about Power Yoga
Power yoga is a Vinyasa style of yoga in which one pose is linked to the next by breath. It is a more vigorous class and often modeled after poses in Ashtanga yoga. Power yoga increases internal heat and focus, and it infuses the grace of movement with the strength of stillness. You will love it! This workshop is open to all levels of student and yoga teacher.

Ayurveda for Yoga Teachers
wtih Hilary Garivaltis
July 16-20, 2008
Are you intrigued by Ayurveda but confused by all the books and body-type questionnaires? Do you need more guidance and support to make Ayurvedic tools part of your yoga teaching as well as your own healthy routine?
During this 5 day introduction, you will
Learn the foundational concepts and precepts in Ayurveda, including the five-element and tridoshic theory, and how to apply them in daily life
Discover your own personal constitutional blueprint (doshic type)
Explore the primary tools to keep body, mind, and spirit in balance through diet, lifestyle, and other healthful living tools
Experience daily yoga, breathing, and meditation practices designed for your type and for the season.
This workshop will also introduce the ancient art of cleansing and rejuvenation called panchakarma and review seasonal cleansing protocols that anyone can do at home. You will leave with excellent tools to bring greater balance and well-being into your life and to share with your yoga students.
Ayurveda and yoga have existed side by side for thousands of years in their native India. The yogis in the village were also the Ayurvedic doctors in most cases. Modern yoga trainings are now encouraging students to learn more Ayurveda and deepen their understanding of both sciences. This 5 day training will introduce the science of Ayurveda to those teachers grounded in yoga. We will explore:
Common philosophical underpinnings to both yoga and Ayurveda
Historical background
Five element theory
Tri-doshic theory
Introduction to the gunas
Introduction to Ayurvedic anatomy and physiology (how we see the body from an energetic systems perspective)
Digestion and nutrition
Daily routine/seasonal routine
Asana, pranayama, meditation and mantra for balancing the body, mind, spirit
**this training may be used toward Wilmington Yoga's 500 hour Teacher Training Program

Thai Yoga Massage Training
with Jonas Westring
October 15 - 19, 2008
Practiced for centuries in the temples of Thailand, Thai Yoga Bodywork incorporates the Buddhist practices of mindfulness and compassion with the use of assisted yoga postures from Ayurveda. Through a seamless, mindful meditative dance, the practitioner gracefully moves the receiver’s body through a full range of possible movement.
The Thai Yoga method is based on the northern style of Traditional Thai massage with additional, supportive perspectives from both yoga and bio-mechanics. This professional intensive prepares you to give a complete 90-minute traditional Thai Yoga session. You will learn a highly effective sequence of traditional techniques including therapeutic stretching, joint mobilization, deep-tissue compression, toning of energy pathways, acupressure, hatha yoga poses, meditation, and breathing techniques. Safety consideration and proper, therapeutic application of all techniques will be addressed in-depth. With regards to the Thai healing tradition and to further support students understanding of its ancient roots, cultural aspects will be addressed.
The Thai Yoga method emphasizes optimal wellbeing not only for the receiver, but also of the practitioner. This program will teach you the essence of a transformational healing art while simultaneously give you a direct experience of its deeply rejuvenating powers.
Ideal for yoga teachers who wants to expand their hands-on repertoire and one-on-one yogic tool box, this training will give bodyworkers, massage therapists and others in the healing arts – not only a new effective healing modality – but a deeply therapeutic and rejuvenating 5-day period to enjoy.
