Namaste Friends! 
Just wanted to share that I have two new upcoming workshops happening soon. I have a 2 hour Deep Meditation workshop happening at Tri-Yoga on Thursday, Sept 22nd at 6:30pm as part of their 3 month “Extreme Wellness” program. Details on the program and how to register for it can be found here: http://www.tri-yogacalgary.com/extreme-wellness/
As well as adding this new 2 hour Meditation Workshop, I will be offering a new 8 week, “8 Limbs of Yoga” workshop at Tri-Yoga. In this workshop you will learn about each of the 8 limbs of yoga, learn how each limb works together to maximize the purification of the nervous system, and how to have a safe and effective at-home practice. Each class includes a lesson in yogic theory as well as a full spectrum of yoga practices. You will learn a traditional, yet extremely effective Hatha yoga posture sequence, 2 different styles of pranayama (breathing exercises), the AYP practice of Deep Meditation and much more. For more information on this workshop please see the “Class Schedules” tab at the top right of this page. To register for this workshop please click this link here:http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studioid=9301&stype=-101&sView=day&sTrn=100000002
Hope to see you soon!
Love!

Hi Friends! 
I’m excited to announce that I will be leading another AYP retreat this year. This one will be in LA (Malibu) November 18th to 20th. This is exciting both for myself and for AYP as California has more yogis/yoginis then all of India (according to a Yoga Journal article earlier this year) and we are anticipating a great response to the introduction of AYP through the retreat format there. If you or someone you know may be interested in attending you can find more info about the retreat and how to register by following this link here: http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9957 The retreat will be at the stunning Serra Retreat Center which is about 45 minutes from LAX. You can check out the center by clicking the link here: http://www.serraretreat.com/ Hope to see many of you there!
Love!

Namaste Friends!
Just thought I would link to a couple of AYP Forum topics with feedback from the recent AYP retreats that Katrine Kristiansen and myself led. These threads will help make it easier to decide whether or not you would want to attend any of the upcoming retreats.
Here is the feedback from the Toronto retreat that happened just last weekend: http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9315#83331
And here is the feedback from the Kripalu retreat that happened in March: http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9455
There is another retreat happening in Toronto this August, one in Pennsylvania in September, and one being scheduled for the first part of November in Los Angeles. The details for these can be found on the “Class Schedules” page.
Hope to see you at a retreat or in the studio someday soon!
Love!

Katrine Kristiansen and I will be leading a 5 day Advanced Yoga Practices (AYP) Meditation Training and Retreat at the Kripalu Retreat Center in the Berkshires of Massachusetts from March 20-25, 2011.
This retreat will include a balanced daily practice of deep meditation, spinal breathing pranayama, and a basic asana routine. Training will be geared toward the needs of the individual and customized to each student’s level of experience. Instructions for establishing a daily home practice will also be provided so that abiding inner silence, creativity, and happiness can continue to expand in all areas of your life even once the retreat has concluded.
Additional info, bios and registration details can be found on the Kripalu website here: http://www.kripalu.org/program/view/DMTR-111/advanced_yoga_practices_deep_meditation_training
Hope to see you there!
