Start your mornings with an invigorating practice!
The challenge will include Sun Salutations to warm up the body, 40 minutes of pranayama (breathing exercises), as well as guided relaxation.
These practices help to strengthen the respiratory system, increase stamina and keep good physical health. They also help keep the mind calm and peaceful.
Here are some of the benefits of pranayama:
-Optimal gas exchange (O2 and CO2)
-Oxygenation of tissues thanks to breath retention
-Harmonization of metabolic rates and chemical balance of the body
-Clearness of mind and stimulation of the parasympathetic system
-Improvement of digestion and fortification of the immune system
In order to benefit from this program, it is important to participate in all 9 sessions.
Cost: $ 65

We all have different temperaments and learn in different ways. Although there is only one teaching that is being taught to us all the time, our mind perceives it differently. There are four main paths that we walk in order to gain more understanding about ourselves and the world around us.
In this workshop we will explore main concepts from these paths:
-Raja Yoga (Yoga of Meditation)
-Karma Yoga (Yoga of Action)
-Jnana Yoga (Yoga of Knowledge)
-Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of Devotion)
Each one of us is drawn to one of the paths but we naturaly use the knowledge of other paths as well , as our personality has different aspects and therefore yoga is learned in a holistic way.

Bhakti Yoga is one of 4 main paths of Yoga. It involves cultivating mental attitude of seeing God in all manifestations around us. There are nine main practices that help this process and five ways in which each person relates to God according to their temperament. In this workshop we will look into these practices and ways that are suitable to bring more devotion into our lives.
