With Nita Rubio
Sunday, October 24
12 - 3:30 pm
$75
Women and snakes have been associated with birth, death, and resurrection since Neolithic times. This connection is depicted through all cultures from the early 5th millennium B.C.E. in Greece ,the Ukraine, and Albania, to Egypt, India and Mexico.
We will explore this link between woman, Goddess and snake in this experiential 3 ½ hour workshop with Nita Rubio. The workshop will be a weaving of teachings of the snake/Goddess connection and actual subtle body experience of these teachings. Teachings will include the connection of snake, woman, menstruation and moon, movements of Kundalini, and snake as woman’s connection to feminine power. Woman’s fear of snake is fear of her own power. Our movement will be an in-depth exploration of the subtle movements of spiral, wave, and serpentine motion and the womb to 3rd eye connection.
And, yes, we will be working with the grace of live temple snakes to experience visceral connection between the living energetic body of woman and the living energetic body of snake!

Rising Inner Peace: Shiva Garuda Dharma
with Lama Norbu
Saturday, October 23
1:30 - 3:30 pm
$40 if pre-registered by the day before,
$45 at the door
The great Padmasambhava made a prophecy in the 8th Century: "When an iron horse flies up into the sky, tantric teachings will spread widely in the land of red-faced people." The precious Shiva Garuda practice provides an expedient and beneficial dharma path to help us overcome worry and fear while balancing body, speech and mind. It is an essential and powerful transmission for modern times.
Originating from Divine Mother Guan Yin, Shiva Garuda was transmitted in secret by advanced Tibetan yogis. Lama Norbu received this transmission to help people master our increasingly turbulent times with peace and clarity. Through a potent combination of breathwork, visualization, intention, mantra and mudra, Shiva Garuda enables us to hold a higher frequency of vibrational energy while elevating our consciousness.
Also known as the Phoenix-Agape practice, Shiva Garuda leads us to a state of deep, meditative focus while attuning us to our own rising, self-healing energy. This profound, esoteric teaching increases our joy and inner peace while helping to heal the collective suffering of humankind. Shiva Garuda teaches us to release limiting concepts, return to our Inner Nature and discover ultimate freedom. In this workshop (suitable for all levels), we will learn the Shiva Garuda practice and rediscover the reservoir of peace that resides within!

Evoking the Crystalline Form: A Toltemetry Workshop
with Steve Miller
Saturday, October 2
1 - 3 pm
$40 if preregisted by 11/1/10, $45 thereafter
Please join us for an afternoon of self discovery, personal empowerment and profound emotional clarity.
Presenting Toltemetry, a fresh new modality that combines the knowledge of the Toltec peoples, the wisdom of Totemic earth medicine, and the empowerment of Telemetry.
These movements are specifically designed to reconnect you with the forgotten resources in and around your body that you were born with. They assist in the dimensional re-establishment of our subtle energy bodies, which are essential for a fulfilling life. These subtle bodies become compromised over time due to emotional structures, traumas, illnesses and synthetic energy patterns from modern devices.
Learn how to become open, connected and protected. Experience Life Synergy first hand.
There will be a brief introduction and lecture on the movements, followed by guided practices. Please bring a pen and paper if you like to take notes, an open mind, an open heart, some water and your yoga mat.
Steve Miller is an energetic healer, channel, mythologist, and student of ancient languages and holographic theory. From a very early age he always wanted to know "why" or "how" on an esoteric level. He was born in Japan into a family where energetic healing was already practiced, and spent his formative years being exposed to Chinese spirituality and Tibetan Buddhist perspectives while growing up in then British Hong Kong. His own personal studies and medicine path began in 1995 and continues to this day. Steve apprenticed with Native teachers in the Four Corners area, where he learned their mytholgies and rites of passage, and continues to learn from Shamans and guides from South and Meso America. He has developed dynamic healing maps of the human and canine emotional and energetic bodies showing where various energy stories are stored, and the system of healing that helps to identify and unwrap threads or stories of consciousness. A nexus of this work resulted in a book Steve wrote about dogs from an energetic level, which is currently under review for publication.
He also developed and teaches a shamanic based movement system called "Toltemetry," that promotes "Life Synergy" through subtle body enhancement. This system creates repeatable mechanisms of motion that can allow the pracitioner to feel more empowered, contained and yet still very much connected.
He currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and son.

