Saturday, September 24th

Join Will Duprey at Rina Yoga for the Power of Yoga: Nadi Chakra Bandha Theory on Saturday afternoon! This master class is the first of three in a series.

This Master Series will explore the energetic system that underlie the whole human experience. This system referred to as the subtle body can easily be accessed by the practice of yoga. The subtle body is composed of a chief theory that we often eliminate from our physical practices. These practices are composed of nadis, chakras and bandhas. Nadis are similar to meridians used in acupuncture and are often described as tubes or lines that stretch out in a sheath beneath the body. Chakras are plexuses within the body where these lines meet. Bandha is a methodology of directing the energy pooled in the chakra. Hatha Yoga, comprised of a series of texts and based on a classical theory called shadanga, places a chief emphasis on mastery of the body.

So let’s practice digging deep within ourselves to connect to our own inner strength, personal power and intuition to trust the wisdom within! Rather than search outside ourselves for the truth, let’s dig deep within to listen to what our hearts and souls are telling us. Because if we dig deep enough and listen hard enough, the answers will come.

Chapel Hill, NC

Saturday, September 24th – Sunday, September 25th

Join Les Leventhal at the Franklin Yoga Center in Chapel Hill for a weekend of workshops!

Hips & Twists: Liberate your Hips, Free Your Spine | 9/24 | 11am – 1:30pm: To open the hips, Les has us first cultivate awareness of the challenges we hold in our hips and pelvic region. We can then begin to relax and strengthen the quads, the inner and outer muscles of the thighs, and stretch the hamstrings. While unlocking these areas, we will also free the spine with twists to infuse the body with vitality and well being, plus release enormous amounts of tension.

Art of Backbends | 9/24 | 3pm – 5:30pm: Backbends are some of yoga’s most exhilarating postures and sometimes the most demanding. In this workshop we will open the entire front body, with emphasis on the heart center. We will explore many different ways of working with and without props, along with physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of a backbend. Your heart will dance with the fine art of balancing effort and surrender.

Arm Balances & Inversions | 9/25 | 12:30pm – 3pm: Arm Balances and Inversions can be some of the most challenging and fun poses to practice. Learn to safely defy gravity, starting with a single breath. In this workshop you will strengthen your core to better support your arm balances.

About Prana Flow® evolutionary vinyasa teacher training:

Prana Flow® Evolutionary Vinyasa Teacher Studies Program, created by Shiva Rea and offered by the Prana Flow Global Collective is a transformative and energetic approach to Vinyasa-based Yoga. Our unique program offers a dynamic approach to the art of living and embodying the flow of yoga. In Shiva’s comprehensive and innovative teacher training program, you will learn to teach Prana Flow® Yoga that is connected to the roots within the Krishnamacharya lineage, Tantra, Bhakti, and Ayurveda.

Prana Flow classes are ritual sadhanas. Prana Flow classes are breath inspired journeys that offer a complete spectrum (ha-tha) of rhythms from meditative and rejuvenating to the challenging and empowering. The wave of a class is created through cycles of effective and creative sequences (vinyasas) linked together through the breathwave. Every class is well-rounded : following the mandala of the body and asanas – to create whole body transformation of strength and fluidity, circulation and centering. Drawing on a base of over 27 Namaskars, classes offer a means to explore the fullness of one’s self from solar to lunar while being centered in the flow of breath.
