saturday, july 12 - 10:00-5/6:00pm -------- $120.00 early bird registration by 7/2/08 ------ $150, thereafter - 25 spaces available
Join Samantha Shakti-Brown (Matthews) of the Shakti Yoga Shala http://www.shaktiyogashala.com for a day long yogic adventure to the Santa Cruz Mountains! Shakti Yoga Shala is nestled in the picturesque hillside of Big Basin Vineyards http://www.bigbasinvineyards.com .
The day will begin with an invigorating, dynamic Anusara Yoga. This practice will focus on the theme of tapas -- the Sanskrit word for fire. it is challenging sequence focusing on the four flexions of the spine for detoxification and clarity. You will learn how to align yourself safely through moving your spine forward, backward and from side-to-side -- in standing & seated postures, inversions and twists. Anusara is a style of yoga that aligns one physically with the power of strength & softness bringing one deeply to the heart center. From the heart, we have an opportunity to express ourselves fully from the authenticity of our own truth. “Anusara” is the Sanskrit word for flowing with grace.
Following class, we will have a picnic on the beautiful Big Basin Vineyards grounds (please bring a lunch). After lunch, we will take a 1-1/2 hour hike along Eagle Rock Trail in Big Basin Redwood State Park. The elevation gain is approximately 2,400 feet - if you love nature and panoramic views of the tree tops and the Pacific Ocean, this hike is for YOU!
Afterwards, we’ll gather back at the studio to soothe the soul, muscles and mind through a dreamy and ultra relaxing hour restorative yoga practice. All poses will be conducted on the floor with props, cool music, gentle hands-on healing and massage.
This field trip will leave you feeling connected with nature, thoroughly refreshed, inspired and completely invigorated!
