Rasa-Lila Fest: Play, Dance, Love

March 30th – 31st | Odessa, FL

Whether you can hold a strong Scorpion pose, or are working on perfecting stillness in Savasana, join Tampa Bay’s leading yoga and holistic practitioners at Rasa-Lila Fest March 30 and 31^st.  The event will take place at Camp Brorein in Odessa, Florida.

Beginning on Friday night, this two day event will be full of yoga and meditation, sound healers, musicians, holistic workshops and lectures, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and rock climbing.  Attendees are welcome to bring tents and camp out Friday night, at the beginning of the weekend’s festivities.

If a festival like Rasa-Lila Fest seems too good to be true, take it from Rasa-Lila Fest Founder Nathan Bangs, “I started Rasa-Lila Fest with a simple vision of bringing the local yoga community together.” He has made this possible through his vision, inspired as yoga continued to expand its horizon throughout the United States. “Rasa-Lila Fest is a celebration of that vision, uniting our growing community at one location, for one great event.”

With Rasa-Lila Fest meaning “the dance of love” in Sanskrit, Friday night’s Pre-Fest activities start with a yoga class to the sound of live music, with “I LOVE YOGA” instructor, Moses Love.  Local recording artist, musician and radio personality, ELUV, will indulge the senses on a sound journey, while festival-goers enjoy the relaxation of nature.

After a night in the great outdoors, or arriving to enjoy the party Saturday morning, yoga and wellness enthusiasts are treated to over a dozen yoga classes, including kids and partner yoga.  Six master classes offered every two hours, will take place on the main stage, featuring instructors: Nathalie Croix, Karina Hahn Harrison, Will Duprey, Jaye Martin, Tymi Howard, and Eric Wheeler.  Attendees will have the opportunity to meet local yoga teachers and studio owners.  In addition, the lucky festival-goers will enjoy musicians, over 28 workshops with Tampa Bay’s most respected healing practitioners, and a vendor village.

You can choose to bring your own treats to snack on, or indulge your taste buds with healthy options, provided by local vendors along the wellness trail.  Take a break to leisurely shop for items made by local artisans.

All proceeds from the Pre-Fest event will be donated to the non-profit, Rasa-Lila Cares, a public charity created to support yoga teachers and their immediate families with hardship as a result of sudden emergencies.  Rasa-Lila Fest will seek to serve a higher purpose through charitable giving in the yoga communities where Rasa-Lila Fest will take place around the country.

Pre-Fest adult admission is $20.00, Adult Fest admission is $45.00 before the festival.  Admission for teens (ages 13-17) is $20.00, and children 12 and under are free.  Camping is $15.00.  Mention discount code: YOGANONYMOUS at time of checkout and receive 10% off your adult ticket price! For more information, visit www.rasalilafest.com.

We hope you decide to join us in our weekend of relaxation and peace.  Namaste.

Join Micheline Berry at Yogani in Tampa FL for a 200-hr Prana Flow Teacher Training! It all kicks off February 17th. More information below from Yogani’s website:

Prana Flow 200-hr Teacher Training w/ Micheline Berry

February 17th – July 15th | Yogani – Tampa, FL

Join Micheline Berry for a comprehensive, empowering and inspired 9-month journey into the art and skill of teaching Vinyasa Flow Yoga. Training is appropriate for both aspiring teachers as well as those who would like to seriously deepen their own practice. Our Prana Flow 200-hr Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher Training will provide you with a full-spectrum foundation to begin teaching Vinyasa Flow Yoga with skill, creativity, intelligence and authenticity. You will learn from both, tradition and innovation.

Vinyasa Yoga embraces diversity. Micheline Berry’s Prana Flow 200hr Teacher Training will draw from Krishnamacharya’s teachings (Patanjali, Ashtanga’s 8-Limb Path & Iyengar-informed Alignment), Tantra Roots (Vijnanabhaïrava Tantra & Spandakarika), Shiva Rea’s Prana Flow Yoga system (Tantra Hatha Yoga), Micheline Berry’s own Teacher Empowerment Training, as well as eclectic and powerful contributions from somatics, yoga philosophy, mind-body psychology, yoga anatomy, and contemporary masters in yoga including SHIVA REA joining us as a special guest for one module!

An ancient technology of ecstasy, Vinyasa Flow Yoga creates a bridge from the mundane to the ecstatic, the ordinary to the sacred, the slothful to the awakened state of being through the vehicle of the soma (the non-verbal, direct experience of the body). In this living practice, layers of cultural, psychological and physiological contractions unwind, releasing a wellspring of creative energy (aka prana or shakti).

