yoga Mendocino and is currently Director of Teaching training at Yoga Mendocino, Ukiah, CA – a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing yoga to community and community to yoga. Originally trained in the Iyengar tradition, her strongest influence these days is her 25-year Vipassana practice and her commitment to unearthing the inner guru in herself and her students. For more information about Mary and her longer workshops and teacher trainings, look at maryyoga.com.

Restorative Yoga
With
Kirsten Ferries
Saturday, September 25, 2010
1:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Juggling work, family, and community obligations can often make us feel depleted both emotionally and physically. This stress reduces the joy we experience in our everyday life. Restorative yoga is a gentle way to relax, calm your mind and rejuvenate your body and spirit. We will use bolsters, blankets and other supportive props to invite the body to release tension, open and relax. No previous yoga experience is necessary; Restorative Yoga is safe and accessible to all.
Kirsten Ferries has practiced yoga for the past 10 years. She was drawn to the practice to decrease stress during graduate school. The practice of yoga continues to shape her outlook on life and helps her manage life’s challenges. She loves the way she feels after yoga class and the ability yoga gives her to be relaxed and present with her five-year-old daughter. She became a 200-hour registered yoga teacher in 2008. After a lower back injury, she began practicing at The Yoga Solution last fall. Kirsten credits Jennifer Sadugor and her team at The Yoga Solution for teaching her a safe and gentle way to practice. Kirsten continues her advanced yoga studies with Judith Hanson Lasater author of Relax and Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times. Kirsten currently teaches Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra, a form of guided meditation.
Cost: $45 if paid by September 12, 2010; $55 if paid thereafter. (Cancellations prior to September 12, 2010 will be refunded minus a $20 administrative fee; no refunds for cancellations on/after September 12, 2010 unless a replacement may be found.) Please make checks payable to: The Yoga Solution
