Living Joyfully: Peter's in the house
|
| Hi Everyone,
It is a deep honor to announce that Peter Francyk is coming to Avenues Yoga this month as a guest teacher, and the leader of a special workshop "Attention Intention  and Action" July 24 & 25 (details below). Many of you know Peter personally or by reputation as the founder of the legendary Soma studio, and an amazing teacher and student of all aspects of Yoga. Peter has been a student of movement and meditation
including dance, Yoga, vipassana and many others for over 20 years. His unique teaching style is a
fusion of classical eastern yogic and meditation principles and western
anatomy and kinesiology, as well as his own personal experience with
injury and understanding misalignments of the body. To read more about him, click here. Peter will be guest teaching "Pranayama and Meditation" on Wednesday nights, 7:15-8:30 pm (Deep Relaxation will return in the Fall). Peter now spends much of his time in India, with only occasional visits to Salt Lake, so don't miss these great opportunities to practice with him throughout July. ~ Namaste, Erin |

Attention, Intention, and Action
|
| How do we build a Yoga practice that is both spontaneous and relaxing? A
practice that serves the deepest part of ourselves while reflecting the
immediacy of our present situation? Join Peter Francyk to explore the
intricate dance of breath, mind, and body, and learn to move from a
deeper place in your practice. There is no attention without breath, no
intention without engagement of mind; spontaneous right action flows
from the harnessing of the two. This two day workshop will focus on the
subtle aspects of finding a flow, combining pranayama, asana, and deep
mindfulness. Don't miss it!Saturday July 24, 1-5 pm

Sustainable Core Strength

Sustainable Core Strength: A Feldenkrais Workshop with Erin & Carl Rabke
Saturday July 17, 2-5pm
Abdominal crunches and sit-ups are an
often overused and potentially unsafe form of core exercise, not to
mention boring! People think doing hundreds of these will get them a
flat stomach. In fact, it has been shown that this type of exercise is
not as efficient as other means to work the famous abdominals, or as Yvan Joly says "the abominables."
In
this workshop we will:
- Dispel common myths about six-pack abs
and a strong core
- Learn how to cultivate non-rigid
strength in our center
- Enhance free abdominal breathing
- Develop support for back, hips and
pelvis
- Discover that a held core
is not an optimally strong core, and learn how relaxed flexibility can
improve function
