 This workshop, instructed by Tania Love, will use the ground of gentle yoga practice, breath, meditation and drawing with sumi ink to still our minds and cultivate sensitivity and spaciousness within our being.
We'll explore different drawing techniques that engage with sumi ink's fluid properties that respond to breath, water, rhythm and language of movement.
In particular we'll learn about "suminagashi", a traditional Japanese technique where ink drawings are made floating on water. This method was used to create the "cell structures" installation by Tania Love at The Big Stretch Yoga Centre.
Sumi ink is a beautiful rich ink made by collecting soot from the burning of sesame oil, grape seed oil, pine wood or other natural substances.
Absolutely no experience is necessary. Materials are included in the workshop fee. 2:00 - 4:30 pm, $45 + HST.
Tania has been teaching yoga and working as a visual artist for over a decade. While giving guidance to deepen the practice she opens a quiet space for personal reflection.

 Enjoy a gentle, candlelit yoga class lead by Joanne Lowe and accompanied by Nada Yogi Ram Vakkalanka.
Ram is also a Kirtan leader, Yoga philosopher and Sanskrit expert. Ram was introduced to Sitar in his teens and studied the instrument for seven years in India. Later, he came under the tutelage of Prof. Shambhu Das, a senior disciple of the world renowned Sitar Maestro Ravi Shankar, and received advanced training in Sitar for six more years. Ram's spiritual Guru - Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji - inititated him into the ancient art of Raga Ragini Vidya and using Vibrations for healing purposes.
In Ram's hands, the musical notes become Mantras and create a vibrant, energetic and peaceful ambiance. During his 'Nada Yoga Meditation with Sitar' sessions, Ram uses the sacred Vibrations of ancient Ragas to clear energy blocks, balance the Chakras and induce inner healing. Two albums of his healing and meditation music have been released so far...'Sitar by the ocean' and 'Nada Kusuma'...both of which are used by many Yoga and meditation teachers during their sessions.
Ram conducts Nada Yoga healing and meditation music concerts throughout North America at Yoga studios and Retreat centers and presented Sitar music at many music festivals including the prestigious Stratford Summer Music Festival.
For a video of Ram explaining the art and science of Nada Yoga, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6IzY0P7I1Y. To find out more about Ram or see sample videos of his concerts, please visit his website at www.aksharayoga.com.

 Buddha said: "With your thoughts, you create the world."
Join Stephen for three meditation classes where you will learn simple techniques of walking and sitting meditation, plus, a broader understanding of the effect our thoughts and corresponding emotions have on sustaining our connection to Joy, Love and Appreciation of All That Is. Their effect on our daily lives will also be discussed at each class. Meditation is also the path to Inner Stillness where we can experience our true state of JOY, LOVE AND EASE.
Meditation is a process that the Buddha taught 2,600 years ago. Meditation was designed to bring awareness to our thoughts and emotions and how they effect our current reality.
Stephen has been on many meditation retreats and for the past ten years has been practising Insight Meditation (mindfulness) as taught by the Buddha, from the Theravada tradition. He currently is investigating the "Teachings of Abraham" as taught by Esther and Jerry Hicks. He has worked since 1989 as a reflexologist and has been meditating for the past 25 years. Stephen also has background in other forms of meditation and body work, such as, Shiatsu, Reiki and Yoga and has been teaching meditation for the past 15 years.

 The Mala, a string of 108 beads crafted of wood, stone, crystal or rudrasksha seed, was conceived of in the Buddhist and Hindu traditions as a meditation aid, designed to act as an anchor that combats the mind's natural tendency to wander.
In week one, you will create your own japa mala (materials provided) - lovingly created with your own blessings or kind words. As each bead is strung, you may chant your own blessing and each time you meditate with the aid of the mala beads, you imbue it with your devotion, your love and your hopes. When your mala becomes an integral part of your meditation practice, simply touching it will still the soul and quiet the mind, preparing you to slip easily into a transcendent state.
In weeks two and three you will utitilize your new mala within your yoga practice of meditation and asana.
