Flow Yoga Workshop with Stephanie Keach
Register
and Pay Now! Cost is $55. Open to all.
2:00-6:00
We will be combining Flow Yoga with deep meditation
and pranayama so don’t think all four hours
will be asana! With alignment insights, partner
Yoga, restorative poses, fun balances and inversions,
we can challenge and stimulate our edge.
Flow Yoga is about linking the breath with the pose
as we flow from pose to pose in a smooth, easy manner.
Like Meditation in Motion. And on a deeper level,
as we start to release our resistance and shed
our layers of tension, a part of us begins to open
up and flow with the present moment. Going with
the flow of the moment, we become the Flow itself
and a great sense of peace can be found.
Stephanie Keach has been teaching Flow Yoga since
1988. In recent years she has produced the Flow
Yoga Video Series and The Yoga Handbook. Stephanie
co-owns the Asheville Yoga Center with her husband
and is the director of the Asheville Yoga Center’s
Teacher Training and Certification programs. She
also teaches Yoga workshops and teacher training
intensives in the South East.
Stephanie brought Flow Yoga to Asheville and has
trained many of this regions Yoga teachers. Originally
from Santa Barbara, CA, she has studied with the
finest Yogis out West, including intensive study
with Erich Schiffmann, Rodney Yee and Bryan Kest.
Her Zen-Buddhist background brings a meditative
and compassionate style to her class.

Originating from two classical Hatha Yoga textbooks, David will guide us through Energetic Anatomy and Kriyas in Yoga from the Shatkarmas. This weekend will include kriyas and satkarmas (cleansing practices) such as trataka, nadi sodhana, khechari mudra, kapalabhati, uddiyana bandha and agni sara, as well as introduction of nasal washing (neti). These techniques assist the body's natural process of detoxification through breath and respiratory cleansing as well as toning and shaping the organs and muscles of the abdomen. We will enhance the process of purification with surya namaskar (sun salutations) and chandra namaskar (moon salutations). Saturday afternoon will elaborate on the deepest relaxation possible through Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation/meditation/psychic cleansing). We will also look at the yogic life style that best supports these practices, as well as, when and for whom, these practices would be contra-indicated.

Join Chandra Om, Senior teacher of Sri Dharma Mittra and the Director of the North Carolina School of Yoga for two amazing days of Master Classes comprising “the best and most effective methods of Yoga”.

The Divine active ingredients include the inspirational Shiva Namaskar Vinyasa sequences, specific pranayama practices, concentration and meditation, mantra, purification, psychic development, satsang, and most importantly Yama, “without which there is no success in Yoga”. These practices promote harmony within all the koshas so an integrated state of radiant health is achieved, bringing one closer to the true Self within the heart. Chandra infuses the teachings of Yama, dispassion, reverence, surrender to the Lord, and love throughout the session. Kindness, patience, humility, fortitude, humor, selfless service, ahimsa (non-killing), and unlimited love, compassion and understanding for all will be shown to all participants, and students at any level can lose their fear and become steadfast Yogis in this practice.
The effects of Chandra’s classes are remarkable and life changing. Students and teachers from around the world are forever changed by the simple, ancient teachings which embrace all aspects of the science of Yoga, from the physical to the esoteric. Chandra is a true living Yogi, a rare gem in the world of Yoga today. Her approach and teachings are loved by all Yogis, and strike the hearts of all who attend sessions with her. Chandra has initiated thousands into the Holy practice of Yoga, and emphasizes “complete surrender to the Lord, without this, there will be no success in Yoga”. For more information on Chandra or to learn more about her teachings, please visit www.ncschoolofyoga.com.
"Better then attending all the classes in the world, with all the teachers, is to spend just one moment with Chandra."
