Spring Cleansing Urban Retreat with Dina Amsterdam
Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th May, 2008
Enjoy a profound Spring cleansing for your whole being in this rare opportunity to embark on a deep yogic retreat in an Urban setting. Dina will guide you in a weekend (Friday night is optional) of inward practice that will bring a sweet harmony and spacious luminosity to your body-mind-heart. Through a combination of Yin yoga, slow mindful vinyasa, agni (fire) stimulation, and tantric breath and meditation practices you will clear out stagnation and cultivate awakening. The physical, mental, emotional and energetic aspects of your nature will be grateful for the vibrant replenishment and kind attention they will be receiving. This urban retreat, though deep, will be gentle and appropriate for all levels of practitioners....

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, stressed out, or overwhelmed? Are you seeking greater peace, clarity, self-compassion and self-awareness? In this workshop, we teach the theory and practice of stress-reduction and self-healing based on the mind-body practices of yoga and mindfulness meditation. Integrating classical psychotherapy principles and ancient mind-body approaches, this workshop begins to outline a practical philosophy for skillful living that helps generate freedom, vitality, and fulfillment.
A Week of Morning Mysore Ashtanga Yoga at Om Factory
A 5 Day Journey, May 19th-25th, 2008
6.45 - 9.00am, Doors open at 6.30am
I think I was probably dropping back into kapotasana (or was I jumping to handstand?) in Paul Gruen's class when he said, "Elise, you've got to check out Om Factory." I am so glad I did! This place has a unique blend of spirit, soul, and spunk that you just won't find anywhere else. I am so very honored to help pioneer an ashtanga program at Om Factory!
My main practice is Mysore style ashtanga yoga, and I’m excited to share thisamazing yoga tradition with Om Factory. May 19th-23rd you can join me for a week of morning Mysore at Om Factory’s “5-Day Yoga Journey” where you can explore the many aspects of the ashtanga yoga practice. At the very least, you'll have a week of mindfulness that hopefully will help manifest a little bit more joy into this world. Check out this video clip from a recent Ashtanga workshop at Om Factory.
