Chakra Vinyasa workshop at Mindful Yoga Studio of Tucson
Sunday, Sept 30, 9 AM–noon
Experience an integrative approach to the chakra system and the elemental and energetic principles that correspond within vinyasa and the flow of life, freeing the prana to travel through the whole body. This morning sadhana will support the grounding of your first chakra and rise through the core to the infinite consciousness of the crown. There will be an overview of chakra philosophy, and sequences that work to enliven the seven sacred centers by integrating asana, chanting, mediation and pranayama. Whether you are new to this system or are seasoned with the centers within the subtle energy body, this practice is a personal gateway to continued self-discovery. Each student will have the opportunity to center into deeper relationship with self, patterns of behavior in body, heart, mind and spirit.
Making Your Practice Personal/Spice Up Your Sequencing at Mindful Yoga Studio of Tucson
Saturday, Oct 13 1PM-4PM
In this group class we will begin the foundational work of creating a personal home practice and cultivating sequences to meet your physical and energetic needs. We will workshop how to begin structuring your yoga practice and create sequences to develop overall balance for your unique needs.

In the creation of your own practices you will have the opportunity to learn much about yourself and become more attuned to your seasons and cycles. The afternoon will be an exploratory journey, and an inspiration to fall more deeply in love in dedication to your SELF! This class is more suitable for those who have at least one year of supported practice with a teacher.
Taking Your Practice Deeper: Yoga Group Process for Women at Mindful Yoga Studio Tucson
Tuesdays October 23, 30, November 6, 13
6-8:30 pm
This 4-week series will involve facilitated practices of body/mind integration, with an emphasis on individual self-awareness regarding your tendencies of body/mind states. To know this inner wisdom we must quiet our mental chatter and free our energetic and physical body from its entanglements and obstructions. Come prepared to move for an hour of Yoga asana – yin and yang sequences, breath work and meditation, followed by 90 minutes of group processing as we become curious about what arises while on the yoga mat. Groups offer a unique environment to expand compassion and a deepened sense of universality, while offering the opportunity to deepen your relationship with yourself. This group is being offered as a tool for deepening your personal evolution. To create a supportive, non-judgmental environment, space is limited and group participants will be selected through an initial interview.

I am raising funds specifically for Tucson’s “Camp Born This Way” which provides a safe and sacred experience for gender creative and transgender youth, ages 5 -12 and their families. Camp Born This Way is a four-day, three-night residential camp experience held in southern Arizona.This Camp was a dream for the mom of a gender creative “princess boy”, imagined over a year ago. The first camp took place last year and we are hoping to raise enough to hold camp again this Labor Day Weekend. This opportunity allows gender-creative, transgender and questioning youth, along with their families, an opportunity to experience a weekend free from bullying, harassment and judgment. Additionally, this camp seeks to strengthen the support networks available to these families beyond this one magical weekend.
A 2011 National School Climate Survey conducted by GLSEN of 7,856 middle and high school students, found that nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT students experienced harassment at school in the past year and nearly two-thirds felt unsafe because of their sexual orientation or gender expression. Camp Born This Way seeks to give parents the tools to support their children, while simultaneously giving the children an opportunity to spend time with others who are just like them, which helps them feel less alone in the world. The kids feels free to “be who they are”, dancing, wearing dressup, putting on fashion shows and also just having regular camp experiences like hiking, swimming, and nightly campfires.
Please donate with your energy, your Spirit and your funds however you can. Download a sponsor sheet here, or come on by the Shala for a yoga class and drop your donations off to me as I work to raise money for our local community.