Workshop Weekend with Mitchel Bleier
“Hip”pie Love (all levels - light vinyasa)
Friday, October 8
7:30-9:30 p.m.
$45
In Sanskrit, "sukha" means easy or content. And that's exactly what we love about this workshop - it's easy on the joints and the long, deep holds make for very happy hamstrings and hips.
These far out forward bends and hip openers are groovy poses to sink into - especially if you're parked at your desk all day. You'll be breathing your way into different postures and holding them for awhile - kind of like giving yourself and your practice a big, fat hug! So if a little bit of self-love is on your radar, then it's high time you hit up this deeply opening, somewhat psychedelic workshop. Give yourself some Hippie Love!
Open Up (all levels - vinyasa with alignment)
Saturday, October 9
3-6 p.m.
$60
Maybe it's time to OPEN UP? To reconsider everything about yourself and your practice. To take your yoga to the next level. To twist this way and that. To get your arms straight in urdhva dhanurasana and maybe, just maybe press up into a handstand. To laugh in the face of arm balances. To focus on your breath and attempt the some of the more challenging poses just because you can.
Sound like you're ready to OPEN UP? Then take this workshop and we'll get you out of your head and into your body. It will also empower you to take your yoga to the next level, no matter where your yoga is (or goes)!
Open Wider (all levels - intermediate/advanced vinyasa)
Sunday, October 10
10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
$60
Ever consider flying? What about pausing in mid-air or jumping without making a sound? How about breathing deeper, expanding more, or breaking the "I can't" barriers of your soul? Then it's time to OPEN WIDER. Take this part circus show, part mind-altering, part "here are the secrets no one ever told you" workshop and see how the universe takes on an infinite number of finite possibilities. Or maybe just to have that jaw-dropping, I can't believe what I'm doing moment, or at the worst a good chuckle!
OPEN WIDER is your time to jump, float, press, fly through arm balances and backbends, forward bends and inversions on your mat in wild fits of ecstasy (or exhaustion) that are not for the weak at heart.
***Sign up for all three workshops for $145 ($20 savings).

Bliss Out! Costa Rica ... A Girls Only Getaway
With Amy Lombardo
February 19-26, 2011
Some things are so good,
they're worth repeating!
Forget what you think you know about retreats. This life-changing "aha" kind of experience takes it to a whole other level. If you've been waiting for the right time and the right trip to commit to, your wait has now ended.
Last year, I led a Women's Yoga and Empowerment Retreat to Costa Rica. Being a spontaneous, adventurous, and somewhat impatient person, I usually create an offering once and then move on to new ideas after it's completed. But this retreat changed all that.
Perhaps, it was the perfect recipe of yoga, empowerment coaching, and nature adventures. Or the great group of fabulous women attracted to this kind of experience. Maybe it was the 5,000 acres of private beachfront and rainforest property, or the horse rides at sunset; or the fire dance performances under the starry sky; or the monkeys calling out from the lush green forest in morning yoga class. Whatever it was, this retreat delivered.
TESTIMONIAL:
"If there is one thing you do for yourself all year, make it this. You'll be taken care of in every way and wouldn't believe how much fun you can have, even without knowing anyone ahead of time. I have made life-long friendships with the other participants and have a renewed outlook on life. I am so grateful I had this chance to re-evaluate my life; renew my energy; and reconnect to myself. This was such a gift!"
- Cathy C., Former Participant
Still, months later, I get emails from retreat participants with updates - some have gone back to Costa Rica a second time because of the initial impact of this retreat. Others paired up with new found friends from the retreat and traveled to new destinations. Others changed jobs; started new relationships; left bad ones behind; moved to new cities, and on and on. Transformation was happening and still continues to this day. A spark had been lit because a small group of women had agreed to travel together and support each other on their journeys of empowerment.
TESTIMONIAL:
"Our retreat to Costa Rica was life-changing - a combination of incredible beauty of the land, the ocean, the rainforest; and the energy of a wonderful group of smart, supportive women of all ages. Practicing yoga every day on the beach with the howler monkeys above us; hiking; riding horses; meeting children at their school; savoring incredible meals cooked outdoors; honoring the land and our place in nature; and taking in the knowledge and generosity of our wonderful guides -- every day was a new and shared adventure. Amy's incredible love of opening new vistas and expanded potential for women is nothing short of magical and natural all at the same time."
- Jeannie F., Former Participant
Together, we co-created a once in a lifetime experience, and it's time to co-create again. Please join me and 13 other like-hearted travelers for BLISS OUT! Costa Rica.