Becoming a yoga teacher is a deeply personal, healing journey towards remembering who we really are and returning home to our organic, life-affirming rhythms so that we may guide others to do the same. For the only way we can authentically guide others towards integrated embodiment is to commit ourselves to the work of awakening our own latent gifts and allowing them to thrive. Yoga is not just a path of asana and alignment… it is a path of living life as a vibrant, breathing, ever-evolving sacred art. Committing to the path of a yoga teacher is therefore, committing to the process embodying your own creative potential (shakti prana), allowing it to take shape in the world while inspiring others to do the same.

Our Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training will awaken the living, healing art within and give you the essential tools to actualize some of your deepest potentials and thrive as both a teacher and an artist of life. Start where you are. Compassion and a sense of humor required. Dive in!

Testimonials

“I really loved this course! It covered so much more than I had expected and made me realize that you can use a yoga class to teach a lot more than just asanas.”I loved how well this course was structured and how thorough the manual is. This course exceeded my expectations and I feel very grateful for the time that Erin and Shari spent sharing their knowledge and joy for teaching teens.”"I love the various types of meditations and feel much more comfortable teaching it to teens now. All of the material was very age-appropriate.”I cannot express enough how thorough this training was. I came into this thinking that reaching out to teenagers to teach them yoga would be the scariest thing ever, and now I feel like I have the tools and resources to be successful at it! Thank you!”

“This is a wonderful training – so fun yet chock full of information. Anyone who works with teens in any capacity, would like to serve this population, or even just does yoga and has a teen at home, might enjoy. The Karma Kids program itself is transforming many adolescents who really do need these practices and benefit SO much from them as I can attest to from my work with the Lineage Project, in juvenile detention centers, and from seeing the teens at IYI, a few of them whom took my lunch class recently. They were so into it!”

“I can’t express in words how this teacher training weekend has changed my life in such a positive way.”

Testimonials

“I feel I received so much, each day was so full and satisfying. My experience was nothing short of amazing and as it continues to unfold and flourish in me I realize the many implications of all that you offered.” – Jeannie, Hilton Head, SC

“I was truly impressed and appreciative of how much thought was given to each element of Bhakti, and how to share it with our group. I loved the blend of learning scales, morning singing, encouraging each one of us to sing or lead a chant, the sharing of the band’s chants each day, and I have to say most especially the story-telling. Sean you are such a wonderful story teller, and with a live sound track included, how can it be beat? I really appreciated learning the meaning behind many of the symbols or characteristics of the deities, the relationship between them. I also thought it was wonderful for us to get to choose a different musical focus each day between the three of you to get a taste of which instruments might or might not call to us. In addition to this I think the inclusion of evening social events and dinners really allowed all of us to get to know one another better and relax outside of sessions and absorb in the joy and magic of the Bhaktimmersion.” - Vanessa, Portland, MN

“The Harmonium lessons were critical for me . I was stuck on just a couple of chords and the lessons again gave me the bravery to go beyond and try something a little deeper. I learned alot from how you kept reviewing from the previous day and then took us a bit deeper. The immersion was beyond my expectations. I went there so open and ready to receive. I could feel that you were sincerely supportive of each and every person in that group. You provided a space for me to discover more ways of singing, playing and writing. I am grateful to you, Gwendolyn and Alvin. I could feel the authenticity and careful consideration of making this event special. The group around my studio keep telling me I am glowing. Sometimes I find myself at a loss for words when asked how it was. You are an inspiration and I thank you so very much.” – Vicki, Hilton Head, SC

“I really loved every aspect of the Bhaktimmersion. All the singing and voice training we did every morning helped me find my voice and feel the joy in letting it come through. I knew virtually nothing of the deity stories, so enjoying the sweet gift of your storytelling, along with the ambient music of the band, helped me enter into the story, which is way different from reading it in a book. It brought it to life for me. The binder is packed with incredibly useful information that I continue to use daily. All the percussion and rhythm sessions with Gwendolyn were fantastic. The meditation from Alvin was really beautiful and helped me open my heart even more. And all of the things you guys did outside of class inspired me hugely. You and Gwendolyn opening up your homes and all three of you being so giving of your time to keep the community experience tight was very important to me and taught me so much about service. This was a life-changing experience for me. My heart is open so wide and filled with deep gratitude for all you guys did to make this experience possible for me.” – Carie, College Station, TX

Don’t miss out on this amazing event! The Yoga Institute welcomes Krishna Das at the Unity Church in Houston on January 18th. More information below:

Journey Into the Heart with Krishna Das

Wednesday, January 18th | 8pm

Please arrive early to check your name on the Will Call list. The Will Call and Cash Admission Sales Tables will open @ 6:30 PM at Unity Church on the day of the event.

“Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It’s an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it’s a way of being present in the moment.” - Krishna Das

About Krishna Das

Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga’s “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time, with over 300,000 records sold. His first studio recording in a decade, “HEART AS WIDE AS THE WORLD” invests KD’s magnetic chanting with an electrifying rock ‘n’ roll sensibility informed by a lifetime of experience and musical love.

KD spent the late ‘60’s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass’ own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji.

Given the name Krishna Das, KD began to chant as part of following the path of Bhakti yoga – the yoga of devotion.

After two and a half years with Maharaj-ji, returned to USA – alas, six months after his return, word came that Maharaj-ji had died.

He took solace in music, finding peace and strength in both his Bhakti yoga practice as well as in such heroes as Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, and Bruce Springsteen (whom he laughingly calls “the Bodhisattva of New Jersey”).  KD also co-founded Triloka Records, a California-based label specializing in world music, releasing such artists as Jai Uttal, sarod virtuoso Ali Akbar Khan, and legendary jazz musician/composer Jackie McLean.

Head on over to Moksha Yoga Riverwest for a winter solstice celebration – ‘Moving Into Stillness’ w/ Carolyn Dale.

Begin the celebration of Winter Solstice by preparing your body, mind and spirit for this wonderful time of rebirth. Solstice is the longest night of the year, the darkest day, and signifies a shift towards the return of light. The practice will focus on detoxifying organs, strengthening and lengthening muscles, and pranayama (breathing) practices for calming and cleansing the body and leading the mind inward to stillness. Pranayama will be interwoven with asana movement and meditation to balance the nervous system and calm the mind creating a deep connection to the truth and essence of light within us. We each have exclusive access to our inner knowing. To tap into this knowledge, we must first root down in the present moment and breath. The breath is our vehicle to our inner guidance. All we need to do is be patient, listen, receive and follow the stillness of the breath. Align with nature and feel innate balance.

Join Les Leventhal on Saturday afternoon for Hips & Twists: Liberate Your Hips, Free Your Spine at Yoga Tree Castro!

To open the hips, we begin by cultivating awareness of the challenges we hold in our hips and pelvic region. We can begin to relax and strengthen the quads, the inner and outer muscles of the thighs and stretch the hamstrings. While unlocking this area of our bodies we will also free the spine with twists which can infuse the body with vitality and well being and release enormous amounts of tension. Twists are associated with toning and rejuvenating the abdominal and pelvic regions. When these regions are engaged, blood flow naturally increases and toxins are released – a natural internal massage. Relaxing and strengthening these areas releases lower back tension and frees limitation in the neck and shoulders.

Join Nancy Kate Williams and Shannon Paige Schneider for a weekend of workshops focused on ‘Skill In Action’ at Flow Together in New Cumberland!

Learn to express the evolution of asana in relationship to the key actions that ease the natural unfolding from simple to complex offerings.  The method comes through the embodied conversation of one family of yoga to another and the leveraging of mindful progression in vibratory resonance to the body’s energetic alignment.  This may be the highest discussion you have held in your strength, grace and attention to the manner in which one posture naturally grows into its more unfolded, bound, or integrated form.  Embody and share the unfolding of yoga!

Les will be leading this advanced training February 20th – 24th, more information below from the studio website:

Les Leventhal 40-hour Advanced Training

February 20th – 24th | Houston, TX

This 40-Hour Advanced Teacher Training is for intermediate and advanced students and teachers who want to deepen their practice. The training will focus on backbends, hips and twists, arm balances and inversion poses and everything that is required to safely warm up and strengthen the body for these poses. All 40 hours of this training qualify for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Units.

This 40 hour module will focus on advanced asanas, sequencing and adjusting and is meant to guide the intermediate and advanced practitioner deeper into poses that might not have revealed their full potential or ability to access those deeper places, where students sometimes get stuck. It has also been created for teachers to have many different options to up-level and/or to provide a longer hold in poses, so students can discover and/or uncover the Atman within (the true uncluttered nature of oneself).

Vinyasa yoga is a very creative and expressive style of yoga. When teaching vinyasa classes, you might have similar themes from day to day, but you will never follow the same path from class to class. In other words, you can create a sequence of poses to safely reach one particular peak pose, or you can plan a sequence with an extended hot portion that contains a series of several peak poses. Both will be covered in this training. Equally important to remember when teaching a vinyasa class is to provide modifications for poses, so that students who are injured can also be engaged and included in class and not forgotten or left out while in poses. While teaching advanced asanas it is important to remind students to focus not on the end result or how a pose looks, but rather on the ability of students to maintain their awareness of their breath (Ujjayi) and to enjoy moments of stillness, which can promote strength, grace, healing and Ananda (bliss).

This training will elevate your awareness of you are right now in this moment of time in your life and allow you the freedom to express yourself in a very creative and powerful way that opens your heart to continue your journey of sharing your spirit and this very sacred time of being alive.
