Welcome the New Year with Yoga Soul Dance!
  

Winter can be rough. Shoulders hiked up to your ears to combat the ferocious cold, that sad 4 o'clock sunset, and a sense of lethargy that sinks into your bones. Thank goodness for the spirit of giving and the prospect of a new year! Let yourself indulge in some self-healing, self-transforming this holiday season. Take some time away from the shopping frenzy and the hectic workplace. Warm up with classes and workshops that allow you to be you. Foster your own inner light to share with those you love.


Much Love and Happy Holidays!!!

Namaste,

Laura and The Yoga Fusion Studio

Welcome the New Year with Yoga Soul Dance!
Yoga Soul Dance   

Yoga Soul Dance is a FUSION of the two great rivers of healing, yoga, and dance. This sacred form of dance dates back to humankind's earliest expression of gratitude to the earth, sky, and the Great Spirit. In remembrance, we tap into our most authentic core and our relationship to the larger fabric of life. This spontaneous dance heals separation from our truest selves, returning us to wholeness, integrity and vitality. Through honoring the entire myriad of human emotions from anger and sadness to joy and bliss, release into a state of inner freedom is possible, in which the small self merges into the ocean of the bigger self, freedom, expanded awareness are the result. 

 

We begin in the primordial waters of the deepest self and connect with the soul realm through  guided meditation and shamanic breath, spiral into a personal spontaneous asana expression and culminate in ecstatic free soul dancing, to wind down into a deep fulfilling rest.

Pralaya Yoga Workshop Series
You've Never Experienced Anything Quite Like This

 -Part I, Saturday, 1/22/2011, 1:00pm-3:30pm

$40 in advance and $45 at the door

- Full Series (Part I and Part II) : $75 in advance $85 at the door


Take advantage of this rare opportunity to work with master yoga teacher and Kripalu featured presenter Robert Boustany, creator of
"Pralaya" Yoga, a challenging system that gives precise and gentle keys for the subtleties of  alignment. It promotes spinal and other energetic openings to quickly build strength and greater functional flexibility by introducing advanced concepts and procedures for joint opening. The results are exceptional strength and flexibility!

Part I will explore the new concepts in deepening spinal twists, forward bending flexibility, and in an all new approach to arm work and inversions.

Part II will explore hips, backbends and inverted work more deeply and expand some of the practices of Part I.


                     Reserve Early - Limited Space - Workshop will sell out quickly!
