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.

Yoga invites us to seize upon the particular opportunity of what it means to be YOU and then create the self of your imagination. You become the person you practice being, and so at any moment you can step into the self you want to become. Put that self into practice!

Sita, Ram, Hanuman | Saturday 9/17 | 1pm – 4:30pm: As one of yoga’s most beloved texts, the Ramayana is the epic tale, of a king, his lady and his best friend as they fight through darkness to rediscover love and light.

Even though Hurricane Irene kept David Regelin from teaching at Sanctuary in Nashville in late August, he is ready to rock this weekend with 4 awesome Vesica/Multi-Intenso workshops!

The Vesica Practice is an evolutionary thread of postures supported by technique-oriented instruction. A typical class begins with Surya Namaskar variations. What follows is an innovative sequence of postures that includes foot standing, hand standing, and seated asanas. The pace of the class ranges from fluid and dynamic, to still, measured, and organic.

The Vesica Practice combines techniques from multiple Vinyasa styles and movement modalities with Kundalini and Nevine Michaan yoga. Students learn to be skillful and efficient in movement, and well adjusted in postures. The Vesica Practice employs archetypal alignment principles that reveal the proportion, balance, integration, pattern, and structure inherent within each posture. The goal of the Vesica Practice is to offer a sustainable method of yoga that turns students into teachers, by developing their ability to self adjust, uplift, ground, gain clarity, insight, and become powerful and graceful practitioners.

Les has also assisted Ana’s teacher training and studied many additional hours with her. Also, Les has completed several trainings with Tias Little and has learned much of his alignment and technique cues from Tias, as well as a firm foundation in the 8 Fold path of Buddhism which compliments the asana practice with a sense of grace and elegance that allow you to take classes whatever your yoga experience and whatever traditions you have in your own life. He pays careful attention to weave in the 8 limbs of yoga and keep the traditional styles and intentions of yoga a part of his classes while making great strides into opening a window into our global cultural shift. Les’ yoga will give you an opportunity to heal your heart and laugh, cry, dance and just let go. Some classes flow freely, while others will explore holding postures a bit longer. Many classes have music. Most of all, in Les’ classes, you have an opportunity to modify and do what you need to do in order to take care of your practice and that in learning to take better care of yourself, you can then take better care of those around you and they might then take better care of those around them. “What I’m teaching comes from my studies and how I incorporate that into my body and my spirit. My voice should only be a guide for you to explore your body and spirit and that the voice of your spirit will speak more clearly than anything I would ever have to say” says Les. Les has been featured twice in Yoga Journal magazine and interviewed by Darren Main, author of Yoga and The Path of The Urban Mystic and also by Voice America – Your Life Without Limits by Joe Sarti.

Las Vegas, NV

Saturday, June 11th – Sunday, June 12th

Viva Las Vegas! Don’t miss our friend and teacher, Les Leventhal at Sherry Goldstein’s Yoga Sanctuary!

Perhaps the best way to understand Les Leventhal’s popularity (he is THE yoga teacher in San Francisco) and why he’s held in such high esteem (he headlines at yoga conferences and retreats worldwide) is to appreciate his fierce loyalty to his mantra: embrace life with passion. Known for his affirming teaching style and dynamism, he asks that you meet yourself on the mat in a whole new way. That every pose and breath be about claiming your space in the world so you can manifest what you require, desire, and deserve. Train with Les and it’s as if each movement is the result of an intentional thought, knowing exactly where every body part is supposed to be. Stir in a playful presence, Buddhist philosophy and a sweaty flow that just won’t quit and you’ll leave with an aliveness in your body and absolute nirvana! Treat yourself and your yoga practice to Les Leventhal.

Boulder + Denver, CO

Saturday, April 30th – Monday, May 2nd

Join Alanna Kaivalya at Core Power Yoga in Colorado! Deepen your practice as you find out the truth about yoga myths, explore the seven chakras, and learn the art of assisting. Alanna will be hosting three incredible workshops at Core Power Yoga in both Denver and Boulder Saturday, April 30- Monday, May 2.

Myths of the Asanas | Saturday, April 30th | South Boulder 2pm – 4pm: Who is the Warrior behind Virabhadrasana I, II and III? Why does Hanuman have three poses in his honor? What makes King Dancer pose so regal? The myths of yoga’s spiritual tradition have the power to change old patterns of behavior, providing us with enlightened insight that brings us closer to who we really are.

The Essence of the Chakras | Sunday, May 1^st | Cherry Hills  9-11am: Each of the seven chakras are sacred energy centers that give us information about where we need to direct our yoga practice – like a road map on the highway to liberation. Through the use of yoga asana and mantra, we’ll delve deeply into the energetic patterns held within our bodies to discover the blockages and resistance preventing us from experiencing a constant state of happiness.

The Art of Adjustments | Monday, May 2^nd | Cherry Hills 6-8pm: Yoga practitioners derive tremendous benefit from effective adjustments. This workshop will explore the principles behind save and transformative hands-on assists. All types of adjustments will be covered, and an understanding of how to “see” the body and optimize students’ freedom in asanas will be explored.

