NEW WORKSHOPS FOR 2010
Professional Adjustment Intensive
A Hands-on Adjustment Workshop with Ted Lafferty
Continuing Education for Yoga Teachers & Advancing Students
Session 1: Monday 25th January 5:30-7:00pm
Session 2: Thursday February 4, 6:30-8:30pm
Session 3: Thursday February 11, 6:00-8:30pm
Session 4: Thursday February 18, 6:30-8:30pm
What makes a good teacher? What makes a good teacher a *great* teacher? Touch is a powerful thing, and a good yoga adjustment is a key way for a teacher to aid students in going much deeper into a their practice than they could do on their own. A good adjustment will build trust for the teacher and for the practice as a whole.
A good in-class adjustment and the personal attention it provides brings a greater level of awareness, safety and opening of the physical and subtle body. Adjustments are a powerful way to deepen both the outer and inner practice of yoga.
In this in-depth workshop we will look at the “full adjustment” from observation to touch. Students will not only learn important adjustments for any class, but also the principles behind offering a powerful, professional adjustment in any pose.

Self-Defense & Energy Skills Workshop: Harnessing the Power of Ki
with Shogo Oketani, Karate Buff and Gentleman
Saturday June 12, 5:00pm-8:00pm at Sun and Moon Yoga
Using The Power of Ki
Ki (氣) is the life-force energy of the cosmos that also exists within each of us. We have a power source or life center in the body called the “dantien” (Japanese: tanden) located at the hara, three finger-widths beneath the belly button. In Japan there is an _expression, “Put your power in the Sokka Tanden (under the belly button).” This means to gain equanimity and composure by focusing your energy on this point. When we integrate the energy of the dantien using special breathing, we can manifest our potential power. This power is called ki. The power of ki is the cornerstone of martial arts, and will be the focus of this course on energy awareness, energy building, energy use, and self-defense.
