Good health is our birthright and the ideal we work towards.  Healing is basically to make “whole”. Healing is a word and a concept that is more positive in its concept and approach than the word cure. An attempt to cure any illness or disease is basically different from an attempt to rectify the constitution and re-establish the health. Health must be the ideal, not the cure of disease held as the ideal.

Astrology cannot provide cures, but the horoscope can help us to understand the relationship between different energies at work in our life, and help to point out the imbalances and how we might correct the disharmony. Astrology provides information about the conscious and unconscious areas of our personality greatly influencing our health and well-being.  For true healing to result, it is necessary to discover and contact the root issues which have originally caused an affliction. Astrology can help indicate not only where in your anatomy you are most likely to experience health concerns, yet also the timing of such periods in your life and astrology can provide you with working tools to cooperate with these potentially challenging health processes.

Fee: $150 for the full workshop weekend or individual workshop prices apply as noted below

“An Astrological Guide to Living Creatively in Multi-Dimensionality” Life in the 21^st. Century challenges people to consciously experience multi-dimensionality – living simultaneously in several dimensions. Our relationship to time offers the key and astrologers are specialists in time, fate and destiny.   How free and liberated are you?  During the 24-hour clock, do you get the most out of your daily time management? Derek will illustrate from the birth horoscope when best for you to tap into energies of the 10 planets.  He will also touch upon topics like: how to cooperate with our monthly and yearly planetary cycles, ending the tyranny of the conditioned, working with integration of your male-female rhythms and more integration and oneness and the experience of multi-dimensionality, how to have a loving divorce from your parents and bond with your partner, and energy exchange in relationships, and finding and expressing your true vocation in life, and the Aquarian Science of Divination.

“Healing thru Astrology” Good health is the circulation of energies, so when energy doesn’t flow, these challenges & obstacles can cause lowered immunity and our health may suffer. Astrology is a language of energy and the personal horoscope is your energy portrait. Yet what manifests upon the physical plane has already revealed itself through patterns in your emotional & mental life. Astrology can help indicate not only where in your anatomy you are most likely to experience health concerns, yet also the timing of such periods in your life – but more important, can  provide working tools to cooperate with these potentially challenging health processes.

“Entry & Exit – Your Birth & Death Horoscope” We know a lot about the birth chart, but very little about the value of a death chart.  During this Aquarian Age, we are computed “in” at birth and computed “out” at death – which produces a horoscope for both events. Can  the charts help reveal intimate soul knowledge concerning this incarnation and preparation for the next life? Can we compare the birth and death charts to see if the soul-personality achieved what it set out to do during this incarnation? We fear death because we have lost our faith and our inner compass – but this wasn’t always so – and we can gain inspiration from previous cultures. As death is a matter of consciousness, we can let go of the word “deceased” and start using the word “departed” and consider the soul’s evolutionary journey through the planetary states. Working towards a “conscious exit” is a major goal of the Aquarian Age.  All astrology deals in fate and astrologers become specialists in fate and destiny.  Fate is the cards you are dealt, and destiny/freewill is how you play them.

When we experience a trauma in our life, an aspect of us creates defense mechanisms to keep us from re-experiencing the pain of the trauma. These defenses compartmentalize and splinter parts of our true Selves making aspects of our divine nature inaccessible to us. Our life loses its wholeness, health and power. Ironically, the very feelings we bury inside ourselves, unconsciously direct our lives and often recreate the pain of the traumatic feelings we are trying to avoid. Effiji Breath Technique® was developed by founder, Elijah Nisenboim, after giving over 2000 sessions of breath work over a 10 year period. Elijah combined healing techniques, music, 4 element breath, and touch to free up vast stores of life force energy and connect us to our true Selves. Effiji® Breathing allows you to access these stored patterns and release them forever.

Knowing how your body works often determines the difference between success or struggle, mastery or injury when learning new asanas. Simple anatomical keys are one of the most proficient tools for a healthy, effortless and powerful yoga practice. Learning how to tune into the deeper layers of your body brings new awareness and ability into your practice.

Taking base in a simple and functional way of understanding your physical architecture we will investigate skeletal, muscular and energetic systems in the body. You will learn basic anatomy, correct technique & alignment as well as useful anatomical concepts and pointers, such as how deep joint-work increases your movement range and how skeletal awareness enhances strength and grace. The class facilitates a curious and investigative approach into the science of yoga. all levels and yoga styles welcome. there will be extensive reading and 2 anatomy books are included in the price

Philosophy, Chanting, Breathing, & Meditation

6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

This workshop is designed to give context to the practice of Ashtanga Yoga. Through discussion we will explore basic theory of yogic thought drawing from the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras, placing our practice in the Yoga tradition dating back thousands of years while exploring the development and relevance of Yoga in the modern world. We will use chanting and meditation to see asana practice as part of a larger system of inquiry into consciousness. Wear comfortable clothes. No yoga mat necessary.

Only 10 students per group. Student should have a memorized practice, but it does not have to be full primary.

Afternoon techniques: Core Practice, Jumping Back & Through

1:00 pm – 3:30 pm

In this workshop, we will explore the dynamic relationship between the pelvis, ribcage, and head. We will look at the ways in which this relationship is integral to the breath and bandhas at the heart of the Ashtanga Yoga method. This workshop lays the foundation for using your arms as a base of support, and explores the mechanics of how the arms and shoulders integrate into the core of the body. Through a progressive series of asanas, along with the accompanying theory, we will dive into the dynamic action of jump throughs and arm balancing.

Afternoon techniques: Hips, Knees & Forward Folds

1:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Paschimattanasana, or west stretching pose, describes forward bending as a means of opening the subtle channels on the posterior surface of the body. In this workshop, we will look at the three symmetrical forward bends, or paschimattanasana poses in the beginning of primary series to help us understand the fundamentals of hip and spinal flexion. We will then build on this foundation to look at asymmetrical forward bends and what they teach us about proper use of the hips and knees so that we can safely move towards advanced forward bending asanas such as supta kurmasana.
