How to Develop a Personal Yoga Practice Workshop

This workshop will teach you how to start or invigorate an existing home practice so that you can experience the many benefits of yoga beyond the classroom. It will provide a step-by-step framework within which to develop your practice each day, asana cards for reference and learning, handouts for reinforcing key principles and concepts, and sample sequences to jumpstart your nascent efforts. Expect lively group discussions and ideas for eliminating the many physical, mental, and emotional obstacles. Appropriate for beginning yoga students as well as more experienced students who are not yet consistent in a home practice. $50

If you are interested in attending this workshop this summer, send an email. Date will be announced if enough students are interested in a summer workshop.

Revitalizing Health Through Inner Strength
Pelvic Floor Workshop for Women by Susanne Kemmerer

Susanne will first assess particular needs of the students. She will then introduce and elaborate on her unique approach to revitalize the health through inner strength originating from what the Japanese call Hara and the Yogis call Mula Bandha.

Her unique method involves a hands-on approach to greater understanding of the three layers of the pelvic floor, including how to access each layer, and apply that understanding to yoga postures as well as to daily life.

Over the last twelve years this approach has shown remarkable success in dealing with various challenges in men and women with regard to:

• Lower back problems
• SI Joint pain
• Hip joint pain
• Neck problems
• Incontinence
• Descending organs
• Post delivery issues

Susanne’s work readily dovetails with Ramanand Patel’s work on mula bandha. Cost is $180. Limited to 25 participants.

To register, mail your check made payable to AHA to Ancient Healing Arts, PO Box 735, Lebanon, NH 03766.

Private Yoga Sessions available with
Ramanand Patel & Susanne Kemmerer

Ramanand and Susanne will be in the Upper Valley four days before and two days after the Pelvic Floor Workshop in September. If you are interested in either progressing your practice with a private with Ramanand or learning more about pelvic floor strengthening with Susanne, you can schedule a 30-minute or 60-minute private session with either one of them. They will be offering these privates at Jill’s home studio in Cornish Flat, NH. on September 3, 4, 5 and 8, 2008. The cost is $75 for a half-hour session.

To schedule a private, please contact Jill at 603-442-9540 or by email.
