Yoga Workshop 30 sep-5 okt 2011
Ron Reid is the Co owner and Director of Downward Dog Yoga Studio in Toronto, and one of Canadas top yoga teachers. He has been practicing yoga for 25 years and teaching since 1989. He has continued his study of the ashtanga system since 95 with Sri.K.Pattabhi Jois both in India and North America. His approach is inspired, informal and non-dogmatic, placing the needs of the student ahead of the demands of the practise. He endeavours to blend tradition with innovation and to balance precision with grace. He is a highly accomplished musician and thus bridges Hatha Yoga and Nada Yoga (the Yoga of Sound) effortlessly. He composes and performs music for chanting and yoga with his partner Meenakshi under the name of SWAHA.
Marla Meenakshi Joy travelled to India in 1988 to study meditation and the philosophy of the Vedas with Swami Shyam . Her first experience of chanting was during this time. Her background was in the performing arts, but her Bhakti (devotion) for God came through her experiences of meditation and chanting. She recorded her first CD of Sanskrit chants in India in July 2000 entitled "Prayers". Since then she has been leading Kirtan, chanting workshops and classes, meditation, yoga philosophy, sankskrit and Ashtanga Yoga in Canada and the U.S.

16.00-19.00 Finding symmetry
Asymmetrical poses, as found in the Ashtanga Primary series, can easily lead us astray and challenge us to find our way back to the middle. The health of our sacrum and sacroiliac joint requires that the asymmetry be isolated in the limbs and away from the spine. Bringing symmetry back into the asymmetry liberates us from unnecessary back pain!!!

12.00- 15.00 Energize - arm balances
Arm balances help us to develop the strength, stamina and focus to truly energize our practice. By embracing the practice of the more exhilirating arm balances (such as handstands and forearm balances) we will feel a shift towards a stronger, healthier, more confident and a more stable experience in our yogapractice.
16.30-18.30 Bound - the energetic effects of binding poses
Ultimately our exploration of the physical in Yoga is to prepare the way for an energetic transformation that takes place over time and with a great deal of intelligent preparation.
This workshop will begin with hip-opening techniques, including preparations and modifications for half-lotus and full lotus (Padmasana) and also containing the “binds” or energetic seals, plus options to binding that still maintain the energetic mudra’s.

12.00-15.00 Freeing the energy body
This workshop focuses on improving skills to "bend without breaking" in order to balance and liberate the energetic body. Finding core strength in backbends as well as opening the hips for leg behind the head poses, we balance strength and flexibility, and steadiness with freedom.

Saraswati Sadhana Chanting Workshop with Marla Meenakshi Joy
This workshop is designed to ignite the creative juices and hone in on our ability to communicate from our highest Truth, and move freely and gracefully in our lives!
We will learn the sanskrit prononciation of a long prayer to Saraswati devi, as well as a shorter mantra to bring in her shakti (power) and symbolism to inspire our hearts and mind to create!
With an outline of the sadhana or practice that can be useful with these short “beeja” or seed mantra's as well, we will learn both of these powerful mantra’s with or without accompaniment of the shruti box! If you dont have a shruti box, no worries, and you can come and learn and sing anyways!
