108 Sun Salutations
A Moving Mala
| Day: Monday • Time: 6:00-7:30pm • Date: September 12th • Instructor: John • Cost: $10 (Free unlimited students) • Location: onlYoga |
The Mala
A mala (Sanskrit for garland) is a meditation tool, used to count the number of mantra repetitions completed per sitting. Mantra repetition using a mala is an effective way of keeping your mind focused, and can make meditation more relaxing and soothing by relieving physical tension.
Historically, malas have been used as a part of an integrated spiritual practice that may also contain hatha yoga.
A mala contains 108 beads and a larger "meru" bead. The tassled "meru" bead is symbolic of the transcended state, and indicates the beginning and end of a cycle. The significance of "108" is because the Brahmand (universe) is made up of 108 elements (and according to modern scientific chemistry, the universe is made up of more than 108 elements). So 108 represents the universe.

Metaphor Of Trancendence
The Heart - Anahata & Vishunddha
The chakras are symbols in an ancient metaphorical language. Their meaning pertains to the ever evolving consciousness as it travels from one frequency to another. The wheel, the spiral, the flow of energy from one state to the next, the symbols of the chakras innervate the subtle body and bring about union with the universe at large. In this workshop we will explore the shape, sound and texture of the fourth and fifth psychospiritual "organs" - Anahata: the heart chakra, green, seat of empathy and love & Vishunddha: the throat chakra, sky blue, communication and creativity. This workshop is the first in a series of four exploring the chakras through metaphor, movement, visualization and guided meditation.
Date: September, 3rd 2011
Time: Saturday 9 - 11am

A safe comprehensive approach to the Ashtanga Primary Series

Session 1 The 8 Limbs and Sun Salutations -
Session 2 The Standing Sequence -
Session 3 The Seated Sequence -
Session 4 Putting It All Together & Closing -
Prepay for All 4 Sessions $65 • Price After October 25th $75 • Drop-Ins Welcome ($20) - Pre-Register ONLINE
A systematic approach to learning and understanding the Ashtanga Primary Series. Suitable for all levels, the onlYoga Ashtanga Foundations series offers new students a thorough and safe introduction to learning the Ashtanga Vinyasa method while building the strength and confidence necessary to move into more advanced classes in the studio. For more experienced practitioners, the course provides a tool for reviewing and strengthening the fundamental concepts that make the Ashtanga form so dynamic. We recommend new students start at the beginning of the 4 week series, however, since this is an ongoing course students can drop in for any of the 4 classes.
The 8 Limbs & Sun Salutations
Jan 10th, 2010
2:30PM-4:30PM
In this session we will discuss the history of Yoga in general and Ashtanga yoga in particular. Students will be introduced to the central themes of the practice including how to keep the mind steady through consistent use of the breath, Vinyasa and coordination of the body to the fluid nature of the breath, dynamic opposition of forces to create balance and alignment, the benefits of a consistent yoga practice and much much more...
The Standing Sequence
Jan 17th, 2010
2:30pm -4:30PM
In session two we will delve into the 13 postures of the Ashtanga standing sequence. We will go over each posture in detail. Students will be given an opportunity to explore each posture and then time will be spent answering questions. There will be additional focus on helping students grasp the importance of moving effectively from one posture to the next and how the sequence builds from simple to complex movement.
The Seated Sequence
Jan 31st, 2010
2:30PM-4:30PM
Session Three covers the extensive postures of the Ashtanga seated sequence - the Primary Series. The series is composed primarily of forward folds and side twists. Besides being introduced to each posture of the series, students will learn about jumping back and jumping forward. Time will also be spent on modifications for some of the more complex postures and answering questions.
Putting It All Together & Closing
Feb 7th, 2010
2:30PM-4:30PM
In this final meeting of the onlYoga Foundation Series we will put the pieces of the practice back together and spend time learning about how to move through a safe closing sequence. Students will be introduced to backbends and inversions.
