Description

Everything in Life is for Your Awakening: Staying Heart-Centered in Challenging Times Choose this option if you would like to attend VIRTUALLY (VIA ZOOM). This 4-part session is for all. No yoga experience is required. Life is difficult - how can you practice yoga and stay heart-centered amidst these challenging times? Well, actually, how can you not practice yoga? Now more than ever, it’s necessary to have a spiritual practice, a community, and the commitment to keep the fire of your longing for a better world and your hope alive. This is why Todd Norian, internationally-acclaimed yoga teacher and founder of Ashaya Yoga, is coming to Conner Prairie for a weekend in March, 2023: to gather with like-minded yogis to uplift, inspire, and deepen our longings to create a world of peace, kindness, compassion, respect, and love. Open Sky Bask in Your Vastness - Part 1 Friday, March 17, 2023, 7-9:30 PM Open your sky element. “Akasha,” Sanskrit for space or sky, is the highest and most subtle of the five elements. It’s the space within which all other elements exist. Recognize that you live within this vast and unbounded freedom of the sky that is filled with all possibilities. Practice includes warm-ups, standing poses, hip openers, backbends, forward bends, twists, and savasana (relaxation). Engage Earth - Become Grounded in Who You Are - Part 2 Saturday, March 18, 2023, 10 AM-12:30 PM Ground yourself in the earth element. “Prithvi,” Sanskrit for earth, is the most solid and limited of the five elements. Yet it is filled with consciousness. Earth is the sky condensed. Ground yourself in the reality of who you are. Practice includes warm-ups, standing poses, balancing poses, core strengtheners, backbends, and savasana. Water and Fire - Flow with What You Truly Desire - Part 3 Saturday, March 18, 2023, 2-4:30 PM Align your water and fire elements. “Ap,” Sanskrit for water, and “Agni,” Sanskrit for fire, interweave together to form a powerful blend of nectar and intensity. Water always flows back to the source. It soothes and invites us to feel our feelings with acceptance and grace. Fire purifies our purpose and is a powerful force of longing for freedom amidst challenges. Practice includes warm-ups, hip openers, leg stretches, forward bends, twists, and yoga nidra (yogic sleep), which is a wonderful, deeply nourishing, guided journey in savasana with visualization, meditation, and deep reflection. Expand Your Dreams Into Fullness - Breathe Your Dreams into Reality - Part 4 Sunday, March 19, 2023, 10 AM-12:30 PM Expand your air element. “Vayu,” Sanskrit for air, is your capacity to expand beyond previously held limits and to let go of what no longer serves you. You begin with the fire element to re-ignite your passion, then use that energy to expand your reach and envision and create the world in which you want to live. Practice includes warm-ups, deep core work, hip openers, backbends, twists, and a deep savasana to integrate all five elements.
