Yoga Teacher Training 2010
with Lori Moore, E.R.Y.T., Director
Session Starts in March!
Fusion offers a 200+ hour training program for students who want to develop skills to teach others in classical Hatha Yoga. This program is designed to deepen one's understanding and practice of yoga, and may also be taken by those who are not necessarily intending to become yoga instructors. Many students pursue teacher training not because they want to teach, but because they love yoga and want to learn more. Teacher Training is a wonderful way to deepen your practice and take it to a new level. This course will build on whatever form of yoga you have been training or practiced in.
If you've been thinking of doing this, NOW is the time to do it as Lori only offers this program ONCE a year and limits the amount of participants. To be considered and to reserve your spot, we strongly suggest that you get an application form turned in ASAP.
Click here for more info & an application form.
Advanced Teacher Training Coming Soon! If you're interested in advanced studies, please let us know by emailing FrontDesk@FusionYogaSac.com. |

Upcoming Classes with The Joyful Warrior
On-Going Classes Start Tuesday, February 2 and 4
The Joyful Warrior is independent from Fusion
Belly Bliss
Tuesdays / Thursdays
11:15 am to 12:00 pm
Class Focus: Celebrating the Skin you Live in
Class Intent: To Learn how to Love the Way you Feel in Your own Skin
Belly Dance is not a dance women need to learn, only remember. It is a dance form that comes from the natural shape and joyful movement of a woman's body for herself alone, and in celebration of the feminine spirit! Students will experience empowerment, healing, a heightened sense of self-esteem and a joyfully sculpted body that moves differently even when just walking! Depending on your goals, Belly Bliss is everything from a fun way to burn 300 calories an hour (yep, that's right - when you shimmy everything melts away!) to the beginning of a new relationship with your body.
Students should dress in clothes that would be worn for working out, or for yoga. Long skirts are also encouraged. Classes are $20 Drop-In ($75 for a five class pass). Coin Practice Skirt and Practice CD are $30. Please note that class payment is separate from Fusion.
Power NIA
Tuesdays / Thursdays
12:15 pm to 1:15 pm
Class Focus: The Body's Way
Class Intent: Connecting & Moving What You Sense
Depending on your goals, Nia is everything from a fun class experience to a philosophy, lifestyle and personal/professional study. While often practiced in a group-fitness format, Nia is a body-mind-spirit approach to health and fitness. The Nia system approaches the body through 4 realms: physical, mental, emotional and spirit meaning simply, accessing what is unique about each person. Students will be introduced to the nine movement forms of Nia: Jazz, Duncan Dance, Modern Dance, Aikido, Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, The Alexander Technique, The Work of Moshe Feldenkrais and Yoga.
Students should dress in clothes that would be worn for working out.
Plan on working up a sweat! Yoga mats are used towards the end of each class. Classes are $20 Drop in ($75 for a five class pass). Nia Home Practice CD and DVD set are $30. Please note that class payment is separate from Fusion.

Our needs can be different each time we step onto our mats. At FUSION, we believe that it's important to consider how we're showing up on any given day and decide what's best for us.
We recognize that some days our bodies crave a "work-out," making them stronger, more flexible, or to detoxify them in some way... and other times it's more appropriate and advanced to turn inward or "work-in," as it's our hearts and minds that need nurturing, restoring, expansiveness, space. As we explore our interior landscape, our practice might reveal that sometimes doing less, is often times doing more.
We offer traditional Hatha yoga classes that are geared toward developing a deeper understanding of the postures along with techniques used to "focus" our minds while we practice our yoga. These classes are labeled as " Focus" classes and provide specific alignment instructions and guidance as you learn how to stream-line and fine-tune your thoughts and concentration skills. We also offer " Flow" (or "Power Flow") classes where we transition with strength and grace from pose to pose, generating internal heat - although there are oftentimes elements of both Focus and Flow in most classes. One of the tools FUSION uses to add a physical and mental edge to the practice, is heat. Therefore, our class temperatures range from 74 to 84 degrees. (If practicing in a warmed room isn't appropriate for your particular health condition, please contact FrontDesk@FusionYogaSac.com for guidance in selecting a class that would be best suited for your needs.)
As our practice begins to mature and ripen, we learn how to take our practice off our mat and into our daily lives... that the same coping skills and tools we learn on the mat when we're in a challenging or stressful position, can likewise be applied to our interactions with others as we ultimately work to develop a better understanding of ourselves. Although one path might be considered "traditional" in nature, and the other a more contemporary approach (flow classes infused with heat), they both take us on the same journey and arrive at the same destination. Both ways of practicing can provide equal benefits, that is, to restore our body, mind, hearts, and spirit, while diving deep within.
Take a moment to pause...
Close your eyes... breathe deep and l o n g....
Be still... be quiet....
Feel your hard edges....
Feel your tender places.
How do YOU feel today....?
May the path you choose lead you home.... | |
