Yoga for Runners
Workshop
Saturday, March 13
2 - 4 pm$35 + gst
Annika For runners and endurance athletes with or without yoga experience. In this 2 hour workshop, participants are led through yoga postures designed to strengthen and stretch key areas for runners, including: hamstrings, hips, core strength and breathing. Additionally, if participants have specific injuries or areas of concern those are worked on within the classes. The pain that runners experience is often not from the running itself, but from the imbalances that running can create within the body.

Dance of the 16
Goddesses
Saturday, March 20
2 - 6 pm$50 + gst
Zena This is a rare opportunity to learn the ancient 8th Century Dance of the Sixteen Goddesses"
For over 1,100 years this dance was secret, only for initiates. It is a form of moving meditation from Vajrayana Buddhism in Nepal, an offering dance with slow, regal movements and graceful hand positions (mudras) which transform the dancer into balanced energy. The objective is to change duality into non-duality, bringing peace to the dancer and to the observer. The music is from the 7th century and the sixteen dance postures represent supreme expressions of beauty.This very sacred dance is part of the Diamond Path to Enlightenment.
You will know in your heart if you are meant to learn it.
Zena is an International Advisor on the World Yoga Council of the International Yoga Federation, a senior teacher for the Yoga Association of Alberta and holds many yoga titles from India, including an Honourary Doctorate of Dance and Nritya Yogini (Dancing Yogini)
