THE SESSIONS:

Friday, April 19, 6p to 8:00 - SNEAK ATTACK CORE

Let’s face it—core work is never fun—right? It might always burn, but a strong core is the key to a connected practice. This workshop finds creative and playful ways to access your core from the basics of vinyasa, playful floor work, pick-up + jump backs, balance work and pranayama. Before you know it you’ll be fully connected to your center with a smile on your face.

Saturday, April 20, 10a to noon - KEEP CALM AND BAKASANA ON

All hail to the King of Arm Balances! Crow Pose is an incredibly complex
posture that gives us the ultimate foundation to build balance on. We'll explore a plethora of variations and stepping blocks to fully understand how the body reacts in the pose. Once we understand the basics other arm balancing postures become simple. We'll awaken the core through practicing deep awareness and doing variations including Tripod, Handstand, One-Legged Crow, jumping forward, shooting back, and learning what to do when it's time to stick your tail-feather out. Just remember--when in doubt, keep calm and bakasana on.

Saturday, April 20, 2p to 4:00 - ALTIMETER CHECK - INVERSIONS

Everyone dreams of flying but fears the chance of a crash and burn. This workshop builds a strong foundation of strength in the mindset and physical body to break through preconceived notions of our abilities. We are gifted beyond our imagination, and this workshop will playful support and encourage your untapped potential to dance on your hands and see the world from a different view. Drop fear and step forward with a smile on your face and love in your heart and you'll already be lighter and ready to flip it around. Great for baby birds and seasoned fliers, just come open to being challenged with the most playful of ways!

Sunday, April 21, 9a to 11:00 - CHOOSE ONLY LOVE

Everything we do stems from a place of love and often all we need is a little reminder to get us back on that track. Backbends are the ultimate ticket to look fear in the face and react straight from our heart center. This love inducing flow will open your heart and shoulders preparing you for deeper backbends to remind you that anything is possible when we surrender. Once the heart soars the possibilities are endless!

Kundalini Thursday Nights Workshop with Atmabir Kaur!!

Atmabir Kaur (Maureen Horkan) came to the practice Kundalini Yoga through the music that is used with this ancient yogic practice. The sound current of chant effects the mind, body, and spirit bringing accelerated alignment and healing.

In addition to the music, Atmabir chose the path of Kundalini because she says "the yoga comes to you wherever you are, whatever level of health or strength you have, you can do this practice, it will challenge you and take you further."

The workshop Atmabir will offer in January focuses on clearing limitations and embracing prosperity and purpose. The science of Kundalini Krias, Mantra, and breath work will move negative energy out and expand your ability to draw divine blessings and wealth into your life.

Suggestion: wearing white clothing will enhance the effects of the yoga and increase your positive energy.

5 Class Series at Lotus Yoga will be held on Thursday evenings, beginning on January 3 and ending on February 7. Classes will be held on Thursdays from 7:30- to 9 pm.
Cost: $60.00 Series Fee ($15.00 drop-in).
