Superflow Yoga (all levels)

Flow is the essence of our being.  It involves being present to every breath that we take and to our collective universal breath.  In alignment-based flow yoga we move in a linear synchronicity, patterning our bodies to the alignment of yoga asanas.  While this moving in a linear fashion is incredible learning and discipline, allowing our bodies to gain connectivity for mind, body and spirit, we tend to focus on this disciplined, serious adult learning of movement, while ignoring our innate developmental movement patterns, the spiraling, circular forms of movement that are essential to our innate selves are also innately attuned to moving from a place of natural intelligence, in a spiraling, ecstatic form of movement that we call “Super flow.”

Drawing inspiration from Yoga, ancient martial arts, dance, surfing, ski and snowboard  maneuvers, Super Flow is an ecstatic form of movement. Set to music, it starts off slowly allowing ourselves to feel centered and open in our bodies. Gradually we build up in intensity, spiraling back in touch with the joy of movement.

Date: Sunday 31st October
Time: 12.15pm – 1.45pm

Eastern Mysticism, Yoga + Your Nervous System with Eoin Finn @ Green Tara Yoga, Uplands, CA

The “mystic experience” is the heart of so many philosophical and religious movements throughout history. Much of the Eastern Wisdom we cherish including Yoga is founded in the mystical experience.  What exactly happens during a mystical experience is a mystery and thus the name, mysticism. All we can say for sure is that in the words of Bob Marley is “Who feels it, knows it.” One thing all mystics from all traditions of the East and West talk about is that there is a deep feeling of stillness, of peace and the feeling that all things are deeply connected. Interestingly, a lot of the techniques these yogis
and mystics cultivate, can be explained through understanding the nervous system. Join Yogi, Surfer, and Blissologist Eoin Finn as he explains some of his exciting discoveries after over 23 years of studying philosophy, yoga, meditation and human anatomy in this intriguing workshop. We start with a lecture and discussion, then flow into an amazing vinyasa yoga class to end with a first person experience of the “mystic experience.”

Gravity & Grace: Yoga Tools for the Subtle Body

Yoga is a tool for meeting resistance in our bodies and thoughts in a productive way. How we approach the practice determines the quality yoga brings to our life. This class will use simple balancing poses, slow flow movements, and the subtle forces of gravity and grace to generate a dynamic, heart pumping practice, finishing with a sweet relaxation.  It is suitable for all levels, including beginners.
