February (and Beyond) 2013 Review the following offerings from our members and be sure to visit their studio websites for more information!
February 3-6 Art of Meditation Course
During the 4 day course you will be initiated into a natural and graceful system of meditation that enables an effortless transcendence into the deeper levels of the self. You will get a short regular daily practice which has a deep and lasting impact on your life.Through this daily practice, the nervous system is cultivated so that inner peace and expansion increasingly remain active throughout your day. At the Art of Living Center in Denver February 3 A journey of relaxation, aromatherapy, healing sound and breath work
Relax and enjoy the sacred sounds as you receive the aromatherapy blend for each energetic center of the body to bring you into a deep state of relaxation and peace. After the Journey, a session of Tibetan Life Force yoga breath techniques will be offered, helping the participant to integrate with the elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space. At Yoga for the Peaceful in Crested Butte February 8 Friday Night Yoga Club with Tina Porter, Mike Konrad, Dakini Ma, and Girish at the Tempe Event Center. February 9 Prana Flow Mantrāsana: Embodied Sanskrit with Ina Sahaja
Sanskrit, as well as The Eight Limbs of Yoga as taught by Patañjali's Yoga Sutra, will be presented within the container of a PRANA FLOW class, and we will explore and integrate the vibrational, somatic experience of sound, words and body with embodied practice. At Yoga for the Peaceful in Crested Butte February 9 Darśana with Christopher Tompkins. Samskāras: Identifying the Unconscious Mental Habits that Trigger Cycles of Suffering
We will learn how to identify and eliminate the source of all self-created suffering--the subconscious impressions which unconsciously perpetuate the anxious mind cycle (chitta-vritti), that obscures the Self within and causes us to unconsciously grasp for happiness in the materialistic world of impermanence. Workshop will include some movement, darśana, mantra and meditation with tamboura. At Yoga for the Peaceful in Crested Butte February 9 Turn Your World Upside Down - Jivamukti Yoga with Jaimie Epstein Inversions are the most powerful of the asanas, having a profound affect on you physically by reversing the aging process (true, that!), mentally by stimulating your intuition and clarity of thinking, and spiritually by expanding your consciousness. All levels welcome. At Mountain Moon Yoga Winter Park
February 9 The Love Workshopwith David LazaroffThe Bhakti Sutras says, "the nature of love cannot be defined." Join us in this workshop as we dive in to better understand our experiences of love and how we acknowledge it - right in time for Valentine's Day!

In this Darshana with Christopher Tompkins, we will learn how the eight component practices of Yoga, when engaged together, dissolve the delimiting power of samskāras, and awaken us to the experience of the Self --the pure, content, already-awakened Awareness which vibrates as the perfect heart of all beings underneath the fluctuations of the anxious mind (chitta-vritti). At Yoga for the Peaceful in Crested Butte

From the 2013 YTOC Quotes Book ...
Above all, you must learn to be sensitive to your body as the home of your inner teacher and allow your intuition to guide you. Yoga is a journey that can take you back home if you don't get sidetracked by the scenery along the way. ~~Mukunda Stiles
