POSTPONED
Benjy and Heather Wertheimer lead kirtan (sacred chanting) worldwide as a duo Shantala, with soul-stirring vocals, sacred lyrics and exotic instrumentation. The weaving of Benjy's Indian classical singing and instrumentation with Heather's soaring vocals is freshly original and profoundly moving. Together they create music with beauty, passion, and reverance. Shantala has performed and recorded internationally with such sacred music luminaries as Krishna Das, Deva Premal & Miten, and Jai Uttal. In summer 2008, they were named as one of the top "Wallahs to Watch" by Yoga + Joyful Living. Kirtan is a celebration of the Spirit through the chanting of sacred names, carrying the audience into a state of heightened awareness, bliss, and devotion. The audience is invited to participate fully through call-and-response chanting, dance, and meditation.

Empower Yourself to Heal through Anusara™Yoga
A Yoga Therapy Training for teachers and students of all levels with Todd Norian.
October 1-3, 2010 in Newburyport, MA
Yoga Therapy Training:
Every cell in your body is programmed for healing and joy. Unfortunately, due to unconscious body patterns and self-limiting beliefs, we're not always able to fully access this power. Through the life-affirming philosophy and precise alignment principles of Anusara™ Yoga, students and teachers alike will learn how to transform pain and limitation into an experience of freedom and joy.
During this training you will discover your Optimal Blueprint, your body's master design for optimal health, and gain greater knowledge of the application of the Universal Principles of Alignment. Each session will include therapeutic exercises and postures, skillful observation, hands-on technique, and basic anatomy to address, heal, and prevent common aches and pains, including: bunions, ankle and knee pain, hamstring and groin tears, piriformis syndrome, sciatica, lower back and SI joint dysfunction, shoulder and neck strain, rotator cuff injury, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ, and more.
Therapeutics Sessions: include asana practice
Fri 1:00-4:00 Hips, pelvis, lower back
Sat 10:00-1:00 Shoulders, upper back, wrists & hands
Sat 3:00-6:00 Feet, ankles, knees, legs and more hips
Sun 12:30-3:30 Elbows, neck, jaw & review
Asana classes:
Fri 6:00-8:00 All Levels Asana
Harvest Your Greatness: Like the great monkey god Hanuman, we all forget that our true nature is unbounded consciousness and unlimited joy. Greatness is learning how to savor the ecstasy you already are while taking the next step. Leap into your full potential and harvest your greatness through hip openers and leg stretches leading to the threshold of Hanumanasana (splits). You are always closer than you think. Modifications will be given.
Sun 9:00-11:00 Int/Adv Asana The Magical Midline-Increasing Your Vibratory Level
The midline is the central channel along the spine, the Sushumna Nadi, through which the primordial power of the Universe flows. By applying the alignment principles and revelatory philosophy of Anusara™ Yoga, you'll learn a variety of ecstatic asanas that take you directly to the source of your unlimited self. When you're connected to the midline, anything is possible.
Cost:
Full Weekend: $240 if payment postmarked by Sept 13;
$260 thereafter.
Individual classes: Therapeutic Sessions (3 hours) - $55 each
Asana Classes (2 hours) - $40 each

Part 3:
To be re-scheduled
What is an Anusara™ Immersion?
It is taught in three 36 hour Parts - we are presenting each Part as two 18 hour weekends. You can take the parts separately, with different teachers or out of order, but you must have taken Part 1 or Part 2 to take Part 3.
The Anusara™ Immersion, designed by founder John Friend and taught throughout the world by his certified teachers, is an excellent opportunity to advance your yoga practice, deepen your understanding of Tantric philosophy and help you live a more empowered and joyful life. It is taught in three Parts of two 18 hour weekends each. You can take parts separately, but they must be done in order.
Who should take one?
Dedicated yoga students (of all levels of physical ability) and potential future teachers with a desire to immerse themselves in the study of Anusara™ yoga philosophy, alignment, meditation, pranayama and anatomy.
What can I expect?
Each three day weekend will include asana practice and philosophy discussions, as well as meditation and pranayama in the context of a supportive community. There will be recommended readings as well, including study of the Bhagavad Gita in Part 3.
Marc St Pierre is an energetic and dedicated senior certified Anusara™ teacher. He has the gift of making the teachings accessible, fun and transformative.
He was one of the first students to study with John Friend, and one of the first to be certified in his Anusara™ method of yoga. As a full-time teacher, Marc travels the world offering workshops that are innovative and transformative, challenging and compassionate. He has a well-earned reputation for deepening the practices of both beginner and seasoned practitioners, through humour balanced with a quest for authenticity.
