Sat Sanga

Sunday, May 18th, 6:30-8pm

Sat Sanga is a Sanskrit word that can be translated as "in the company of saints". If you're a saint, or just working to be more saintly, join us at our next meeting! The Sat Sanga is an opportunity for yoga teachers and yoga students to meet, talk and provide spiritual support to one another. We'll start with an open practice and end with a discussion on how to bring yoga "off the mat and into our lives".

 

Chakra Workshop with Kendell Romanelli

Sunday, May 18th, 2-4:15pm, $25
Squirrel Hill location

Energizing Your Truth
This workshop is designed to open the Solar Plexus, Heart and Throat Chakras. When these three chakras are not in balance we can feel a lack of confidence and energy, we are filled with fear and doubt, and are not able to speak clearly. If the Solar Plexus Chakra is overactive we may experience a lot of anger and frustration. Too much Heart Chakra can make you overly-sensitive, while a person with an abundance of Throat chakra talks too much. These blocks can affect the physical body manifesting as indigestion, heart burn, high blood pressure, and tightness in the shoulders and neck.
In this workshop we will cleanse the body of anger, fear and frustration by moving through a vinyasa filled with twists and heart openers, releasing the shoulders so we can "fly". It will include some fun and energizing Kundalini exercises to calm the flame of the Solar Plexus to support the Heart and Throat chakras opening us to love, forgiveness and truth. We will close class with a beautiful healing meditation on the heart. You will leave class with a sense of open calm and a loving freedom. This class is great for all levels, but some yoga experience is required.

Meditation, Pranayama and Relaxation
with Joni Sturgill

Sunday, June 1st, 6-8:15pm, $25
Squirrel Hill location

Meditation is a way to access your inner self by quieting your busy mind and focusing your awareness on the present moment. Meditation can lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, improve muscle response time, relax the diaphragm and internal organs, increase breathing efficiency and lung capacity, reduce anxiety and stress, and increase recognition of compulsive behavior patterns.

In these classes, we'll warm up with a few minutes of gentle yoga, then practice several different meditation and breath techniques (with stretching breaks in between). Class will end with Yoga Nidra, a deep guided relaxation. Whether you're new to meditation or experienced, join us and enjoy the positive energy and feeling of community when we meditate together.
