Join Us For A Good Laugh!

We are so thrilled to present the first of our Monthly Teleconference Series – Intentional Laughter: Stress Reduction Secrets. (Please note that this is not the same as our six-part Workshop Series on Intuition that has already begun.)

Through the many requests we received during our recent survey, we are honoured to invite Jill and Dan Johnson to bring Laughter Yoga to our YogaHub community.

Jill and Dan will be conducting this workshop on May 27th, from 5 pm to 6:30 pm (PST) on the benefits of Laughter Yoga. You will be able to experience a 90-minute workshop of this wonderful therapeutic form of Yoga. For those of you who are not into the physical asanas, here is another wonderful form that I encourage you to participate in.

Who doesn't enjoy a good laugh? Did you know that this form of Yoga has incredible therapeutic value? Why not experience having a good laugh - just for the fun of it?

Namaste,
Christina

Yoga Nidra – To Melt into a Puddle?

When did relaxation become a guilty pleasure? These days, most of us live stressful, busy lives that take a lot out of us and compromise our mental and physical health, whether or not we choose to acknowledge this.

Most of us juggle many “balls” in the air - work deadlines, household chores, caring for our spouses, our children, our extended families and friends... We are constantly balancing on the tightrope of our lives, convinced that if we “drop the ball”, it will result in unmitigated disaster.

Is it any wonder that most illnesses today are stress related? Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to just let go of all those anxieties and just relax – without feeling guilty about it?

Yoga Nidra will enable you to turn this dream into a reality. This gentle, healing form of yoga is one that everyone should do. Although Yoga Nidra is often known as a meditation and relaxation practice, it is far more than that. When practiced properly and regularly, it is a restful and restorative practice that can heal one's body, mind and spirit.

Recently, YogaHub was fortunate enough to be able to interview Jennifer Reis, an expert practitioner and teacher of Yoga Nidra. Jennifer is an E-RYT 500 Senior Kripalu Yoga Teacher, Yoga Therapist, Licensed Massage Therapist, Shiatsu and Ayurvedic Therapist who has been teaching workshops on Yoga Nidra for many years. As she explains, “Yoga Nidra is the ability to turn inward to rest and heal yourself. The healing practice of Yoga Nidra relieves stress patterns by re-training the nervous system to relax, thereby gently leading individuals to a place of healing and inner peace”.

This month Jennifer will be offering a professional training workshop: Yoga Nidra Teacher Training: Melt Them into Puddles at Kripalu from May 16th to May 21st.

In addition to this teacher training course, Jennifer also teaches other workshops throughout the year, which we will keep you posted on. One of these workshops is “Deep Relaxation Guided Yoga Nidra”, where Jennifer will teach relaxation techniques that will guide individuals out of their chaotic and stressful lives to a place of healing and inner peace, thereby allowing them to reconnect with themselves.

In addition to her Yoga Nidra workshop, Jennifer offers two Yoga Nidra CDs, Deep Relaxation and Guided Relaxation, which in 2009 were the two top selling CDs at the Kripalu Center, where Jennifer is on the faculty.

A Heightened Sense of Our Intuition

Intuition, Your Inner Tutor with Anatara Buckley continues to be an exciting series. Individuals are fascinated as they become conscious of this amazing tool that each of us is innately born with. Anatara takes us through stages of awareness to help us create our own method of understanding and listening to this inner voice.

Even though the series has begun, participants continue to join as there are still three more live workshops to go, including a one-month follow up Online Discussion Group. Also, all the sessions are recorded for convenience so that individuals will be able to listen to them over and over again, gaining new perspectives each time.

For the Woman Who Had No Support by Megan McDonough

Yesterday I walked to Barre — a town about 10 miles from my house. I wore a bright pink shirt that read “for the woman who had no support.” The shirt’s message gave me a boost. It was the reason I had decided to take a sunny day and spend most of it walking to get no place in particular. Continue Reading...

Madness before Magic by Christina Souza Ma

Oh, the joys of a vacation. It has been so long – exactly 3-1/2 years – since my last vacation. I am so looking forward to being on the high seas with my family. No work, no cooking, no grocery shopping, and (hopefully) no worries. Internet is still not really affordable unless it is an emergency so there is no excuse to even go online. Continue Reading...
