Swimming with the Current:
A Viniyoga Exploration of Breath, Movement, and Asana
May 21–23
With Kathy Ornish
Asana is commonly taught by empha-sizing a precise external form which might not be constructive for an indi-vidual’s body. How can we improve the use of movement in asana to support our body’s individual needs and pro-mote constructive change? Come learn the Viniyoga technique of creating the pose from the inside out. By integrating the breath, movement, and awareness of the spine, we can deepen our poses while deepening our self-awareness.
Learn how to:
■ Use the primacy of the breath to initiate movement in the spine during asana
■ Use the breath to stabilize and mobi-lize your structure in asana
■ Adapt the breath to amplify the struc-tural and energetic effects of asana

Living TantraTM Series (Part 1 of 6) Tantric Tradition and Techniques 17-City Tour Starts April 16 Honesdale, PA (and via Web) April 30–May 2
With Pandit Rajmani Tigunait
Tantra is the key to a life of fulfillment and prosperity. This seminar is the gateway to a comprehensive under-standing of tantra and how the tantric approach to health, healing, spiritual-ity, and religion empowers us to excel in every aspect of life. The underlying theme is the awakening of kundalini shakti at the navel center, the founda-tion for all forms of tantric practice.
We’ll lay the groundwork for this crucial awakening with the practice of prana dharana. We’ll also explore the difference between tantric and non-tantric versions of yoga, meditation, and religion, and discover how tantra has shaped astrology and ayurveda and influenced the art of India, Tibet, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
