"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.

Our next workshop and circle will be
Friday, October 18th @ 6:30
RSVP: LotusYogaTemple@cincyoga.cOm
​​
Please note that the Elemental Workshop and Sacred Circle follow 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.
​​
The 5pm class will be taught by Will (and Karen Smith starting in October) and the 6:30 workshop is taught by Will (Yoga Teacher Trainer / Elemental Yoga Therapist) and Donald Nicely (RYT 200, MA in Mediation, and 10+ years as Mankind Project circle facilitator).

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...
Sunday, June 16th @ 6:00
