Yoga Spirituality By The Numbers: Dyads, Triads, Quads, and Pentads

WEDs Jan 11 & Jan 25 @ 11 am – 1 pm CST

Join Gabriel and explore yoga spirituality through the numeric framework, investigating sets of twos, threes, fours, and fives and how they fit into an overview of yoga practice and perspective. Gabriel’s dharma discourses will point out how the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Yoga Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita explicate the wisdom found in categories of numerical ordering. Each session will include asanas that reflect vinyasa krama, poses that have two, three, four, or five variations linked together with breath.

You are welcome to join live on the Zoom or by recording.

Yoga, Aging and Inner Beauty

SAT Jan 28 @ 1:30 – 4:30 pm

Ahimsa Yoga Studio – Elmhurst, IL

Yoga has its own spin on what keeps a person beautiful inside and out. Aging begins with deficiency rather than years. The practice offers sage advice: rules for living and techniques to fend off deterioration.
This workshop will explore poses and sequences that strengthen the immune system, the body’s most resilient and capable organ of self-protection. Yoga asanas will be explained, demonstrated, instructed, and corrected.
Gabriel’s dharma talk embraces the philosophy that honors each season of life, creating a mindset that makes one look forward to becoming an elder. You’ll leave the workshop accepting and loving the part of yourself that is
ever-youthful.

Pranayama Immersion with Gabriel

SAT Feb 4 @ 1 pm CST
SUN Feb 5 @ 4 pm CST

Each session will begin with restorative poses to strengthen the nervous and immune systems and increase oxygenation and circulation to all parts of our body. Mastering these poses confer flexibility, calm, and mental steadiness which are pre-requisites for working with our breath. Yoga teaches what is easy, safe, and effective. Part 1 on Saturday, February 4, 2023, will concentrate on the basics of supine breath awareness techniques, as well mudras and bandhas.
Part 2 on Sunday, February 5, 2023, will expand the practice to seated digital pranayama and kumbhakas. Techniques will be explained, demonstrated, observed and corrected. Yoga is the best antidote for being burnt out, out-of-sync with your own life rhythm, fluctuating back and forth between being anxious or depressed. If you want to leave with peace of mind, come to this class. Gabriel will share the mystical physiology of kundalini yoga and the 7 chakras and how they represent the evolution of consciousness from individual to universal awareness.
