Fundraiser for Haiti:

Saturday Feb. 13, from 10-12:30 pm

Class will be followed by chocolate sampling, Dryad Magical Chocolates.

100% of the proceeds will go to Saint Rock Clinic in Haiti.

Come join Anjali for this All-levels, challenging class which will begin with a focus on offering unconditional love and friendliness (metta) to our very own hearts. We'll expand this focus in widening circles to our friends, families, partners, and ultimately to embrace the whole world. Practice expansive and heart-opening back bends, playful partner poses, deep forward bowing to the Self, hip openers to broaden our hips and lower back, and whole group supportive circular poses to expand our vision and link with the entire jewel-like web of life.
~ All-levels are welcome, but some yoga experience necessary. Modifications will be given.

* This is our chance to raise the roof for Haiti. Some doctors are treating 500 patients a day, but supplies are desperately needed. This little clinic stood strong during the earthquake; we can stand strong for our sisters and brothers too!

Tantra means “to expand beyond all limitation”

This workshop will introduce students to the ideas and deeply rooted scientific base of tantra yoga through an accessible, dynamic and joyful practice. Incorporating asana, pranayama, meditation, energy medicine and other techniques, the student will learn how to define and link up the practices that are specific to them. Goal is to clarify and then increase the prana (energy) in your life so that you can achieve all your goals.
Come join me in these workshops and transform your yoga practice, and your life!
