Workshops
Partner Yoga Workshop For Couples
This workshop offers a unique sequence of partner-based Yoga postures. It is designed to enrich and enhance the loving energy flow within you and your partner. Partner Yoga is a unique physical and spiritual practice, which combines techniques and exercises from yoga and massage. It helps in feeling a more soulful sense of partnership and romance.
This workshop is formulated for intimate partners but is not exclusive to those who want to learn more and explore the realms of Partner Yoga. It will also include some Thai massage/yoga poses. Enjoy a healthy, playful, and life-affirming practice that you can take home and share together.
Bhakti Yoga Workshop
In this workshop participants will explore the essence of Bhakti Yoga-the Path of Love and Devotion-as felt by Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda. Singing together, we will connect with sacred songs and mantras in Sanskrit (the ancient prayer language of India), Gurmukhi (Sikh written language), and English. Participants will learn translations and meanings about various mantras and deities, and will also be lead in guided visualizations for deepening their Bhakti practice. Included will be Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda's own insight into the healing effects of these sacred chants.
"Bhakti Yoga is the path of personal relationship with Spirit, with God, with Goddess; a relationship that includes all the flavors and moods of the human heart. In the journey of Bhakti our emotions become the fuel to reconnect us with the Divine and to find healing and wholeness within us. Through singing Kirtan we explore, express and share the deepest caverns of our souls and ultimately find the eternal spring of love." Jai Uttal
Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Workshop for Heart Centered Living – with live music
This workshop will be a unique blend of Kundalini yoga and meditation with live music by Ananda and Jaya Lakshmi. It is designed to open the heart and tap into one’s infinite creative potential. Through this workshop participants will gain tools to live an inspired and fulfilled life that overflows with bliss and abundance.
Kundalini Yoga uses movement, sound current, breath and meditation to relax and heal your mind and body, allowing the spirit to flow freely. This powerful and effective form of Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D., Master of Kundalini Yoga, is a way to recharge and heal your body quickly. By stimulating the various systems of the body, it centers the mind, balances one's energy fields and opens the spirit. It is especially effective for stress, addiction, depression and insomnia, as well as weight control.
Cacao Ceremony
Since ancient times, cacao has been used ceremonially to connect with that infinite presence of love. Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda's Cacao ceremonies are a coming together to open the heart, express creatively and rejoice with the spirit of the cacao. Accompanied by their weaving of heart songs, it will be a time to express gratitude for the cacao spirit and allow for that spirit to blossom infinite possibilities within you.
The Cacao that will be used is a very special type that was personally selected by a cacao shaman for it's energetic qualities. It comes from Guatemala, the heartland of the Mayan people who have used it for millennia. The ceremony will be a wonderful time to learn about cacao's origins, history, health benefits and energetic/spiritual qualities.
Let's celebrate a new way of coming together and rejoicing in the love of the infinite spirit. Melt into a unique ceremony that will expand your heart to new levels.
