Finding Your Inner Drishti
by
Martin Scott
Where the gaze is directed, the attention naturally follows. So turn the attention inwards and follow the path to your soul. We often look to the outside world to help us become more centered and to find balance. We use our eyes to find our drishti in our asana practice which helps us to become centered and focused. What if we could find this focus within? In this workshop will we will use mantra and pranayama to prepare us to do our asana practice with the eyes closed, finding this inner sight to achieve balance and connect to the self on a deeper level.

Balancing the Seasonal Body for Autumn
by
Sheana O'Sullivan
Immerse yourself into a deeply nourishing and grounding experience to create harmony with the earth’s cycles and your own.
In Chinese medicine, autumn is a time to harvest our energies after the summer growth cycle. It's time to take time to pause, reflect, and connect with the intuitive "feeling" parts of ourselves, and honor our inherent need to slow down and be still.
Hematite stones will be incorporated to reconnect you with the energy of the earth, allowing you to shift from a state of overwhelm and anxiety to one of calm and balance.
This workshop will include:
• Yin yoga to stimulate the physical organs of the body, especially the lung + large intestine which are the organs related to autumn.
• Jin Shin Jyutsu, a subtle body self-healing modality to support the release of energetic blockages.
• Guided pranayama (breathwork), meditation, + visualizations.
• Restorative yoga to allow the body to metabolize the benefits of this deep practice

The Art and Practice of Kirtan
by
Jai Uttal
Kirtan is singing over and over the many names of God and the Goddess, the multi-colored rainbow manifestations of the One. It is said that there is no difference between the name and that which is being named, and as the words roll off our lips in song, the Infinite is invoked, invited, made manifest in our hearts.
Join Jai for an afternoon deep dive into the art and practice of chanting. From Jai: “These ancient chants contain a transformative power and healing energy. By singing these prayers we join a stream of consciousness and devotion that has been flowing for centuries."
Kirtan is part of an ancient form of Yoga known as Bhakti, or the Yoga of Devotion. But in Bhakti we redefine “devotion.” We expand the meaning to include every shade of color in the palette of human emotion, turned towards God through song, dance, and worship. We will explore:
o A brief history of kirtan that will anchor you in the foundation of this ancient practice.
o The vessel of the mantras as a transporting experience.
o The practice of kirtan as a purifying opening.
o Chants to inspire you in your daily life & support you in feeling connected to the Divine. The Art and Practice of Kirtan Jai Uttal

Trauma-Informed Yoga Intensive
by
Hala Khouri + Kyra Haglund
This 5-day training is designed to offer a physiological framework of shock and complex trauma and how they manifest in the body and mind. It includes a Foundations module and a Social Justice & Embodiment Module. We will give you tools from the growing field of trauma research, yoga, and mindfulness to manage and even resolve symptoms of trauma. Our goal is to equip yoga teachers to teach to students with trauma, and to offer tools to those working with those with trauma in other capacities. Anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship stress, and health issues are often the result of unresolved trauma. The goal of a trauma-informed yoga practice is to build resiliency and establish greater self-regulation. It is about feeling safe and at home in our bodies so that we can feel stable, have good self-esteem, and healthy relationships. A trauma-informed yoga practice is sensitive to the needs of a participant with trauma symptoms, and offers them tools to feel safe, empowered and self-regulated. The Foundations Module provides an integrative framework for understanding how complex trauma and chronic stress impact the body and mind while also focusing on the ancient practices of yoga and somatic meditation and their ability to reduce Post Traumatic Stress symptoms and increase a greater sense of well-being. It equips students with relevant theory, tools, and in-person practice to better support trauma survivors as they befriend their bodies and reclaim a sense of safety and empowerment in their lives. The Social Justice & Embodiment Module explores the intersection of trauma and social justice while focusing on inclusivity as an approach. It provides a somatic and socio-political framework of personal, interpersonal, and systemic trauma and how these patterns manifest in individuals, their communities, ourselves, and our teaching. It also investigates the link between personal trauma and institutionalized and normalized systems of oppression and marginalization, including issues at the forefront of social justice such as poverty, racism, ableism, sexism and homophobia. This training is for yoga teachers who would like to work with individuals or communities with trauma. It is also for clinicians, social workers, medical personnel, or anyone else who would like to integrate basic yoga tools into their work to support greater health and well-being. This 40-hour training covers the following essential information for teaching trauma-informed yoga: o Shock, Developmental, Complex, and Collective trauma o The Stress Response and the Nervous System o Somatic Therapy Tools for Resourcing and Discharge o Yoga Postures, Breathing Techniques, and Meditations for Self-Regulation o Trauma-Informed Cueing and Sequencing o Practice Teaching o Social Justice Basics o Self-awareness (how our personal experiences inform our work) o Vicarious Trauma and Self-Care ScholarshipsSome scholarships are available for those in financial need. Applications are reviewed 2 months before a training and monthly until the start of a training. Recipients will be notified directly.

Preksha: Clear Seeing, Adjusting and Activating | SmartFLOW Advanced Teaching Skills
by
Annie Carpenter
 Preksha is a beautiful Sanskrit word that means "seeing, beholding, reflecting." In this advanced module we will explore ways of seeing clearly: Our own practice and lives, and the practices of our students. We will seek out blockages and patterns and look to create clarity and fluidity. Much of this training will be on gaining skills at seeing your students clearly both physically and in all three planes of motion. And also skillfully seeing the flow of prana, and seeking out and clearing blockages that may be present. With this clarity, both clear cueing and hands-on adjustments can be created for the student. Additionally, you’ll learn to create action plans that will inform and inspire your students to see themselves clearly, with patience and light. o Assess: See where you and your students have patterns of holding, blockage and avoidance o Assist: Make hands-on-adjustments & modifications to poses and the practice as a whole o Activate: Form and inspire clear intentions and practice plans for you and your students Morning practices will be strong and highly specific. Afternoons will be labs of assessing and learning new hands-on adjustments, as well as building action plans for releasing habitual patterns. “Everything is magical when you see it with your heart.”

Opening the 10th Gate: An Equinox Kundalini Yoga Activation
by
Jai Dev Singh
On the equinox, when the light of day and the dark of the night are equalized, a special 'window' opens up. It is a moment in time that is ideal for deep meditation, for cultivating clarity, intuitive power, and heightened energy. The pineal gland is the access point to what the yogis call the "10th gate, a gateway to the flow of heightened consciousness. Under normal circumstances, this 10th gate remains sealed. Through ancient yogic technology, the life-force in the body can be awakened, the 10th gate unseals, and a beautiful flow of love-intelligence can be experienced through your own body and mind. Yogis have understood this mystical science for thousands of years. Throughout history, it has been kept 'hidden' as esoteric knowledge. In our current age, it is important that these 'hidden secrets' are demystified and made available to the people.
In this special Bay Area equinox workshop, you'll experience the invigorating yogic exercises, ancient teachings, and transporting meditations to activate your body’s life-force and plug into your source of deep purpose. Opening the 10th Gate: An Equinox Kundalini Yoga Activation Jai Dev Singh
