TRAININGS, WORKSHOPS & UPCOMING EVENTS
Is it time to un-plug, reset, and recharge yourself. Join me for intentional, cathartic workshops, teacher trainings and retreats, at your studio or mine.
WORKSHOPS
1. Introduction to Vimana Yoga: Vimana Yoga is a therapeutic, fitness based, class designed for all levels. We will explore all of the Bikram postures plus learn basic flow as well as strengthening and stabilizing exercises. Vimana Yoga combines several styles of yoga including Bikram, Forrest, Para, and Vinyasa Yoga, and prepares you for all styles of practice. Learn how to listen to your body so that you can heal injuries, and grow and expand your practice!
2. 84 Asanas: This is the traditional Ghosh 84 Asanas plus some extras for fun! Bel attended the first Advanced seminar in Los Angeles with Bikram in 1997, and has been practicing "The 84" regularly since. He is the co-author of "The 84" with Emily Longfellow and Esak Garcia.
3. Vinyasa 101: This class focus's on the fundamentals of vinyasa flow. You will learn to combine breath with movement in a progressive sequence to create a unsurpassed experience. We will look closely at several different vinyasa's including Chaturanga vinyasa. We will also explore Sun Salutations including Sun A, B, C and G. All levels are welcome.
4. Vimana Hot Stretch: Vimana Hot Stretch® is a gentle flow practice with elements that include restorative, some long hold (Yin) postures, Dynamic Movement with Breath, short meditations, and Savasana. The more forward bends, asymmetry, attention to alignment, longer holds, awareness of breath, and slower pace taps us into the moon, or Tha energy which allows lengthening in your muscles and releases old patterning. This practice will bring in a steadiness that helps you to tap into your subconscious, allowing you to release stress, and deep held patterning by resetting your Parasympathetic nervous system. We focus on stretching hips, shoulders, neck and arms with minimal arm balancing.
5. Inversion Workshop: Join Bel Carpenter for a fun, dynamic, playful, journey into the world of arm balancing, gravity surfing, and inversions. We will explore fun transitions, and practice strengthening and conditioning techniques for arm balancing, floating, tiger, headstand, and handstand postures!
6. Yoga Nidra: Yoga Nidra relaxes the body, mind and intellect in a systematic manner. It is a resting meditation based on clearing space, and creating intention. Your intention, or Sankalpa is a heartfelt desire to help you fulfill your Dharma, or purpose in life. The most effective Sankalpa is made when you are not intellectually active, but when your mind is calm and quiet. In this state of deep relaxation one's perspective can shift significantly, allowing us to surrender the past, profound realizations, and create positive change. Yoga Nidra brings an incredible calmness, quietness, and clarity, and is one of the deepest of all meditations, leading one's awareness to a state of supreme stillness and insight. Traditionally, it was used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras, the deep impressions that are the driving force behind Karma, in order to move one towards their true Dharma. Bel Carpenter has been practicing Yoga Nidra since 1998 and is ready to share the practice that has helped him through the last two decades.
7. Synergy Partner Yoga: Synergy Partner Yoga is an interactive, healing art that incorporates partner stretching, beginning "flying", foundation acrobatics, and Thai massage. It inspires trust, community, and playfulness. Learn to listen, feel, and communicate in a whole new way with Synergy Partner Yoga. Come solo or with a friend.
8. "Yin"tensive: Vimana Hot Yin is both a gentle, and challenging yoga practice. After a gentle pranayama, passive poses are held for 3-5 minutes in order to access the connective tissues, tendions, facia, and ligaments at a deeper level. This not only improves flexibility, but the flow of prana. A more meditative approach to yoga, Yin aims to cultivate awareness of one’s inner silence, quieting the mind, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality.
