Metaphor
Of Trancendence
The Foundation - Muladhara &
Swadhisthana
The
chakras are symbols in an ancient metaphorical
language. Their meaning pertains to the ever
evolving consciousness as it travels from one
frequency to another. The wheel, the spiral, the
flow of energy from one state to the next, the
symbols of the chakras innervate the subtle body
and bring about union with the universe at large.
In this workshop we will explore the shape, sound
and texture of the first two psychospiritual
"organs" -
Muladhara
root, red, earth, stillness &
Swadhisthana
emotion, sexuality, reproduction. This workshop
is the first in a series of four exploring the
chakras through metaphor, movement, visualization
and guided meditation.

Description
Intense,
powerful, and compelling, Matterhorn is an epic
war novel in the tradition of Norman Mailer's The
Naked and the Dead and James Jones's The Thin Red
Line. It is the timeless story of a young Marine
lieutenant, Waino Mellas, and his comrades in
Bravo Company, who are dropped into the mountain
jungle of Vietnam as boys and forced to fight
their way into manhood. Standing in their way are
not merely the North Vietnamese but also monsoon
rain and mud, leeches and tigers, disease and
malnutrition. Almost as daunting, it turns out,
are the obstacles they discover between each
other: racial tension, competing ambitions, and
duplicitous superior officers. But when the
company finds itself surrounded and outnumbered
by a massive enemy regiment, the Marines are
thrust into the raw and all-consuming terror of
combat. The experience will change them
forever.Written
over the course of thirty-five years by a highly
decorated Vietnam veteran, Matterhorn is a
visceral and spellbinding novel about what it is
like to be a young man at war. It is an
unforgettable novel that transforms the tragedy
of Vietnam into a powerful and universal story of
courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice: a parable
not only of the war in Vietnam but of all war,
and a testament to the redemptive power of
literature.
About
The Author
A
graduate of Yale University and a Rhodes Scholar
at Oxford University, Karl Marlantes served as a
Marine in Vietnam, where he was awarded the Navy
Cross, the Bronze Star, two Navy Commendation
Medals for valor, two Purple Hearts, and ten air
medals. His debut novel, Matterhorn, was
published in April 2010 by
Grove/Atlantic.

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.

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.
