Wake up and Manifest Your Resplendent Life!
by
Brenna Geehan + Jean Mazzei
“You can’t always get what you want.”
Or can you?
In this training we discuss the four states of consciousness: Awake, Dreaming, Deep Sleep and Turiya. By transcending Ego and limiting beliefs, you transcend your story and begin to live a life of resplendence right here, right now! Investigate how the mind works, storyboarding the movie of your life. Unearth the parts of us that sabotage (vikalpas) and learn how you can replace those parts with your heart’s desire (sankalpa). Experience technologies such as Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) and why they are powerful tools in helping you manifest your more expanded reality, as well tools to help you reduce stress and gain clarity. Learn to walk your talk and take your yoga off the mat in a practical and realistic, resplendent way.
Topics include:
o How to manifest your intentions and break the cycle of self sabotage
o Karma and transcending your “story, aka “ego”
o The art of sankalpa/vikalpa: intention and manifestation o Yoga Nidra, lucid dreaming, and the unconscious mind o Discover your dharma—your life’s purpose o Understand siddhis (fruit of your practice) and their application| Required ReadingYoga Nidra, Swami Satyananda Saraswati Yoga Nidra, Richard Miller The Path of Fire and Light, Volume 2, Swami Rama Suggested ReadingThe Four Desires (and supplemental CD), Rod Stryker Finding the Hidden Self (Shiva Sutras), Roger Worthington, PhD This course qualifies for credit in the Yoga Tree Continuing Education Program.Wake up and Manifest Your Resplendent Life!

The Yoga of Awakening
by
Rod Stryker
 Yogarupa Rod Stryker returns to Yoga Tree to lead a ParaYoga weekend on "The Yoga of Awakening." Throughout the weekend, Yogarupa will focus lectures and practices on the sacred scripture, The Yoga Taravali, which T. Krishnamacharya described as “one of the best poems on the message of yoga.” Written in the 8th century by the great sage, Shankara, the text outlines a systematic approach to scaling the heights of yoga practice. Hallmarks of that system—asana, bandha, pranayama, kriya, meditation, yoga nidra, transcendence—are all described. Through discourse and practices, Yogarupa will highlight parts of the text that lead to the final culmination of yoga. Each day will build on the next in order to elevate your practice and understanding of the science of yoga and tantra. Practices are designed to enliven your connection to prana (life force). Dharma talks will help transform how you see the terrain of practice, yourself and your life. Each session will weave practices together that illumine the terrain of understanding how to see your practice, self, and capacity in the world from the exalted seat of these teachings. All levels welcome. Saturday, November 23 The Prana of Yoga that Leads to the Heart Sunday, November 24 Awakening to Self Both days include: o Asana o Pranayama o Meditation o Dharma Talks o Q&A

Thanksgiving Day Yoga
by
Pete & Stephanie Guinosso
 "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
—Albert Schweitzer
Practicing gratitude will guide you in exploring the powerful practice of mindful appreciation, and how such a practice can open you to a life of grace. In this workshop, we will use yoga as a mechanism to explore the transformative emotion of gratitude while utilizing deep hip releases to detoxify the mind-body of negative emotions. We will explore heart opening backbends to feel where joy and gratitude reside in our bodies. Recognizing all the gifts we have and being open to sharing those gifts with the people around us; our friends, family neighbors, the stranger on the street, is one of the obligations of our spiritual path.
At the end of this workshop, you will have a platform from which to explore this sense of gratitude in your daily life, helping you to connect into the abundance that is available to you in your relationships, and in the world.
Please bring:
o Yoga mat
o Hand towel
o Paper/journal and pencil
All levels are welcome; however, having sun salutation experience will be helpful (10 + classes). 1.5 hour asana practice + - 0.5 hours of journaling = 2 hours total.

"Teach yoga: Light the path to the wisdom in your heart!" Stephanie Guinosso discovered yoga following a knee injury playing college basketball in 1998. After pursuing traditional rehabilitation that did not lead to a full recovery, she tried yoga as a last resort. Yoga helped to break up the scar tissue, increase strength and flexibility, and ultimately heal the injury. She has been practicing yoga ever since!
