11:15 am - 12:30 pm   One plus One equals One
This yoga class focuses on relationship. Create the art of asana with a partner. The postures will be practiced individually and with each other.

Explore the union of the intimate self, other and the One.

12:30 - 2:00 pm  Lunch

2:00 - 3:45 pm  Lucid Dreams: The Union of Waking and Dreaming
A lucid dream occurs when you are aware that you are dreaming while in the dream state. An incredible sense of freedom and exhilaration awaits the lucid dreamer. We will discuss the techniques that promote lucidity (sattva) and practice them Saturday night. John and his dream students will relate their lucid dream experiences and discuss the dreaming experiences of the workshop participants as well. He has found that bringing our dream awareness into union with our waking  awareness completes the continuum of consciousness.

Other influential teachers include Godfrey Devereux/Dynamic Yoga, Darren Rhodes and John Friend/Anusara Yoga, Lilias Folan and Sam Dworkis who taught Guy that "less is more".

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 27   9:00 am - 5:00 pm
9:00 - 10:15 am  Rhythmic Yoga
Begin the day with live music! Move from the quiet introspection of meditation and pranayama (breathing) into the spontaneous flow of postures that follow. Enjoy the enchanting sounds of the harmonium, percussion with chanting, drums, didjeridoo and Native American flute. Connect to your innate inner rhythm that's always there, on your mat and off your mat, in your life.
Instructor: Marcia Galleher

10:30 - 11:45 am  Discovering the Root
The pelvis is the foundation of all aspects of body alignment- standing, sitting and moving. Our hips hold great power....remember Elvis?! This complex system that balances the weight of our torso, head and arms, is also the seat of the root chakra, the kundalini energy. Learn to integrate the legs and spine through the gateway of the pelvis so that the strength of the lower body supports the flowering of the breath, heart and mind.
Instructor: Carolyn Minor

Carolyn Minor
Through 20 years of professional dance training and performing internationally, Carolyn has always practiced yoga. Five years ago, she received her national yoga certification through The Yoga Connection (Swami Mahatarananda) in Tucson. Residing in Tucson, Carolyn teaches hatha yoga, meditation and workshops that focus on harmonizing the energies of the physical body with that of spirit to heal and uplift us.

11:45 am - 1:15 pm Lunch

1:15 - 2:45 pm  Exploration of Energy Movement with the Didjeridoo
Michael and Annette will discuss the primordial sound and healing properties of the didjeridoo, a wind instrument used for centuries by Australian aboriginal clans. The soothing vibration and resonant harmonics opens the chakras allowing an increased flow of healing energy and awareness. This interactive workshop will allow each student to experience the healing affect of the didjeridoo while practicing yoga postures, sitting in the lotus position or just relaxing.
Instructors: Michael Cummings and Annette Weems

Michael Cummings and Annette Weems
Michael and Annette were brought together through the healing power of the didjeridoo. They recognized the strength of the didjeridoo's sound and vibration through their experiences of past Shamanic journeys, out-of-body travel and lucid states of awareness. They have brought the didjeridoo to meditation groups, yoga classes and work with clients on a private basis. Their intent is to spread awareness of the powerful vibrational space the didjeridoo creates and accessing it for personal healing and enlightenment.

3:00 - 4:15 pm Vigorous Yoga
In many ways astanga yoga is like a martial arts form; a choreographed sequence which through repetition, builds strength, balance and flexibility. In this workshop we will do the sun salutations, all the standing poses and some of the seated poses and inversions from the "primary series" of astanga. Bring your mat and an adventurous spirit!
Instructor: Susan Zagorski

Susan Zagorski
Susan Zagorski's practice of eight years is a reflection of the wonderful teachers she studied with in Chicago; Daren Friesen of Moksha Yoga, Tom Quinn of Yoga View and Nancy Lanoue, martial arts instructor and her "teacher of teaching". Susan's instruction is also influenced by a teacher training course given by Erich Schiffmann. For the last two years, Susan has been offering 'vigorous yoga' classes in Bisbee and is grateful to the many adventurous students who have joined her. Susan does her own practice every morning, facing the sun, in her desert straw bale home.
