Yoga
Nidra: The Wholistic Technique for Relaxation
With Ila Michelle
McAlpin
Senior Instructor of Amrit Method® and Level II iRest® Yoga Nidra
Saturday/Sunday,
April 13/14 Full Workshop $110/Each Session $35
Let yoga nidra help you to relax deeply and create a space where body and mind can heal. Use this workshop to reduce your stress level and learn to accept all parts of you.
In our overly fast and busy society, many of us are afflicted with stress related ills. Yoga nidra can help us to relax more easily, to sleep better, to reduce fear, anxiety, and depression, to reduce chronic and acute pain, to improve interpersonal relationships, and to increase our sense of inner peace and well being. From your local yoga studio to the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense, yoga nidra is being used to help people live healthier and more productive lives. You can give yourself this gift by attending this two-day workshop!
Yoga nidra is easy and enjoyable to practice. If you can breathe and either sit or lie comfortably, you can practice yoga nidra. Yoga Nidra is a practice for almost everyone!
Saturday 9 am-noon $35 What is Yoga Nidra and how can it help me towards a lower stress life?
We will learn the structure of yoga nidra and learn to welcome the messages the body has for us. We begin with a few yoga poses to guide us into awareness of the body and lead us towards our first deep relaxation.
Saturday 1:30 pm-4:30 pm $35 Yoga Nidra and working with emotions
Stress accumulates when we suppress our emotions. Perhaps we have been taught that only some emotions are acceptable or we find some of our emotions frightening or inappropriate. In the deeply relaxed space of Yoga Nidra we can learn to welcome these emotions and remain at ease. The result—a life lived with less stress.
Sunday 9 am-noon $35 Using Yoga Nidra to examine thoughts and beliefs about yourself
Many of us have tapes in our heads that say things like “You’re not good enough,” or “You can’t do that.” These tapes hold us back from our full potential, make our interpersonal relationships more challenging, and raise our stress levels. Using Yoga Nidra, we can quiet these tapes and even re-record them—to help us live our lives at ease.
Sunday 1:30-4:30 $35 Realizing joy and well-being with Yoga Nidra
Our natural state is one of harmony and balance, filled with joy and a sense of well-being. The deep relaxation of yoga nidra helps us find this natural state and, with practice, stay in this state more and more of the day.
Ila Michelle McAlpin served as co-director of the Amrit Method® Yoga Nidra Professional Training with the Amrit Yoga Institute from 2007-2011. She has continued her study of yoga nidra with Richard Miller and is becoming a certified iRest® yoga nidra instructor. As mindfulness coach in contemplative psychotherapy with Healing Paths and Practices, Ltd. of Boulder, Colorado, Michelle teaches mindfulness through yoga nidra and a variety of communication building techniques.

Partner Yoga Workshop
with Athena Seay
Friday, April 19 6:30-8pm
Couple $35/Single $20 All Levels of Experience Welcome.
Just as in our relationships off the mat, in Partner Yoga we experience directly what it feels like to build trust and compassion with others. Our partner reflects back to us the qualities that we express. This is both the pleasure and the challenge of Partner Yoga, because we are also made acutely aware of those moments when we are distrustful and unwilling to connect.
Athena Seay will guide you as you move through playful sequences of partner-assisted poses where one helps the other. We will also go through double yoga poses where each reflects the other in dynamic and balanced symmetries.

Children's Angel Bear Yoga
with Jackie Knafelc
Saturdays, May 4, 11, 18
10:30am-11:30am $35
Angel Bear Yoga is a unique 3-week program for children ages 5-10 that focuses on their fascination of the world of animals with the physical activity of yoga movement.
By attaching a character trait for each yoga pose and by combining yoga with nature, our program teaches children to embody positive behavior and appreciate the natural world.
This creative way of building character in children while connecting to yoga, to education and to nature creates compassionate, respectful and caring individuals.
Your child will learn to:
- Use their imaginations with Angel Bear and her friend, Sweet Pea as they soar into different forests relating to positive character traits.
- Engage in yoga poses to spread their wings, climb mountains, listen to the rain.
- Express ideas as they listen to poems and stories specific to positive personalities.
- Understand nature, from the smallest creature on land to the largest whale in the ocean.
- Develop an understanding of how they can make a difference in the world.
Ultimately, children who attend Jackie's Angel Bear Yoga workshops improve their learning and comprehension in school.
