  1. Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms™

    Register Now | Comments (0)

    • With: Nancy Genatt
    • Dates: Saturday, May 25, 2013
    • Times: 05:30PM to 07:00PM
    The 5Rhythms™ is a moving meditation practice. There are no steps to learn and there is no way to do it wrong. The main premise is that when the body is moving, the mind can be stilled and meditation arises naturally and deeply. The five rhythms are states of being and patterns of energy that underly all aspects of life: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical & stillness.

    In these monthly classes, we will explore the basic elements of the 5 Rhythms through guided exercises and self-exploratory movement: flowing as it connects us to our bodies; staccato bringing us into clarity and focus; chaos to release us from the thoughts that limit us; expansion into the lightness of lyrical and finally resting in the stillness that holds peace and completion.


    Nancy Genatt has studied with Gabrielle Roth and her core faculty for almost 10 years and is a certified 5Rhythms teacher. For more information about the practice, Gabrielle has written several books; she also has an amazing website and selection of music to support this journey to embodiment: www.gabrielleroth.com

    Message from Sadguru Yogiraj Sri Sri Mangeshda
    “Kriya Yoga is an ancient and scientifically structured yoga technique for holistic living. Regular self-practise of Kriya Yoga enhances inner strength and self-awareness thus ensuring that one faces his life with vigour and lead it with wisdom. In this scientific approach of Spirituality, all actions are based on observations and logical reasoning. An authentic Guru teaches these sacred techniques based on the fivefold methodology and energy conveyance. Kriya Yoga helps in the all-round development of Body, Mind and Soul of the practitioner. This is the fastest and yet the simplest path to self-realization, even for a householder leading a normal life in the society. I welcome you all on this beautiful path of Kriya Yoga on which I shall be there with you always! ”

    How to do arm-balances with greater refinement and less force

    Saturday, June 29, 2013 – 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm

    The grace of arm balancing—as with so many things in life—comes from balance not force. Similarly, the hips, which often hold the key to arm balancing, respond best to smooth, slow unfolding rather than brief bursts of zealous pushing. In this workshop you will untie those knots in your hips and learn how to approach arm-balances with patience and ease. – More
