Virtual Meditation & Connection
with Elizabeth Debbie Aiu
Sunday April 5, 2020
6PM EST
Sometimes it's difficult to feel connected to one another while we are so separated. During these challenging times, it's especially important to find ways to connect and to remember that the mind follows the breath and the body. Learning how to remain calm and find ways to wind down and breathe deeply is a useful tool for keeping the body and mind calm, and the immune system strong.
This 30 minute virtual meditation event with Elizabeth will help you shut off the distractions of the outside world and create a place of peace and comfort within, while bringing us all together in one energetic place.
We will explore breathing techniques (pranayama) and mindfulness meditation as tools to work with. We will use guided relaxation(nidra) to invite the mind to find steadiness as the body softens into ease. We will practice breathing techniques that will move your attention into more subtle awareness. The meditation will naturally follow.
Find a quiet space and a comfortable seat, and connect with us from the comfort of your home through a virtual meditation.
No previous yoga practice experience is necessary.

with Eva Montalvo
Saturday May 30th & Sunday May 31st
Investment:
2 Days, 10 CEU's: $295
1 Day, 5 CEU's: $175
Register HERE
This training is designed for yoga teachers and fitness professionals who want to expand their knowledge to teaching students who can benefit from chair-assisted movement. This includes seniors or others with limited mobility - anyone who is not comfortable or able to get up and down from a floor mat. Non-professionals can also learn basics of yogic movement and breathing to use in their personal practice. At the completion of this training you will gain knowledge of chair yoga poses, cueing variations and sequencing, and breathing techniques.
On day 1 we will explore seated poses that address movement of all joints of the body from head to toe, and basic breathing techniques. We will discuss basic anatomy and alignment as affected by aging or illness. A basic seated sun salutation flow template will be provided.
On day 2 we will delve into modifications for various physical conditions and limitations, how to assess when this is needed, and how to teach groups of various levels of mobility. We will explore use of props (blocks, straps, etc.), more complex sequences, standing poses, and balance work. We will also discuss a few aspects of the business of chair yoga: who needs chair yoga, how to start a class in a non-traditional setting, when to incorporate into private client sessions, how payment works, etc.
CEU credits and requirements:
For YA CEU's, you must be at minimum a current Yoga Alliance 200 hour certified teacher in order to receive your additional continuing education contact hours towards your requirements for the Yoga Alliance. The "Certificate of Completion" for the 5 or 10 Hours of continuing education units will also be provided by the lead instructor to non- Yoga Alliance members upon full completion of the course for you to submit for continuing education credits for other organizations that may accept the contact hours.

“It’s impossible” said pride. “It’s risky” said experience. “It’s pointless” said reason. “Give it a try.” whispered the Heart. - Unknown
Yoga is a practice that allows us the opportunity to discover our true nature, that which lies deep within our hearts. Join Elaine to navigate the experience of opening our hearts by exploring backbending postures that literally create space in the physical heart.
During this heart opening workshop, we will discuss the idea of an open heart and what it means. By focusing on the fundamental elements of backbending postures, we will further explore the mechanics of specific postures like cobra, upward dog, camel pose and others. We will then practice a short heart opening flow and end with a heart chakra centered meditation and relaxation.

Semi-Private Assisted Self-Practice
A teacher assisted self-practice is a safe and open space for students to truly explore themselves through the practice of asana. This type of class allows for an environment in which one-one instruction can co-exist with a group dynamic. Students are encouraged to work in relationship with the teacher, at their own pace with personal guidance and hands-on assistance with consent. Using the series of Ashtanga yoga as foundation, this is the perfect place for beginners to access personalized yoga instruction as well as a great way to kick off a personal home practice. In addition, this monthly-3 day offering is an excellent compliment to those who are already home practitioners and seek the guidance of a teacher to enhance their daily practice. This weekend intensive offers a great opportunity for practitioners to deepen, expand and “tune-up” their practice. These classes are meant for ALL levels of practitioners.
In order to make this an intimate and focused experience, the classes are limited to only 10 practitioners.
Class structure:
6:00 am -6:30 am Nada Yoga and Pranayama (chanting and breath practice) - please note students may choose to practice asana during this time.
6:30 am - 8:00 am Assisted self practice (asana)
A Student Centered Approach to Yoga
Leena yoga strongly believes that only through student empowerment can the process of yoga be truly successful. A regular, holistic yoga practice can have a significant impact on a student’s health and wellbeing. The purpose of yoga is self-discovery. An assisted self-practice provides students with the opportunity to embark on the self-discovery journey in a safe and supported environment.
The use of consent cards: consent cards allow the student full and complete control of how their practice is assisted in the practice room. Students are encouraged to use these cards to self-reflect on what assistance is needed (physical or verbal) according to the particular day and time of practice. Consent is never implied. It must be affirmative, informed and ongoing.

