AcroYoga Lunar Immersion with Bonnie Argo

Saturday, June 22nd-Wednesday, June 26th

The Lunar Immersion focuses on the healing, relaxing practices of Thai Massage and Therapeutic Flying. The Lunar Asana sequence teaches basic body mechanics with a focus on self-love cultivation, in preparation for the dance of Thai Massage. The techniques learned on the floor are then translated to the flying work, using the element of gravity to amplify the healing flow of prana (life force). Everyone will have the opportunity to base and fly, heal and be healed. This training offers invaluable tools for yoga teachers and massage therapists, who wish to develop a new dimension of healing touch.

7:00-9:00pm: Breathe In… Bliss Out: Conscious Relaxation and Yoga Nidra

Loaded with adrenalin and stress, most of us can easily accelerate from 0-60 in a heartbeat. But do you know how to decelerate from 60-0 effectively without crashing? This workshop breaks down the mechanics of “down-regulation” before your body has a “breakdown.” Learn how to breathe correctly with sedating exercises from yoga, body therapy, meditation, and self-massage. You will un-bind muscular tension, relieve anxiety and enter into a profound state of sleep. Come learn the age defying secrets of Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep", and master the art of “Blissing Out.”

Price: $40 in advance, $45 at the door!

Saturday, November 9th

9:00am-12:00pm: Core Integration: A Total Abdominal Awakening

The Respiratory Diaphragm is a governing muscle of core stability, agility and neurological balance. Any core practice that does not account for the function and physiology of this muscle is under-serving the performance and yoga-based body. Through embodied anatomy exercises, learn to analyze the strength, flexibility and range of motion of this muscle in yourself and your students. You will simultaneously deconstruct and build new kinetic chains in your torso and relate them to a bigger picture of conscious breathing, spinal integrity, digestion, emotion and newfound realms of somatic awakening. You'll also make a special excursions into Uddiyana Bandha, the spellbinding Nauli Kriya and their relationship to gut health, and physiological prowess.

Price: $55 in advance, $65 at the door!

1:30-4:30pm: Shoulder Shape Up: Downward Dog Makeover

The shoulder girdle is one of the most complicated joint systems in our body. Uncover areas of entrapment and kinetic confusion so that the muscles, joints, and connective tissues re-pattern to create a "new normal." Awaken dormant strength and stretch routes through every conceivable direction of movement of the shoulders and arms until they are brought back into physiological balance. Learn a proven rotator cuff release technique that assists new awakenings for a better fitting DownDog and pain-free movement.
