Come mingle and enjoy some refreshments with fellow yogis and friends while checking out Michael's beautiful pendants, beaded necklaces, earrings, and pendulums. Some of the pieces you'll find include turquoise, lapis, amber, charoite, amethyst, rainbow fluorite, and labradorite. As well you'll be tantalized by Michael's one-of-a-kind fused glass pieces crafted into pendants and earrings. Included in his collection are the captivating two-hundred-million-year-old fossils called amonites and a wide range of very impressive crystals from his latest mining trip to the quartz mines of Arkansas. Michael is known for making deals on pieces that usually sell for higher rates at his regular markets. Check out Michael's website www.gemsnsage.com for more information on his work and offerings or e-mail Michael at michael@gemsnsage.com
Coming up...
"Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger. Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world." Ann Landers
We wish you all the best for 2012 and look forward to spending more days on the mat with you!
With love and gratitude, Your friends at Fusion
 
P.S. We've LOVED having both Setareh and Biffy with us and have appreciated them sharing their love of the practice with you. Unfortunately nothing lasts forever though. Setareh is going to be traveling extensively in India and upon her return she will be going back to school in the Bay Area. We hope to see her back now and again though. Biffy has accepted more teaching opportunities at another local studio. We wish them both the best!

with Carrie Meyer
Friday, February 3 (6:00-9:00 pm)
----- AND -----
Saturday, February 4 (12:30-5:30 pm)
This two-part workshop on the chakra system offers a rich compilation of information distilled from a wide range of sources historically rooted in the ancient traditions of Yoga and Tantra. Each of the seven main energy centers will be examined in detail with reference to energetic anatomy and corresponding physical, psychological, and transpersonal attributes. Our exploration of the chakra system will extend to subtle-body theory and will be augmented by yoga postures, breathwork, and meditation, all of which help to support or restore the healthy function of the chakras and the subtle-to-physical-body network.

Yin Yoga with Special Guest
Instructor Joe Barnett | |
A Rejuvenating & Mindful 3 Hour Yoga Session
 Friday, April 20 6:00 - 9:00 pm
Yin Yoga safely challenges us to open into both body and mind. Yin poses generally target the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine and are held for a short sustained period of time. The stillness takes practitioners deep into the postures, beyond the just the muscles and into the fabric of the body (connective tissue). Yin restores the flow of vital energy that runs through these tissues, while strengthening the joints and spine as well as calming and quieting the mind. Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga. Appropriate for students of all levels.

Teaching A Practice of Surrender
with Special Guest Instructor Joe Barnett | |
Saturday, April 21 11:00 am - 5:00 pm (break from 2:00-300 pm)
-------- AND --------
Sunday, April 22 11:00 am - 5:00 pm (break from 2:00-300 pm)
 In this unique 10-hour training course, Joe will help us to analyze, observe, and practice all of the elements of Yin Yoga in depth. With his guidance, we'll examine ourselves on a personal level with ancient meditation techniques that guide us into a steady awareness of the changing sensations in the postures. We'll study with slides of real bones and by articulating the joints on a plastic skeleton. But mostly we'll have an interactive, hands-on study and examine each other with anatomical range of motion (ROM) tests. The study culminates in a truer understanding of the infinite variety of human bodies (from the bones up), an understanding of why every posture should be modified to the individual, and the basic techniques to help guide each Yin Yoga student with their unique skeletal structures into the appropriate asana for them.

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... honoring the first tenant of yoga, which is "ahimsa," (cause no-harm to oneself or others).
