Richmond, Virginia Workshops Therapeutic Principles of Sequencing Following the Philosophy of Para Yoga Fri November 15 - Sun November 17 , 2013
Therapeutic Principles of Sequencing Following the Philosophy of Para Yoga With With Hollace Stephenson, E-RYT500, Instructor Teacher Training "Para" means supreme, highest, ancient and culmination of all efforts. ParaYoga, created by Yogarupa Rod Stryker, is a holistic and therapeutic approach to yoga. It's holistic approach teaches us to unite all aspects of our lives - from practice on the mat, to family, to work, to our our interactions with strangers - with the supreme, highest intelligence. The ultimate goal of Para Yoga is to help people to live the healthiest, happiest, and most fruitful lives possible. Rod released his first book "The Four Desires: Creating a Life of Purpose, Happiness, Prosperity, and Freedom" which is dedicated to explaining this process in 2011. ParaYoga® combines the three rivers of Classical Yoga, Tantra, and Ayurveda into a comprehensive system to facilitate self-discovery and self-mastery. It is based on science and grounded in tradition and lineage. Classical Yoga is about clearing away the dust so the light can shine: removing obstacles to remembering your highest, most supreme self. Tantra’s focus is working with energy, weaving the fabric of life to bring about transformation of the whole person. Ayurveda‘s focus is harmony with the forces of the universe, of body, breath and spirit. This holistic approach is reflected in all Para yoga class sequences. As such, during this workshop we will explore, largely through the eyes of Para Yoga, how to sequence a therapeutic flow yoga class that is accessible, healing, and rejuvenating, yet still challenging for all (should you choose it to be). Hollace is one of Rod Stryker's senior students and has along with other senior students been working with him to prepare his teacher training program. Her approach to ParaYoga®, based on her studies with Rod, weaves asana (postures), pranayama (breath work), bandha (locks), mudras (body positions or attitudes of practice), kriya (energy internalization to purify consciousness), laya (elimination of unwanted behavior patterns), chakras (energy centers), kundalini (awakening of dormant energy), visualization, self-reflection, chanting, meditation and mantra (sacred word). Creating great class themes and knowing principles of sequencing make yoga classes safe, fun, and forever interesting. In this immersion we will learn how to intuitively create an organic, transformative, multi-dimensional yoga flow. We'll learn new and creative ways to sequence a flow while moving towards an intelligent peak asana ending with deep and satisfying restoration. During this workshop we will:
