Accessing the Archetypes
thru Elements and Asanas
July 12th, 2024
"Don't just make shapes"
That's what one of my favorite yoga teachers used to say. And if you have been to any of my classes you'll know that the yoga postures I guide you thru also tap into energy channels, most typically referred to as meridians. These meridians activate the energies of the Panch Maha Bhuta (Five Great Elements): Earth, Water, Fire, Air, & Space. But what we usually do not have enough time to get into in these classes is that every archetype (persona, character, hero, deity) is related to specific key virtues; and these virtues healing and edifying powers in themselves. Thus, each archetype is associated with an element and related to an archetype, and archetypes are guiding examples -made up from a collective of virtues - that guide and empower us to work thru life's challenges and achieve specific goals.
Which archetype do you need to help you thru your challenge?
Find out in this workshop series, as well as how to call up and imbibe its energy.

This will be the 3rd of a 5 part series. However, it is fine if you missed the previous 2 workshops and it is likely that we will do another round of this 5 part series as it has been well attended. Please note that it also follows the 5:00 "Free Friday" Community Yoga Class.
However, unlike the preceding workshops, these workshops have a suggested donation of $20* but still include a vegetarian dinner & dessert -provided by Jade who, like most Filipinos, just happens to be an amazing cook. And, these days, if you were to go out to eat like this you'd easily pay over $30. So please just consider... a free yoga class, a free dinner, and a free workshop, all of top notch quality when you make your donation. Further, your donations will be going toward major repairs needed in the Lotus Yoga Temple.
​
Both the 5pm class and the 6:30 workshop are taught by Will (Yoga Teacher Trainer / Elemental Yoga Therapist) and apply towards Yoga Teacher Training** hours for those who are enrolled in the CYS "Start Anytime" Yoga Teacher Training. **

An Evening of Indian Classical Dance
Bharatanatyam is a South Indian Classical dance form that dates back nearly 3000 years. The art form integrates bhavam (expression), ragam (melody), talam (rhythm), and natyam (dance), to portray various aspects of Indian culture, mythology and philosophy. Bharatanatyam is regarded as “Yoga in motion”, as through the use of mudras (hand gestures), abhinaya (expressions) and adavus (rhythmic foot work), the dance form engages the whole being- body, mind and spirit. Uma and Meghna Siripurapu are students of Bharatanatyam and look forward to sharing the connections between Yoga and Bharatanatyam with the Cincinnati Yoga School community, and welcome ALL for a demonstration and discussion.
Mark your calendars for...
