Omaha, NE

Friday October 7th – Saturday, October 8th

Join Jason Bowman at the Lotus House of Yoga in Omaha for a weekend of workshops!

The Yoga Sutras & Seated Meditation | 10/7 | 7pm – 8:30pm: This workshop is designed to facilitate a grounded understanding of some of the key philosophical concepts of classical yoga. We will apply the teachings to contemporary existence and then employ them by sitting together. Simple but potent meditation techniques will be offered for exploration in a group setting.

Arm Balancing w/ Alignment | 10/8 | 9am – 11am: Build the ability to playfully defy gravity by exploring simple yet potent alignment techniques. This intermediate level workshop will work to forge an understanding of the key actions which lay the foundation for success in inversions. These sometimes daunting poses become much more manageable with an awareness of some uncomplicated structural systems in the body.

Structural Integrity in Asana | 10/8 | 2pm – 4pm: In this all levels alignment intensive asana workshop we shine a light on the dynamics of physical action in the body. Using the hatha and vinyasa yoga systems we will explore how engaging the body in opposition allows for an intuitive sense of rooted growth and grounded expression. Just as how in erecting a structure there must be dynamic tension and support, so the body thrives on an intelligent intermingling of expansion and contraction.

Join Will Duprey at Rina Yoga in Miami for the final installment of a 3-part mater series entitled: ‘The Power of Yoga: Nadi Chakra Bandha Theory’ on Saturday afternoon!

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. By mastery of this science, which includes flexibility, strength, and access to more postures, the body is made light, healthy and steady and able to achieve the first stage of yoga.

Hey Philly yogis! Head on over to Dhyana Yoga in West Philly on Saturday afternoon from 2pm – 5pm in ‘Pursuit of Happy Hips’ with Eoin Finn!

Building from the foundation we experience in the Yin and Yang of Yoga, we will continue on to explore pelvic anatomy and the psychology of the hips. Find out what rules we need to follow to help keep the yoga practice safe and beneficial to our physiology, while also learning how many rules actually restrict us.
