Sunday December 7, 2009 Give yourself a Holiday treat with a Chakras Yoga Intensive. Chakras are powerful energy centers in the body, aligned with specific emotions and body parts. We sometimes create physical and emotional blocks in these centers, closing ourselves off from feeling fully alive. Chakras Yoga Intensive can access and open these centers. Through a combination of pranayama, asanas, mudras and meditation, you will achieve a higher level of awareness of your body’s energy system, while experiencing a complete workout of the mind, body and soul.

Kundalini yoga kriya followed with deep relaxation and gong. Beginners are always welcome.

Sunday's early morning Aquarian SunSadhana in the ambrosial hours as given by Yogi Bhajan. Begins with recitation of Japji, followed by a kriya and then chanting of seven specific mantras. There is no charge for this event but donations are accepted and will go toward the Yogi Bhajan Library of Teachings at KRI.

ABOUT THE YOGA Discover a stress-free way of practicing where the connection between the earth and your body becomes the central focus. In an effortless dance of gravity and breath, we awaken to the intelligence of the body. This is a creative approach to the classical yoga tradition. The emphasis is on understanding a way of practicing that applies to all positions and daily living. In settling down into a comfortable way of being, the yoga is reveled.
