About the studio

Nestled in San Francisco's iconic Haight Ashbury neighborhood is Yoga Tree Stanyan. This studio is where Yoga Tree began as a tiny acorn! Yet even in the early days people were drawn to warmth and safety of this cozy space. Whether you find your way to this studio for a sweaty flow class, a meditative restorative practice or a grounding hatha yoga experience, the large ceiling length curtains close off the outside world making it the perfect pace to explore the depths of your mind, body and spirit. Soothing clouds surround you on every wall and the softly lit room is accented by scores of candles.

The studio is a short walk from Golden Gate Parks legendary 'Hippy Hill' where the sounds of drumming will often follow students into class. A number of renowned restaurants and health food stores are also within walking distance enabling hungry yogis to nourish themselves after a vigorous practice.

The Yoga of Mysticism & Ritual by Dana Damara & Mark Morford Mysticism: The belief that everything you think you know is but a shy fragment of a slim possibility. In other words: There’s a vast ocean of spiritual information inaccessible to the intellect (and the fickle senses), and only through contemplation and self-surrender can you truly attain complete union with/absorption into the Divine. I mean, obviously. Ritual: A regular, dedicated series of ceremonial actions performed according to a prescribed order, giving shape and meaning to the madcap illusion of life. The glue in your divine scrapbook, the meat in your sacred burrito, the rubber on the road of the spiritual path. Join two of the West Coast’s most esteemed, powerhouse yogis, Mark Morford and Dana Damara, for insight (and a sneak preview of our upcoming 2019 Bali retreat) into what life looks like with dedicated yogic ritual and practice. Learn simple techniques that you can incorporate into your daily life that will support your “mystical” connection to Source, God, Soul, Universe, the Absolute… whatever you call that essential life force (prana) that lives inside/courses through you. Simply put, the sooner you begin to align with Truth as often as possible, the sooner you live a life that is actually your own. This workshop will include: • Meditation, pranayama (breathwork) and a powerful vinyasa class • A quick dive into mantra and how to use your mala beads as tools of prayer • Techniques on developing and maintaining a personal practice • Essential elements of a morning ritual; saving graces for evening ritual • The power of crystals to heal and ground • Intro to journaling and how to align with lunar cycles • Yoga Nidra to close the workshop The Yoga of Mysticism & Ritual Dana Damara & Mark Morford Saturday, December 1 12-6 pm Yoga Tree Potrero, 1500 16th St. (415) 655-3936 $108 This course qualifies for credit in the Yoga Tree Continuing Education Program.
