MELT FOR BEGINNERSHosted by Christine Taylor  Learn a simple, self-care solution that anyone, at any age, can use to help reduce or avoid chronic pain symptoms, plus improve balance and alignment. Gain an understanding of the primary cause of pain and the missing link that diet and exercise don’t address.
New science has taught us that repetitive strain/overuse and what we attribute to “aging”, relates to the function and hydration of the neuro-fascial system (nervous system and connective tissue). Using special soft memory foam rollers and small MELT Hand & Foot balls you’ll experience how the MELT Method, also known as Hands-off Bodywork® initiates real change in the connective tissue.  Saturday, Feb. 29 1:00-2:30pm Pacific Ashtanga Yoga Shala #205 Price: $20 (cash only) RSVP: (949) 338-3139 or ctaylormail@cox.net About Christine E.

Weekly Words 2.16.20 Last week we discussed watching our thought patterns and feeling patterns the way we watch the weather. We are continuing to dive deeper into Jack Kornfield’s book, “The Wise Heart,” and are invited to revisit “Buddha’s Brain,” by Rick Hanson, as we consider the impacts of stress and anxiety in our daily lives.
Look at sections of your life and identify the moods, thinking, and feelings associated with them. Consider what you are holding in your tissue, in your body. We service all three bodies through our 2-hour yoga practice so that we may live fully the other 22 hours of our lives. This week we are invited to ask ourselves: What do we let change our “weather”? Just notice. Be the observer. Remember that we have the keys. We have the ability to see the weather brewing, and we have the ability to choose how to respond. As Jack Kornfield reminds us: “In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go” ― Jack Kornfield 2/15/2020

INTENTIONAL STRENGTH FOR MOON DAYS
Hosted by Valerie Hedlund
Let Val lead you on a journey of strength with intention. The way we train with kettlebells will allow you to train efficiently, getting the most work done in the shortest amount of time without damaging your muscles and hurting your practice.
February’s Intentional Strength for Moon Days classes will be held at Pacific Ashtanga Yoga Shala! Saturday, February 8th at 9:30am and Sunday, February 23rd at 9am. And because we’ll be at the Shala, we’ll focus on what people consider the “Yoga of Kettlebells”, the Turkish Getup. The Getup is a movement that allows you to get up off the floor holding a weight. While simple in explanation, this fluid movement is great for shoulders, hips, abs, and backs - it works on mobility, stability, and strength at many different angles. Come learn with Val on your Ashtanga rest day. We’ll decide which kettlebells you’ll need for your home practice, and we’ll send you on your way with the tools you need to be stronger for your practice and for life!
Saturday, February 8 at 9:30am
or Sunday, February 23 at 9am at Pacific Ashtanga Yoga Shala #205 Price: $25 RSVP requested - on the schedule at pacstrength.zenplanner.com Contact: 949-291-6093 or valerie@pacstrength.com 2/5/2020
Weekly Words 2.2.20 “And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.” ~ Kahlil Gibran This week, using your prana energy glasses, see the Buddhist “healthy factors” as having an energetic value, love, generosity and mindfulness. How can they direct your course? |