- The series of Ashtanga Yoga is the foundation for an assisted self-practice, students may be working on primary, intermediate or advanced series, and the teacher is there to support student choices around their practice.
- Practice time will vary by practitioner. During this window some may practice for 30 to 45 minutes while others may need to practice for the entire window of time
- Students are encouraged to use consent cards provided in order to provide affirmative and implicit consent to assists from the teacher (see more on this below)
- The Nada & Pranayama session is optional, practitioners may choose to practice asana during this time

Each new day, we are provided with an opportunity to investigate what internally and externally binds us. Yoga is a practice in self-inquiry that allows us to discover the obstacles that stand in the way of seeing our true selves. Join Amy Lucky and Elaine Gallagher to bravely navigate the depths of asana, pranayama, and meditation. What can be revealed? Bring a journal and pen. These workshops are suitable for practitioners of all levels.
Unravel and Receive: Asana 1-3 pm $50
What is the purpose of obstacles in our practice and in our lives? The bound twists and arm balances of yoga teach us to utilize a deep internal connection to open the receptive space of the heart. These postures can feel like insurmountable obstacles until we are guided towards the anatomical and energetic keys to finding a connection into ourselves. In this asana-based workshop, we prepare the body to become receptive to the supportive and accessible seated bound twists, such as Marichyasana C and Ardha Matsyendrasana. We will discover what is necessary in the less-accessible postures such as Pasasana (noose-pose) and Astavakrasana (eight-angled arm balance). Through practice, philosophy and myth, we can unravel the confusion and open to insight.
Renew and Return: Meditation & Pranayama 3:30-5 pm $50
Have you been called to return to the subtle practices that heal and renew the body and mind? In this workshop we will clear the path to stillness. Using a pranayama practice to transform the life force in the body, we will return to mental clarity and physical vitality. The breath is a chariot for energy and when we turn breath into sound through chanting, our experience of self-connection becomes even more powerful. We will chant a mantra to Ganesh, the elephant deity known to remove obstacles to the realization of our connection and wholeness. A meditation practice flows naturally from this work and allows us to sit with the sensations of being intensely alive yet quiet and still. A first-hand experience of compassionate awareness is the essential ground for renewal.
Both sessions: $80
About Amy & Elaine
Amy Lucky and Elaine Gallagher have been working together for the last year as students of Ashtanga University and apprentices of Greg Nardi and Amanda Palermo. They have connected as students and teachers of the yoga practice. Together they hold graceful space for students and have found a deep connection and synchronicity on how they offer yoga.

We’d like to welcome Heidi Rocke to the Open Heart Yoga Studio family
Heidi has been studying the dynamics of movement from very young. She began training as a dancer at 5 and began riding at age 6. She studied at the Humphrey Dance Center in New York and then moved to Florida to compete in equestrian events as a Junior. After graduating from New York University with a Bachelor's in Journalism she went to work starting, conditioning, training and exercising Hunters and Jumpers, ponies, even starting thoroughbred yearlings for racing.
It was during her Master’s study of Oriental Medicine/Acupuncture in 2005 that Heidi found Yoga and the true direction of her path developed. She got her Yoga Alliance Teacher Training in 2006 and has developed Dynamic Integration Technique; a somatic approach to balancing and recalibrating the body.
With 14 years of experience working with group and private clients, Heidi has a reputation for bringing the most out of everyone she works with. She is able to express her deep understanding of the body and the dynamics of movement with vivid imagery and progressive exercises.

We’d like to welcome Brett Coppol to the Open Heart Yoga Studio family !
We are so fortunate to have him at our studio to share his energy and enthusiasm for the practice. After discovering the practice in his mid 30's, Brett had no doubt that yoga would be a part of his life forever. In his classes, Brett challenges his students to grow through meeting their physical edge with friendliness. He teaches the practice of listening, both to the body, mind, and most importantly each inhale and exhale. He is dedicated to the growth and development of his students, both on and off their mats, and believes yoga begins when you leave the studio.
Brett will be teaching the following classes, starting December 2nd:
Mondays, 7PM Vinyasa
Wednesdays, 5:30PM Vinyasa & 7PM Slow Flow
