Transcendental Meditation Lecture is 7:45-8:45pm, the 3rd Thursday of every month with John Zisman. This class will review the benefits and process of meditation in the Transcendental Meditation approach. Those interested in learning the technique will then meet with John over a four day period.

Yoga for Sleep
with Sondra Mitchell, Registered Yoga Teacher
Sunday, March. 21, 2010
10:00am-noon Cost $25
Getting adequate sleep is an important health issue, just like eating right, exercise, and not smoking. People with sleep problems may suffer from muscle aches, weak memory, inattention, irritability, mood swings, and increased susceptibility to illness.
From a yogic perspective, insomnia is due to the mind and body’s subtle energy being agitated, out of control and /or locked into disharmonious patterns. Yoga’s solution is to work directly with the body, energy and mind to reestablish sleep-friendly calmness and harmony on all levels.
Yoga for Sleep routines offer this by integrating classical yoga tools, postures, breathing techniques and affirmations. These techniques, when performed along with healthy sleep habits, are most effective in assisting with the sound sleep you desire.
Laughter Yoga
with Meg Scott
March 20 & 21, 9:30am-4pm
$250 or $225 if registered two weeks prior to class.

Sanskrit Level I Course Description
The Sanskrit Training combines the two powers, Sanskrit and yoga, to create an educational adventure that will not only give you the joy of reading sutras in the original script, and pronouncing them with precision, but will change the way you perceive the learning experience forever. Operating through mutual agreement, participants break through old learning patterns based on the competitive, "get it right," model, and bond with the beauty and energy of Sanskrit as well as with each other.
What you will learn in the course of the weekend:
- a powerful new learning model that teaches you the key to sustained one-pointed focus & gives you complete comfort and enjoyment in a group learning environment
- the opening of your voice; your capacity to fully resonate and heal with sound
- an intimate understanding of the structure of sacred sound: the Sanskrit Alphabet; knowledge & practice of the sounds of the alphabet
- how to read Sanskrit, and use the recognition of the original script to enhance your experience of sacred sound
- the essence of yoga, through the model of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras in the original script
Who is teaching:
Instructor Zoe Mai began practicing Ashtanga Yoga with Manju Jois in Philadelphia in 1995. In 2005 and 2006 she traveled to India to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Rangaswamy. She began her study of Sanskrit in India. Upon returning to the States Zoe took her first Weekend Sanskrit Training with Vyaas Houston. The experience was illuminating and life transforming. After experiencing the ASI learning model, her study of Sanskrit became a graceful dance with a living breathing language. Since that first weekend training Zoe has taken every opportunity to study with Vyaas in an attempt to move more deeply into the language and fully imbibe the yoga based learning model of The American Sanskrit Institute. She is currently teaching college classes in Psychology, Yoga Philosophy and Sanskrit using only the ASI learning model.

Free Yoga Class
Bring a friend, bring your interest and playfulness, and discover the world of yoga. Learn more about this ancient system for improving and connecting the body, mind and spirit. Offered on the first Thursday of the month.
GYROKINESIS®
Gyrokinesis takes its cues from the body’s natural rotational movement. This total body workout restores strength and fluidity to muscles and joints. Its fully rotational exercises build core and lean muscle strength while nourishing the body with focused breath work.
Seven different movement principles (bending forward, extending backward, side bending right and left, rotating right and left, and circular) are harmoniously paired with breathing patterns and organized into a flowing workout that resembles a choreographed dance. In the end, Gyrokinesis trains the mind and body to move gracefully while producing a long, lean, powerful, and more flexible body.
Classes begin seated on low stools and then move to floor and standing positions. The series of exercises are safe for the injured or just out of shape person as well as beneficial for the already fit person who wants to add another dimension to his/her exercise routine. Gyrokinesis teaches you how to sit erect, opens you up and creates space between your joints. You will finish your session brimming with energy and wanting to stand and sit tall with a renewed uprightness. Soon you will notice this flowing over into your daily living habits, leading to more optimal health.
This unique system is based on principles from Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, gymnastics, swimming, rowing, meditation and energy work.
This is a partial list of Gyrokinesis benefits.
● Restores strength & fluidity to muscles & joints.
● Nourishes the body with focused breath work.
● Opens pathways to increased mobility, blood flow and oxygenation.
● Elevates body temperature for cardiovascular benefit.
● Invigorates the organs, blood, muscles and bones at the cellular
level opening energetic pathways.
● Stimulates & calms the nervous system.
● Suits all body types & physical fitness levels.
GYROKINESIS® with Elise
Wednesdays 6:00 pm- 7:30 pm
