Spring Equinox Kundalini Yoga Workshop

This is the third in a series of four planned workshops in Kundalini Yoga, which will center around the shift of the seasons, and their relationship to the yogic philosophy and cycles of life.

Making a Sacred Wand, Saturday, February 26, with Adhi Two Owls

In many western spiritual traditions, the wand is the physical and symbolic representation of the human will. It is the tool of manifestation. The element most associated with the wand is "fire", and its center in the body is the solar plexus.

In this one-day workshop participants will make a wand out of wood and various other materials. You will also learn about different woods, metals and symbols that you can incorporate into your wand to make it an effective tool for manifesting, healing, and transforming all manner of things. As with all magical and spiritual tools, you will also learn traditional and contemporary ways to use and work with your wand.

Cost: $45.00 plus a $15.00 material fee

Bring to class: Your journal and a yoga mat and/or blanket to sit/lie on, ½ yard of silk (any color) to wrap your finished wand in. Copal resin for offering.

Ice again! No Yoga This Morning...

This winter has been an icy one so far, hasn't it?  We're expecting freezing rain and sleet and snow to continue falling until sometime tomorrow, so it could be quite a mess.  Or maybe not, who knows what the weather will bring?

This morning, though, we know that the roads are icy, so there will not be an 8:30 Kundalini Yoga class this morning.
