YOGA with SRIVATSA RAMASWAMI
Saturday, March 21st, 10 am-4:30pm
Sunday, March 22nd, 10am-4:30pm
Join The Yoga Shala community for this opportunity to study with yoga master, Srivatsa Ramaswami. This workshop weekend offers a rare glimpse into the direct teaching lineage of T Krishnamacharya.
Saturday Workshop 10:00am to 4:30pm
The Yoga Sutra – Raja Yoga Study
It is incumbent on all committed Yogis to take a serious and in depth look at the Sutras. In this course the sutras will be taught with the sutra meaning, and participants will be taught the correct methodology of chanting the Yoga Sutras.
Sunday Workshop 10:00am to 4:30pm
Pranayama, Mantra and Meditation
One of the key limbs of yoga, pranayama is often overlooked in yoga classes in the West. Asana reduces rajas (activity) and pranayama reduces tamas (lethargy). Practicing asana then pranayama prepares the mind for meditation which leads to sattva(clarity). This workshop will teach the yoga practitioner various pranayama techniques. Mantra repetition as a means of developing the mind towards meditation will be discussed and taught.
ALL PRACTICE TRADITIONS AND LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE ARE WELCOME.
Srivatsa Ramaswami was the longest standing student of the legendary T Krishnamacharya outside the Master’s immediate family. He has written four books, and recorded about 40 audio cassettes and cds in India of various Sanskrit chants. He has been teaching for more than 25 years in India, the US and around the world.
Full Workshop Fee is $160 (1 day, if available, is $90)

ASHTANGA YOGA WORKSHOP SERIES for Teachers and Practitioners
The Primary Series: Hands-On Adjustment Clinic
with Valerie Schneiderman
 The art of giving and receiving hands-on adjustments is at the core of Ashtanga Yoga’s healing potential. Quieting the mind through dedicated and consistent practice, the practitioner places themselves under the guidance of the teacher. Through mindful observation, the teacher learns to watch for, and listen to, the cues for when and how to assist the student. Together the teacher and student establish a relationship based on trust, energy and non-verbal communication.
Thursdays 11:30am – 3:00pm
TBD
Or
Saturdays 11:30am – 3:00pm
TBD
IMPORTANT…PLEASE NOTE: Information covered on Thursday and Saturday sessions will be the same for each month. In other words, students may choose to attend Thursday or Saturday each month as it suits their schedule.
SESSION 1: surya namaskara and the standing sequence.

SESSION 3: badha konasana through closing sequence

RESTORATIVE YOGA PRACTICE
with Marlene Tendler
Saturday May 2nd from 3-5 pm
Workshop fee $30....16 student limit
 Join Marlene Tendler at The Yoga Shala for a weekend workshop dedicated to Restorative Yoga practice. Restorative Yoga is relaxing, rejuvenating and nourishing for the body, mind and spirit. It helps to relieve stress and fatigue as well as enhance overall well-being. Postures are usually reclining and always supported. By supporting the body with props, we relax and our being moves toward balance. Doing Restorative Yoga cultivates the habit of attention. We can learn how and where we hold tension and through the practice of conscious breathing, we can learn to relax and let go. As the body and mind relax, the nervous system sends and receives fewer messages, allowing quietness and deep relaxation.
Marlene is a Registered Yoga Teacher and has been teaching yoga since 2000 in Northern Fairfield County. Her teaching focuses on alignment principles and body awareness, using clear detailed instruction. Marlene is equally enthusiastic and skilled in teaching Restorative Yoga, which she combines with a guided mindfulness meditation. During the past several years, she has taught Restorative Yoga privately, and in the physical therapy department of a neurology clinic. She is experience in teaching clients with migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple scleroses, Parkinson’s disease, and autoimmune disease.
