Katchie Ananda
The River of Grace
Anusara Yoga, Aryuveda and Ancient Buddhist Teachings and Practices
Prophecy from the Hopi Elders in Arizona, USA:
" There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel like they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off toward the middle of
the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.
See who is there with you and celebrate. "
In this day-long workshop we will use the elegant principles of Anusara yoga, explore Aryuvedic principles and learn about Buddhist Meditation techniques, to tune body, mind and heart to this great river inside.
Anusara Yoga will give you new tools of how to be at ease in your body and feel alive and vibrant by unifying a life-affirming Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment.
How do you truly know your yoga practice is beneficial? We will explore the ancient link between Yoga and Aryuveda, and how to harmonize your temperament with an appropriate asana practice.
We will also learn how to quiet the mind and open the heart by using traditional Buddhist mindfulness practice as taught by Katchie's teacher and mentor, Jack Kornfield.

Fullday intense: Tantra Vidya: Yoga's Path to Power and Prosperity
Through theory and practice we explore the science of Tantra as the most comprehensive and complete approach to yoga. We highlight the key points of Tantric philosophy, exploring its approach to asana specifically and yoga in general––which can be summed up as shakti sadhana or "power yoga." We then focus on the yoga practices that expand asana's reach and which most directly empower you to thrive in every area of life as prescribed by the tantic tradition. Lecture and two tantric hatha yoga/asana practices. Two years yoga practice recommended.
