Heart-Core Yoga Workshop
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Is it possible that your hard body, so rigorously constructed, is really a means of building armor, to protect yourself?

This vigorous class will not only focus on core strength and healthy physical alignment, but will also invoke the question of our "life alignment." An aligned body is healthy - an aligned heart and mind is even healthier. This unique practice is designed to awaken the strength of the body and the healing power of the heart. Class will include vinyasa-flow, non-dogmatic philosophy, breathing, and meditation.

The Healing Power of Forgiveness Workshop
3:30 PM - 5:30 PM

Forgiveness is perhaps the most powerful tool we have for healing ourselves. To forgive another, heals oneself, just as anger toward another poisons oneself. Anger and resentment destroy our lives. For the body to heal, often times what is most vital is to heal the broken heart or spirit. Failure to forgive affects our stress level, power to heal the body, discernment, and all our relationships. The first part of this seminar is a powerful lecture on forgiving others, the second part will address forgiving oneself, and the third part include gentle yoga movement, breathing exercises, and guided meditation with emphasis on emotional transformation. Appropriate for all levels.

"What is the body, that shadow of a shadow of your love, that somehow contains the entire universe." - Rumi

Matt Pesendian has been practicing and studying the art of Hatha Yoga for 20 years, dedicating his studies to the teachings of Sri T. Krishnamacharya and Zhander Remete, the founder of Shadow Yoga. He received his master's degree and licensure in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is the co-owner of Village Community Acupuncture in Sherman Oaks, Ca. He also developed a Medical Qigong program at the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara and teaches yoga/qigong workshops and retreats.

Shadow Yoga, founded by Zhander Remete, is a Hatha Yoga system designed to integrate the common principles of yoga asana, martial arts, South Indian dance and Ayurvedic medicine. The starting point consists of 3 standing prelude forms, all devised to prepare the body for asana-vinyasa. The full practice format consists of prelude forms, asanas, inversions, bandhas, kriyas, mudras and pranayama. This class will focus on the basic yogic principles, focal points, postures and techniques which stand at the heart of this unique Hatha Yoga practice.
