  Yoga for Anxiety, Anger & Depression with Gail Braverman
  1-3pm April 28, May 5, 11 and 19
  
  LifeForce Yoga (R) is intentionally designed to work with and manage the mood. Through specific breath practices, accessible postures and meditative experiences, this series will offer a compassionate approach to the suffering caused by depression and anxiety. LifeForce Yoga (R) is not so much about 'doing' but rather 'undoing' all the places in your body where tension and sadness are stored. This style of yoga was created by Amy Weintraub, ERYT-500, author of 'Yoga for Depression."
  
  Yogini and Marriage & Family Therapist, Gail Braverman will present this important workshop series, which is hosted by A Gentle Way Yoga & Joyful Movement Center.
  
  Price for the series is: $125. Please call the studio 619-698-1170 to make your reservations and complete an assessment form, and receive your 10% YES membership discount. Please contact Gail at 619-282-4730 for a one-on-one interview before the workshop begins.

  Yoga Focus is a continuous workshop series held at Dana Rae Pare's private yoga studio Viva Vibrante. Each Yoga Focus is a 6-week program on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm with a new Focus beginning every 8 weeks.

  Classes are limited to 7 students. This ensures that each student experiences individual attention from Dana and gains maximum results in moving forward in their yoga practice.  

  Wednesdays May 1st - June 5th 6:00-7:30pm 
  
  

  Finding the Fulcrum with Dana Rae Paré
  Finding the Fulcrum explores the balance of strength, flexibility and centering to effortlessly practice postures like Bakasana (crane/crow), Parsva Bakasana, Eka Pada Koundinyasana (name of a Sage, often called scissors), along with lifting up and jumping through. 
  
  Even if you already know these postures, you'll develop strength and awareness in the right areas to alleviate shoulder and neck issues often caused with imbalances in the body or misunderstanding of the fulcrum point. As with all Yoga Focus Series, the arm balance "focus" will be broken down step by step within a complete 90 min yoga practice.
  
  The 8-week progressive program will bring a deeper understanding of the pose as well as building upper body and core strength AND self-confidence in mastering these challenging postures. Find your Fulcrum - and learn to linger longer than one breath!

  
  Must be at least "All Levels" level on the IY class schedule. 
  Please sign up soon as these workshops sell out quickly

  After 6 weeks of 90 minute classes, you’ll be more open and flexible than you can imagine.  Backbends are the most important direction of movement for unfolding us from our perpetual forward bend (sitting in the car, at the office, in front of the TV).  As we age our bodies become stuck in this habitual forward bend, causing discomfort and injuries in the process.  Svaroopa® Yoga uses a very gentle approach to backbends providing a safe and effective opening of the spine in the opposite direction.  Open up a Whole NEW Way!

  After 5 weeks of 90 minute classes, you’re  neck and shoulders will be feeling better than ever!  Most of us easily recognize pain and tension in our neck and shoulders.  What we may not recognize is that this tension is rooted in the lower spine.  By simply releasing the base of the spine we can release the rest of the spine, creating sustained relief of pain and tension in the neck and shoulders and throughout the whole body.

  Biography
  
  Bryan Kest has been practicing yoga since 1979 and has been teaching since 1985. He developed his unique, distinctive style of yoga, Original Power Yoga, in 1979. Over the years, this style, an amazing workout for the body, mind and spirit, has made him a well-known, popular teacher across the country and around the world.
  
  
  
  His mainstream popularity is matched by an authentic foundation in the ancient practice of yoga and a long path of development as a yogi (a practitioner of yoga). At age 15, Bryan uprooted from his native Detroit home to make a life change in Hawaii. He moved to live with his father, a doctor, who understood the benefits of yoga. Like many of us, Bryan originally thought yoga was nothing more than strange contortions, but that changed when his father introduced him to a physical style of yoga called Ashtanga. This appealed to him immediately, and he soon observed great changes
  in himself, both physically and mentally. Yoga quickly became his passion, one that would take him to India for a year to study with the great yoga masters of the world, Pattabhi Jois. He has been continuing on his yoga path ever since.
  
  
  
  Bryan founded and teaches at two studios in Santa Monica, CA. He also teaches at workshops and retreats around the world; provides an intensive teachers training program; and is featured in his own Warner Brothers video series from 1995, as
  well as a newer video series and audio CD series. His most recent endeavor is www.PowerYogaonDemand.com. This on-line tool features streaming video of Bryan’s classes in Santa Monica, which are recorded live and streamed to students around the world. For articles by Bryan and more information about

  As Yogi’s in this modern era, we are blessed to be surrounded by knowledgeable and inspiring teachers of all kinds. Yet, there is infinite knowledge within each and every one of us. Cultivating a personal practice, or Sadhana, allows you to reach deeper and go higher in all aspects of your life.

  About Dana Flynn:
  Recognized throughout the yoga community as a true “teacher’s teacher,” Dana Flynn brings an ecstatic expression of movement, music and community to her practice and her students, as the co-founder of Laughing Lotus Yoga Centers and Lotus Flow Yoga. The former stockbroker, restaurateur and MTV personality turned a life in the limelight into a spiritual transformation, studying with legendary yogis: Jivamukti’s Sharon Gannon in New York and master teacher Rodney Yee in California. Fiercely innovative and independent, Dana honors and knows well the ancient traditions and codified asana systems of the yogic practice. During her many years of study, she “wanted to explore what it meant to move like herself. That was my greatest longing.” Dana and Co-Founder Jasmine Tarkeshi channeled over 6 years of organic movement experimentation into the creation of the Laughing Lotus Yoga Center and Lotus Flow Yoga. Lotus Flow Yoga, is infused with a dynami c Dervish-like energy of dance, song and joyous revelry. “It is fresh, inspired and alive.” 
 With studios located in Manhattan’s Flatiron District and in San Francisco’s Mission District, Laughing Lotus is now home to more than just a studio; it’s a diverse community of creative, spirited, and playful yogis; a school for teachers and where you’ll find Dana Flynn, the “Janis Joplin of Yoga.” Dana has appeared in The New York Times, Yoga Journal and on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show.
