A2Yoga Newsletter: April 2009
World Renowned Yoga Teacher Simon Parks Comes To A2Yoga Sharing His Love For The Wonderful Practice Of Vinyasa Flow. Join Us On This Fantastic Journey!
Liquid Flow Candlelight Vinyasa – Friday May 8 from 6-8pm
Yoga to Restore Your Prana – A Candle Light Class – Enjoy a slowly developing, flowing sequence of postures that are restorative in nature, yet heart opening as well. Practice in a way that creates space in the joints and spine, and clams the nervous system.
The movements are similar to the way Tai-chi is practiced; slow methodical and meditative. We will work towards deep hip openers, liberating backbends, and quiet forward bends with restorative, supported inversions.
Surfing the Vinyasa Wave – Saturday Morning 10-12pm
Experience the latest evolution of Prana Vinyasa Flow: Dynamic Asana, Creative Flows, and Integrated Paranyama as a moving meditation that will tune and tone you from the inside out while giving you the tools for navigating life’s changes with grace, power, and confidence.
We will explore several vinyasa waves of multi-dimensional sequences-intelligently unfolding an evolution of movement meditation, fluid namaskars, backbends, arm balances and hip opening to understand the underlying flow of prana.
Body Enlightening- Saturday afternoon 4:30pm – 7:00pm
Experience a flowing blend of traditional Thai massage, partner yoga, and gravity-free bodywork. The sequence that we will practice as a group is easy to learn and very effective.
Also learn Yogic Flying, where a person is suspended from hands and feet while being assisted into yoga postures to create spinal freedom. Come alone or bring a friend to learn these amazingly fun and body enlightening moves!
To experience this wonderful workshop, reserve your space now!

Introducing Mysore Ashtanga to A2Yoga
We begin our early morning practice by greeting the sun with Suryaya Namasakra “Sun Salutations” to warm up the body, followed by standing, seated and finishing postures.
The early morning environment is quiet. The room is warm and lite with candles. If you are new to the Mysore practice or unsure about the specific sequence of postures, Janice will assist you.
After learning and practicing the Sun Salutations, students can learn more postures from Janice. Each time you practice Mysore Ashtanga, it is in a sequential order with focus on spinal alignment applying/practicing a one breath and one movement technique with vinyasa’s in between.
Please join us for your Yoga practice in the early morning on Tuesday’s arriving anytime between 5:30-7:30. You are all welcome.
Ashtanga Yoga is taught according to a traditional method called Mysore, named after the city in India where the most senior teacher, Sri. Pattabhis Jois resides and teaches.
