massage to another. Bring playfulness and curiosity as we delve into
the rich world of touch. We will be working on the floor, so please
bring three blankets and two towels per couple. Bring a water bottle,
and wear clothes that leave room for skin contact (e.g. shorts and a

into this beautiful space.

$10 adult, children free
Kirtan is a Sanskrit word meaning "repeat," and referring to joyous call-and-response singing with instrumental accompaniment. To listen, click here.
"When we repeat mantras and prayers [through song] we call the things we most
want to us. By combining the vibrations of music, love, appreciation
and connection, the energy rises and settles sweetly into the core of
our beings. Leraine has quickly become a master of this chanting style
and leads each group fluently along the sound currents which connect us
to the divine spirit that lives and flows in all things."

The Less that is
More  Saturday Jan. 23, 2-5pm
Moshe
Feldenkrais often made reference to the Weber-Fechner law which
basically says that there is a direct relationship between our ability to sense
and the amount of stimulation we receive. If you are carrying a 40 pound back
pack and someone places their hand on your shoulder, you may not even feel it.
If, however, someone places a penny in your empty palm, you can feel the weight
and texture clearly.
We live in a world with such an onslaught of sensory stimulation that our
senses become numb to the nuances of our experience (just try to stay with the
quality of your breath or your contact with the ground as you sit through movie
previews or walk through a Best Buy store). Even when we engage our bodies, we
often need to to be deep in the intensity of a stretch or miles into the run
before we really feel that we are doing something.
In Feldenkrais lessons we create a
context where we can put down the metaphorical 40 pound backpack, and thereby
lower the noise in the nervous system so we can actually begin to discover the
richness and nuance of information that is present in how we do what we
do.
In these lessons we will discover the sensitivity and receptivity that
allows learning, choice and spontaneity in how we move in the world. To

Peter is Back! Renowned Yoga teacher Peter Francyk returns to Salt Lake for this essential 2-day workshop. Whether you are a newcomer to Yoga who senses that there is more to the practice, or a long-time practitioner looking to deepen your connection in 2010, this workshop is for you.
According to Ayurveda, everyt hing in the universe is made up of a combination of the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. The human being also has 'soul' or 'spirit.' Understanding the ways in which these elements flow through and around us can deeply enhance both our personal Yoga practice and our class experience.
"The Elements of Practice" takes the Ayurvedic elements as the starting point for an exploration of the practice of Yoga on a deeply integrated level. Saturday February 6 & Sunday February 7,
1-5 pm $100 for both days in advance,
or $60 per session day-of Call the studio 801-410-4639 to reserve your space
