inversion swing that is used to relieve
compressed joints and to bring greater alignment
to the spine. Every class will explore a series
of postures meant to elicit a sense of
weightlessness while forming new relationships
with gravity. These classes are small, 4 - 6
students, and require preregistration.

A systematic approach
to learning and understanding the Ashtanga
Primary Series. Suitable for all levels, the
onlYoga Ashtanga Foundations series offers new
students a thorough and safe introduction to
learning the Ashtanga Vinyasa method while
building the strength and confidence necessary to
move into more advanced classes in the
studio. For more experienced practitioners,
the course provides a tool for reviewing and
strengthening the fundamental concepts that make
the Ashtanga form so dynamic. We recommend
new students start at the beginning of the 4 week
series, however, since this is an ongoing course
students can drop in for any of the 4 classes.
The
8 Limbs & Sun Salutations
Jan 10th, 2010
2:30PM-4:30PM
In this session we will discuss the history of Yoga in general and Ashtanga yoga in particular. Students will be introduced to the central themes of the practice including how to keep the mind steady through consistent use of the breath, Vinyasa and coordination of the body to the fluid nature of the breath, dynamic opposition of forces to create balance and alignment, the benefits of a consistent yoga practice and much much more...
The Standing Sequence
Jan 17th, 2010
2:30pm -4:30PM
In session two we will delve into the 13 postures of the Ashtanga standing sequence. We will go over each posture in detail. Students will be given an opportunity to explore each posture and then time will be spent answering questions. There will be additional focus on helping students grasp the importance of moving effectively from one posture to the next and how the sequence builds from simple to complex movement.
The Seated Sequence
Jan 31st, 2010
2:30PM-4:30PM
Session Three covers the extensive postures of the Ashtanga seated sequence - the Primary Series. The series is composed primarily of forward folds and side twists. Besides being introduced to each posture of the series, students will learn about jumping back and jumping forward. Time will also be spent on modifications for some of the more complex postures and answering questions.
Putting It All Together & Closing
Feb 7th, 2010
2:30PM-4:30PM
In this final meeting of the onlYoga Foundation Series we will put the pieces of the practice back together and spend time learning about how to move through a safe closing sequence. Students will be introduced to backbends and inversions.

The
Mala
A mala (Sanskrit for garland) is a meditation
tool, used to count the number
of mantra repetitions completed per sitting.
Mantra repetition using a mala
is an effective way of keeping your mind focused,
and can make meditation
more relaxing and soothing by relieving physical
tension.
Historically, malas have been used as a part of
an integrated spiritual
practice that may also contain hatha yoga.
A mala contains 108 beads and a larger "meru"
bead. The tassled "meru" bead
is symbolic of the transcended state, and
indicates the beginning and end of
a cycle. The significance of "108" is because the
Brahmand (universe) is
made up of 108 elements (and according to modern
scientific chemistry, the
universe is made up of more than 108 elements).
So 108 represents the
universe.

About Bryan
Now 45, Bryan Kest has been practicing yoga for more than 30 years. He initially studied in Hawaii with David Williams, the first person to bring Ashtanga yoga to America. He then studied in India with K. Pattabhi Jois, the main proponent of Ashtanga yoga. Kest has been teaching yoga for 26 years. "My primary objective", says Kest, "besides turning more and more people on to a healthier, more peaceful lifestyle that continually challenges them to grow, is to teach a system of exercise that fully integrates the body, mind, and spirit.
The new trend towards yoga is not surprising, given that the body is limited and the mind is limitless. The combination of body and mind creates an incredibly broad range of fulfillment, including top physical condition and a calm, peaceful, clear mind."
Please check back - Details About the Master Class with Bryan will be available in Early 2010

PRAISE FOR
The
Evolution of God:
"On any list of nonfiction authors that many
people may not know but should, Robert Wright
would rank high. . . . taken together,
The
Moral Animal, Nonzero,
and The Evolution of
God represent a powerful
addition to modern thought. If biology, culture
and faith all seek a better world, maybe there is
hope." (Wall
Street Journal
Gregg Easterbrook )
"Can religions in the modern world reconcile
themselves to one another, and can they reconcile
themselves to science?" Robert Wright-journalist,
philosophy professor, and author of the acclaimed
books Nonzero,
and The Moral
Animal-ardently believes
the answer is yes. In this meaty account, the
result of 10 years of scholarly research, he
attempts to do so, drawing on evolutionary
psychology, archaeology, and game theory to trace
a common pattern in the world's monotheistic
faiths. It's a thoroughly materialist account of
religion and yet is ultimately allied with one of
religion's basic goals: to provide guidance and
comfort in a chaotic world." (Seed
Magazine )
"[The Evolution of
God] gives me hope...The
tone of the book is dry skepticism with a dash of
humour; the content is supple, dense and
layered...fresh and necessary."
Product
Description
In this sweeping narrative that takes us from the
Stone Age to the Information Age, Robert Wright
unveils an astonishing discovery: there is a
hidden pattern that the great monotheistic faiths
have followed as they have evolved. Through the
prisms of archaeology, theology, and evolutionary
psychology, Wright's findings overturn basic
assumptions about Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam, and are sure to cause controversy. He
explains why spirituality has a role today, and
why science, contrary to conventional wisdom,
affirms the validity of the religious quest. And
this previously unrecognized evolutionary logic
points not toward continued religious extremism,
but future harmony.
Nearly a decade in the making, The Evolution of
God is a breathtaking re-examination of the past,
and a visionary look forward.