Houston, TX

Saturday, April 2nd – Sunday, April 3rd

Head on over to CuraYoga Texas for: Growing the Heart of a Bodhisattva – A Tibetan Heart Yoga Workshop with Cassandra DeLarios

The goal of Tibetan Heart Yoga is to experience results of (any) spiritual path quickly thru a combination of inner and outer method. The inner methods include heart-centered intention, guided meditation and visualization, and analysis of the nature of reality. The outer methods are the physical techniques of yoga including mantra (chanting), mudra (hand and body seals), pranayama (breathing) and asana (postures). The inner methods learned in Tibetan Heart Yoga can be applied to any other yoga practice but the sequences are designed to move prana (energy) in a specific way to facilitate inner healing, awareness and freedom. Students report feeling refreshed and happy after class, but more lasting benefits come with repeated practice as the techniques of class make a more permanent impression on the mind of the practitioner.

The Texas Yoga Association was founded by our dear friend Jennifer Buergermeister.

From the Texas Yoga Association :

Over 1,500 Texans have signed a petition sponsored by the Texas Yoga Association (TYA) to pass House Bills No. 1839 by Representative Phillips and 2167 by Representative Murphy that aim to keep government from regulating yoga. In support of moving the bills through legislation, the TYA invites yoga enthusiasts, state representatives and anyone who supports the future of health and wellness to practice yoga together on the Southeast corner of the Texas State Capitol lawn at Congress and 11th Street in Austin, Texas on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. House Representative Eddie Lucio III will lead other representatives and staff to meet the yoga enthusiasts in promotion of a healthy lifestyle, and musician David Berkeley will be flying in from Atlanta to perform at the peaceful demonstration of yoga for wellness.

Operating on the premise that offering a teacher training program for yoga instructors classifies a yoga studio as a “post-secondary career school or college,” the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) began the movement to regulate training programs across the state. Texas Yoga Conference President and Executive Director Jennifer Buergermeister states: “Regulation by the Texas Workforce Commission is not appropriate for yoga studios and does not benefit yoga students. Regardless of what stance is taken on this important issue, of whether or not there should be some standards regarding what a yoga teacher training program consists of, the State of Texas (Texas Workforce Commission) is not the proper entity to make that determination. By staging this peaceful demonstration, we hope to keep regulation out of our over 5,000 year old tradition.”

January 2011. Yogis gathered in mandala inside the capitol building chanting OM.

Buergermeister, who is based in Houston, will travel to Austin on a bus full of Houstonians that afternoon to lead the class. Her advocacy for yoga derives from a deep-rooted passion that yoga is for everyone and has the capacity to unite people. She believes Texas can become a “mecca for yoga” for visitors from all over the world to enjoy and is steadily working toward making this goal a reality.

Bus leaves from Houston at 10 a.m. sharp on Wed, March 16th at 3641 Westheimer Rd. 77027 in River Oaks, traveling to Austin and returning around midnight the same day. The Texas Yoga Association will peacefully rally in support of bill to keep government from regulating yoga and invites yogis far and wide to join a mass yoga class on the State Capitol lawn March 16 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Coming Feb. 28-March 6, 2011 at CuraYoga YogicArts® Training in Houston, TX Date: Feb 28 – March 6, 2011 What: The YogicArts® with Duncan Wong 100-hour Yoga Alliance Certified Training (50 contact, 50 field work) Time: 9-6 p.m. Daily Course, (Monday – Sunday, Feb. 28 – March 6th, 2011) Breakdown of day: 9-11 a.m. Training 11:15-12:00 Lecture 2:00-4:00 Training 4:30-6:00 Training Cost: $1500 per person ——– YogicArts was born from a life of Advanced Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Buddhist Mixed Martial Arts and Thai-Shiatsu BodyWork, with the rhythms of Ancient Mantras, Tribal Dance and Urban BreakBeats; YogicArts is Vedic Vinyasa Chikitsa (Movement Therapy Technology).

About Duncan

(From his website): Duncan Wong, creator of the Yogic Arts™ system, an organic movement technology that synthesizes the stillness and simplicity of Zen philosophy with comprehensive core dynamic flow mechanics, mixed martial arts mudra and stance structure, interdisciplinary bodywork therapy, and a refined approach to assisting and alignment, with the rhythm of modern dance and urban breakbeats.

Duncan’s ability to multi-assist the entirety of a pose, and his gift of conveying the essential relationship between each posture and their intrinsically interconnected fluidity, attunes our minds and hearts to the confluence of this ancient wisdom technology of the mystery schools, that we discover is the best method for mirroring our own life movement and lifestyle choices; awakening the insight necessary to realize our destiny, while aligning with our spirit guides who protect us on our sacred resonant journey.

Yogic Arts is, in essence, a personal investigation of the ways in which we relate the primal movements of all wisdom cultures, emphasizing contact, connection and alignment of elemental and energetic spiritual forms. From this experience we learn to approach our own heavenly body as a fine tuned instrument of sacred sound, whose purpose is to serve the wholeness that we call enlightenment. At its most immediate level, Yogic Arts is advanced technique experienced in a comprehensive and compassionate style, for the support of all beings equal happiness and freedom.  Yogic Arts™: Awaken Your Spiritual Athlete.

This past year, Maria led a retreat to Rishikesh where the group visited the school and met with the students, giving them school supplies. After visiting with the children Maria pledged to bring back resources (her old laptop), supplies, and money to help keep the project alive. This inspired her to have a fundraiser for Jagriti. The money raised by the fundraiser will be the first outside donation received by the school.
