Yoga with Jane Yoga and DJ HyFi

jane jarecki — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 17:32:00 +0000

I'm please to welcome DJ HyFI to Burlington from his trips around the country, spreading music, yoga and love.

Join us on Saturday, July 24th from 6-8 pm on a journey across a sonic landscape of groovin' beats and lush atmospherics. The journey starts with an hour and a half of asana to live DJ mixing and flows into a 30 min sonic meditation/savasana.

In the yoga portion of the workshop, I will lead you to new depth and in the meditative portion of the workshop, DJ HyFi will be layering and mixing ambient sounds to create a smooth sound scape that will transport you to another dimension.
-Jane Jarecki Lanza

Just relax and let the river carry you along...

Don’t Miss Acoustic Asana, this Friday!

Jamie — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:23:02 +0000

This Friday, don’t miss Jane and Patrick’s special one-night Acoustic Asana workshop. If you aren’t sure, check out this interview with Jane and get excited for this unique event!

Q: What are you most excited about ?

Jane: The space created by the combined practice and rhythms of music and yoga.

Q: What makes this workshop unique?

Jane: The live music and tuning fork and high vibrations help students easily access present moment awareness and santosha contentment. If you’re someone who likes to dance or plays an instrument, or simply likes to listen to music, then come notice the freedom available to you in your yoga practice when you combine those two elements. It is the mind-body link.

“Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. “ ~Kahlil Gibran

Curious about “Do Yoga with Your Mom?”

Evolution Yoga — Thu, 20 May 2010 15:26:17 +0000

evolution yoga asks Danielle Vardakas Ducko a few questions about her upcoming workshop: Do Yoga with Your Mom. Learn more about how it was created and how you would benefit from trying it out!

what motivated you to create do yoga with your mom?
My pregnancy really motivated me and the first time I taught the workshop I was several months pregnant. I really witnessed the connection to my child and it impacted the connection to my own mother. Meditating on breath with Garnet in my womb was amazing! Feeling his movement and moving with him in unison inspired me to create this sequence.

what if one or both people are new to yoga?
There are always modifications and I improvise for the group in front of me as needed. We will be taking postures slowly with lots of verbal cues, assists and demonstrations.

what is the age range of participants?
5-85

how would you sum up do yoga with your mom in 1 sentence?
Revisit your precious connection through breath, intention, and playfulness.

Find Freedom in your Jaw, Neck and Shoulders

Evolution Yoga — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:06:36 +0000

this Sunday!...Feldenkrais: Freedom for the Jaw, Neck and Shoulders with Uwe Mester

May 23, 2010
2-4 pm
$14 or 1 class on 10 class card.
Pre-registration suggested, drop-ins welcome.

The jaw, neck and shoulders are a “triangle of tension” for many people. But the intimate muscular and sensory-motor connections between these areas offer you a wonderful opportunity to improve all three at the same time. This workshop will deliver an engaging and gentle series of Awareness Through Movement® lessons designed to reduce muscular tension, promote relaxation and ease throughout the jaw, neck and shoulders. People who suffer from TMJ, neck discomfort, headaches and shoulder pain will find this workshop particularly to their benefit. The positive results of this workshop will not depend on stretching or softening your muscles, but on improving the effectiveness with which the brain coordinates and controls movements in your shoulders, neck and jaw. You will restore flexibility and vitality in a safe, pleasurable process.
You do not need prior Feldenkrais® experience to enjoy this workshop. Please bring a mat or blanket with you and wear comfortable clothes.

It takes the whole body to walk and run…
Runners pay a lot of attention to what is going on in their legs, but are often less aware of what is happening in their hips, spine, ribs, shoulders, and how they are holding their head.

In this workshop you will learn about 3 “landmarks” (feet, hips and shoulders) in your body that are important for effective and graceful walking and running. One of the hallmarks of any performance (not only athletic) is a sense of ease and grace that the performer has. Discover this ease and gracefulness in your walking and running through the Feldenkrais-Method.

You will gain an increased awareness of how these three parts have to work together so you can run or walk with the skills, endurance and speed you want. This workshop is designed for everybody – you do not have to be an athlete to enjoy and benefit from it.

If you run, walk, hike or play sports, this is the workshop for you! But even if you do not exercise you will learn to walk with more ease and pleasure in daily life.

A series of Awareness Through Movement classes will enable you to make dynamic improvements in your walking and running. Uwe will focus in this workshop on the coordination between shoulder and hip movements and how to use your whole body to walk or run faster with less effort and pain. After the workshop Uwe will offer a short gentle running session, so you can identify your improvements from this workshop (please bring your running shoes).

You do not need prior Feldenkrais experience to enjoy this workshop. If you never taken a Feldenkrais class before, please show up 10 minutes early, so Uwe can explain the main principles of the Feldenkrais-Method.

Evolution Yoga Teachers Retreat- coming up!

Evolution Yoga — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:17:06 +0000

One thing that makes the Evolution Yoga teaching staff unique is the regularity of the Yoga Teacher meetings, held once per month, which offer an opportunity to gather as a group, learn the anatomy of the pose of the month from Janet Carscadden, to share ideas about this posture, and to cultivate positive energy.

One special weekend each year, the Evolution Yoga teachers retreat is held at the Tao of Health in Ira, Vermont. Tao of Health is owned by Janet Dunn-Davenport, Margaret Dunn-Carver’s mom, who prepares delicious food at the retreat and is a fantastic host. The Tao of Health features enough space for everyone to sleep, a yoga studio, walking labyrinth, and beautiful grounds. The weekend-long length of the retreat expands on the essence of the monthly meetings and deepens the bond of the group. This retreat helps teachers to focus individual intentions as well as and group teaching intentions.

At this years retreat teachers will learn from one another on topics as wide-ranging as chanting and harmonium, core strength and bandhas, meditation, pranayam, postural-assists, kirtan, proper-alignment, anatomy, and more!

Stay tuned to for tid-bits and images from the Evolution Teachers Retreat: April 16, 17,18, 2010 in Ira, Vermont.

Evolution will be open with a staff of wonderful subs during this weekend- deep thanks to those teachers!
