16 March 2008 - Raja Yoga Teacher - Janardhan Chodagam

Raja Yoga meditation is an open-eyed technique that can be used by anyone, anywhere. Whether you want to learn how to relax, need to be more concentrated and creative or are searching for personal enlightenment, this course can satisfy each of those needs.

Meditation enables you to create new attitudes and responses to life, giving you a clear spiritual understanding of yourself. Like any skill, meditation requires practice to achieve positive and satisfying results. By doing a little every day, it soon becomes a natural and easy habit, which generously rewards you for the little effort it involves.

We will look at:

* Re-discover enjoying and using the positive qualities already latent within you
* Understand your mind and what makes you tick
* Draw peace, strength and tranquillity from a higher source
* Practical guidance in the technique of meditation

Each session will include:
* Know-how
* Philosophy behind meditation and the skill of meditation
* Guided meditation commentaries led by the meditation teacher
* Most importantly a chance to explore what does and doesn't work for you


23 March 2008 - Vinyasa Yoga Teacher - Annie Leguennec

I discovered my first yoga class 5 years ago at my local gym to release tension from my daily life, and I felt in love with it instantly. I also practiced Martial arts for several years. As a student and teacher of yoga I believe in building a constant practice with discipline self-study, and devotion.

I teach Vinyasa Yoga, incorporating alignment, and breathing. Vinyasa Yoga stands apart from most other forms of yoga because its main features are a constant physical activity and a heightened energy level. Vinyasa Yoga gives the body a balanced development of physical strength. Regular practice will help to free the muscular system allowing the skeleton to regain its correct alignment encouraging good posture and excellent body tone. I teach at the YMCA, I also teach Prenatal Yoga, and Gentle Yoga for seniors.

30 March 2008 - Yoga Teacher - Vickie Lew

In Boston, I studied hatha yoga for several years after my body cried, "help me!" For seven years, I was a student of Dahnhak and then became a full time yoga instructor with the organization. Currently, I teach this Korean form at the Bernal Heights Senior Program on Monday and Wednesday mornings.

This simple method works on stimulating our accuppressure system by tapping our bodies. We awaken our chakras with bouncing and shaking. In addition we naturally perform the traditional stretching and breathing we have come to know as yoga.

Come prepared to breathe, smile and enjoy noticiing the joy of moving your body. Suitable for any level student. Come with your open heart and mind.
