Women of the Moon + Men of the Sun
by
Liya Garber
These workshops are for women and men with the intention to create equilibrium within ourselves. Our life challenges and attraction of obstacles stem from a lack of belief that we can harness our own internal vibration as a whole masculine and a whole feminine. In these workshops, we will call in the healing of the divine whole masculine and whole feminine inside each of us, so we can manifest and co-create a reality that is more vibrant, healing, and holistic. In these workshops, we will experience the teachings of Kundalini Yoga for masculine and feminine energies and identities from Yogi Bhajan. We will invoke the Aquarian Feminine, which is courageous, powerful, conscious, successful, and vital, and the Aquarian Masculine, which is conscious with its words, kind, generous, and full of love. It is about internal vibration, no matter what gender we are or what background we are from. Through the diversity of human expression and human experience, we will come to equilibrium with the cosmic energies inside us all so they may work for us, not against us, as we live our mission on the planet.

Desire and a New Resolution
by
Jason Bowman
The most confounding paradox at the heart of a practice full of paradoxes: change only happens when you stop needing it to happen. Love, success, meaning, freedom—all are at the core of human desire, none come easily to grasping hands.
The litany of yogic texts provide an important context to our odd and lovely annual practice of resolution: a) desire leads to suffering; b) desire is full of energy. Both are important to understand.
On the first morning of 2020, we will examine the meeting point between taking action and letting things be, and then move around on sticky mats in a toasty room for a while. It’ll really be something!
Desire and a New Resolution Jason Bowman January 1 Wednesday | 9-11 am $40
Yoga Tree Castro, 97 Collingwood St. (415) 701-9642
