Event: Kindling the Flame of Your Practice with Tapas taught by Linda DiCarlo

Friday 6pm-8pm Standing Poses - Standing poses, the foundation of the Iyengar method, introduce us to the primary actions of many advanced poses. With diligent work, skill and intelligence blossom as our practices become more dynamic. We cultivate intention with attention, commonly called "will power." By yoking together body and mind, we kindle the flame of Tapas, the burning drive towards purification, enthusiasm, or vigor. Saturday 9am-11am Chest & Shoulder Opening Back Extensions - Spine arching poses are the antidote to our western lifestyle. After childhood we rarely bend in this manner. As a result the musculature on the anterior surface of the body shortens and posture reflects on anatomical imbalance. Using the Iyengar method we will move progressively through a series of poses to create spaciousness and freedom. This in turn will bring about an open heart and a favorable disposition of the mind.
All levels welcome!

Event: Spirit and Money: Prospering by Doing what You Love with Cary Bayer
Date: Friday, April 20, 2012 from 11:30am-1:30pm
Cost: $20 when paid by April 17, $25 after.

This class helps the millions of spiritual seekers to heal the erroneous separation that so often exists in their minds between Spirit and money. Most importantly, Spirit & Money author Cary Bayer teaches how to use your God-given talents to attract revenue streams by doing the work that you love--your dharma (the work that you're here to do). This can, in time, turn a tolerable livelihood into a passionate lovelihood. It also shows you how to make a larger cut of the millionaire pie available to you in our abundant universe; and gain 200 percent of Life's spiritual and material riches. It also teaches you a prayer that you can use on a daily basis to help create unexpected income. Finally, it helps empower those who are already doing what they love to market their services more effectively by learning the art of spiritual marketing, and come to see that selling itself, when it's done from the heart, can be graceful and as innocent as child's play

Happiness…it's what motivates virtually everything we do. And yet, most people are chronically unhappy, despite the fact that we live in the most affluent nation on earth. The majority of people are left only with the Declaration of Independence freedom: namely, the pursuit of happiness. This class is concerned with the fulfillment of that pursuit. 40 Days to a Happy Life author Cary Bayer helps awaken happiness for each class participant in three stages: 1) he first shows how to discover what makes one happy; 2) then he shows how to incorporate more of what makes one happy into one's life; 3) finally, he teaches the student how to derive more happiness from everything he does in life. If you already live an abundantly happy life, this class isn't necessary. But very few people do, it's absolutely critical.
