It's this way and it's that way.

Just be with any area of it,
This present body
As permeated with limitless space
Drenched in freedom.

Pranayama & Meditation with Peter Francyk
 Special Guest Teacher, Great Class
Class meets Wednesdays, 7:15-8:30 pm


Only one class left: Wednesday August 25.
Don't miss it!

Peter 29
Explore the connection between mind, body and breath by learning the ancient arts of pranayama and meditation. Through pranayama, we learn to use the breath to direct life energy through the body and through all layers of our being. It is the gateway to meditation, which takes us deeper into the synergy of mind, body, spirit, and universe. This relaxing and informative class will enhance your ability to tune into this connection, and add depth to your practice of all other limbs of Yoga.

Improve the Way you Run!
 
Improve the Way You Run!
Sept.18 1-6pm
  $75 preregistered, $80 drop in. (Repeat students can register at a discounted rate of $50)

For many of us the way we develop our running style is by starting to run - we just "run the way we run." Rarely is there a context where we can return to exploring our running to see if it is as economical, as powerful or as enjoyable as it could be. We might attempt to follow instructions from the experts on the "best" foot strikes or arm swings or vary the shoes we wear - but is there a way we could we find an internal compass which could reliably lead us to strong, efficient, and graceful running, directed from the inside by our own experience and awareness?  In this workshop we will do several Awareness Through Movement® lessons which can both clarify our experience of the mechanics of running as well as awaken our capacity to attend to many details of ourselves as we run.

As Moshe Feldenkrais often said, "When you know what you are doing, you can do what you want." Do you know what you are doing as you run? In your hip joints? In your ribs? With your arms? Your abs? Your toes? With your attention?

This workshop is open to those who compete in races and want to reduce wear and tear and improve time,  those who used to run but it hurt too much, those who run recreationally, and those who think that running is impossible.

The short running parts of the workshop are optional for those with injuries, or who do not run, and the learning and discoveries in the floor lessons (like most things Feldenkrais) can be applied to myriad aspects of life beyond running.

Note: We recently saw a similar workshop advertised in the Chi Running system at 3 times the cost! It's a deal.
