Listening to the heart:Directional guidance from your deepest place of knowing
Saturday & Sunday, September 11 & 12,2010
Time: 12:30 – 15:30, both days.
Price:both days 750RMB/Saturday only 380RMB
We are excited to welcome Cameron Tukapua (leader of our annual Yoga Yard Spring Retreat) back to Beijing this September, for two weekend workshops designed to help you reveal the heart’s inner wisdom and offer you practical tools for how to make wise choices about your life’s direction.
In all spiritual traditions we are taught that the heart is the place of true knowledge. Listening to the heart is a practice that can support us to make wise choices about our life's direction. These sessions will include practical instruction on how to recognize when the heart is speaking to you. Guided contemplation will be combined with Heart meridian opening exercises and mindfulness practices on being fully present. As we establish a strong relationship with our heart's presence we learn to hear what our wise Self knows. How to connect with this knowing place can be learned in a few hours. These sessions give you practical tools that can guide you for a lifetime. Space is limited and pre-registration required.

Ayurvedic Detox Flow: Transitioning to Fall with Ayurveda and Yoga
In this workshop we will discover our ayurvedic body constitution and learn how to stay in balance while we transi-tion from summer to fall. We will discuss various cleansing techniques to keep our bodies healthy, our mind strong. In addition, there will be some discussion on ayurvedic diet and what foods are appropriate for fall. Then we will move through a yoga practice developed to cleanse the body and prepare you for the cold months ahead. Various breathing
techniques will be incorporated into a dynamic yet freeing yoga practice.The sequence will be centered around our third chakra, the manipura chakra, igniting our internal fire. The seated sequence will massage our abdominal organs while gradually simmering the fire. We will end with a relaxing digestive meditation.
Lisa (a teacher at Yoga Yard) graduated from Kripalu School of Ayurveda with an Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist certification in 2009 and has been practicing yoga for over 25 years. Lisa shares her knowledge of both Ayurveda and Yoga in eclectic classes designed to leave you feeling balanced in both body and mind.
