with Dalien aka 13 Hands
Thursdays this summer  7:30 – 9:15 pm
May 30th, June 27th, July 25th, Aug, 29th

Dalien will be back with a special summer residency program exploring all the various relationships between asana, chakra and mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health.  Dalien is kind of a modern day, “Humpty Dumpty”, as he rebuilt his life from Crohns and various endocrine system struggles through the application and integration of yoga, chakra organ understanding, natural living, organic and raw foods, acupuncture, ayurveda, chiropractic, shamanism and a host of other “outside the box”, energy/healing based methods to reclaim his health and life on all levels.

These workshops will explore the organ and chakra relationships of what the poses are truly doing for your overall health and “behind the scenes” inside your body.  There will be various approaches explored in the postures for each chakra along with discussion and experiential, “energy” exercises to demonstrate the emotional and personality dynamics related to each chakra. Other areas include intuition, astrology, reflexology, nutrition and divination
exploration as to create stronger bonds of trust with your body and show you first hand, how it communicates with you and can guide you to intuitively pay more attention to what might be going on.

Yes, there will be sound meditation at the end of each workshop with the usual array of hypnotic and healing instruments to relax you!!!!

Hope you can come out to this very informative, life affirming and health balancing series!

Cost: Each workshop is $25,  All Four workshops are $80 – paid in advance/Pre-reg
