Bring Your Yoga to Life with Sarahjoy Marsh
Friday Sept 25-Sunday Sept 27
The human mind develops patterns of conditioned response from its first moments. In this weekend, we’ll explore the Six Stations of the Mind, including the ways in which these mental orientations develop in response to life events, both nurturing and non-nurturing, and how to re-create the skillful means of each of the six stations. The six stations include Self-Other, Past-Future, and Aversion-Grasping. Healthy manifestations develop our intra-personal leadership, also called agency and individuation, as well as our interpersonal capacities for compassion, collaboration, diversity, and respect. Using yoga tools, including asana, pranayama, mindfulness, and meditation, we’ll explore the development of healthy agency, volition, clarity, perspective, stewardship, and collaboration.
Fee for entire weekend workshop $180
Workshops are open to all and can be APA CE approved.
The last two sessions are especially relevant for Yoga
Therapy Teachers, Students, Mental Health Therapists
and Addiction Counselors.

• Yoga with the Brain in Mind
Saturday | 9/26 | 2:00-5:00 pm | $60
Understanding the left brain - right brain hemisphere coordination and the elegance of the triune brain informs our understanding of cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes for our students and clients and enables us to make trauma-sensitive decisions. Specific yoga practices, including breathing, movement, mindfulness, and mantra, will be taught to develop the tool kit for teachers and therapists. You will leave with an understanding of how left and right brain modes can be encouraged and wisely integrated into yoga classes and with an ability to direct triune brain (reptilian, limbic, and neo-cortex) processes for lessening nervous system hyper or hypo arousal, developing resilience, and assuring students and clients that they too can empower such shifts on their own behalf.
• Yoga for Addiction and Recovery
Sunday | 9/27 | 10:00 am-1:00 pm | $60
Addiction is a process of relief-seeking behaviors designed more subconsciously than consciously, often beginning with brain processes developed earlier in life, reflecting a primal urge to both meet needs and survive painful dis-regulation, and that unexpectedly takes over a person’s life and interrupt their personal leadership. Addiction can range from substance to behavior to thought to activities. Addiction attempts to alleviate pain, overwhelm, angst, or anxiety or depression. It deepens rather than relieves suffering (but offers just enough temporary relief from such suffering). Yoga is a self-development process empowering students to re-gain personal leadership over their thoughts and behaviors, balances brain chemistry thereby lessening anxiety or depression, and teaches the essential life skills of recovery from pain, trauma, or addiction. Recovery through yoga is the process of courageously, wisely, compassionately re-inhabiting your 360-degree life, a life that can encompass a wide range of human expression, potential, and love

I loved being able to do yoga in Yelapa - especially those early morning classes up in the Sky Temple, with the sun rising and the chorus of tropical birds and that clean, clean air.
