Compassionate Teaching/Living: Understanding Ourselves Assisting Workshop
About this Event
This workshop will help you understand how to respectfully and confidently enter your students’ energy field and convey a message of love and safety through your touch. This assisting technique is not about “correcting” the student, but helping the student feel a sense of safety and ease in their body and on the mat. Through your assists you will realize a powerful connection with the student that can create shifts in both of your lives. Whether you work with the general public, or populations in recovery (trauma, substance abuse, eating disorders) this workshop will be invaluable! This workshop is not limited to yoga teachers!

About the Teacher
Sue Jones is a leader, yoga teacher and inspirational voice in the arena of compassionate living and compassionate teaching. It is Sue’s mission to help communities of yoga students and yoga teachers everywhere understand their fundamental connection with their fellow human being and to help mobilize groups of passionate individuals toward a movement of helping others through the example of compassionate living and teaching. In addition, Sue hopes to support communities of yoga teachers interested in teaching vulnerable populations in their geographic area. She achieves this by bringing together like-minded people, meeting them in their communities and sharing with them the tools that they will need to mobilize themselves, support each other, and reach out to populations that do not normally have access to yoga.

Collective Flow Class w/Coral Brown
We will flow in a creative, dynamic method based upon vinyasa drama (stages of evolution). Therefore, this practice is open to yogis of all levels. Within this class, multi-dimensional sequencing will allow us to integrate standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists and hip openers. Using the four movements of Prana to provide the experience of energetic alignment within the flow will lead to the cultivation of the fluid body.

Scientists study it. Doctors recommend it. Millions of Americans many of whom don't even own crystals - practice it every day. Why? Because meditation works….
You are invited to join Tina Gurupashna Vaughn, a Vedic Meditation teacher, who will help you experience the benefits of meditation.
The purpose of meditation is to still the conscious thinking mind and connect with the source of peace and bliss that is within us. This practice was discovered by enlightened sages thousands of years ago. The breathing techniques we use in meditation help calm the mind and bring more clarity and balance. Meditation lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart and respiration rate and brings the mind from beta brain wave levels to alpha and theta brain wave levels. This reduces stress and anxiety levels.
