Weekend Anusara Shri-Shop 
Truckee/Tahoe
at Tahoe Yoga and Wellness Center
January 28 - 30, 2011
Friday, January 28: 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Saturday, January 29: 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Sunday, January 30, 9:30 - 12:00 pm

This was so much fun last year.  It turned into a mini-retreat for many of us and meeting the Tahoe kula was simply wonderful.  Such a wonderful winter celebration.  There will be plenty of yoga, time for skiing, snow-shoeing, game playing, kula dinners, laughter and just plain ole' hanging out in the snow!

January 28, Friday, 6:00 - 8:00pm
The Sadhana of Ananda (The Practice of Bliss)
Bliss is the very nature of your own inner Self.  It is not seasonal; nor conditional; it is not gifted to you only during yoga class or when you do something great. It is your birthright and the essence of every living being. Therefore, The Sadhana of Ananda is the practice of connecting with your own self. In this Shri-Shop, we will practice seeking and experiencing our natural blissful-state through a variety of fun poses for all levels.
 
January 29, Saturday, 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
The Sadhana of Love (Love as a practice)
Love in its purest essence it so potent that it cannot be grabbed, captured or transported. Yoga is the technology that allows us to give love form. Gandhi said, “a coward is incapable of exhibiting love. That is the prerogative of the brave.” With great courage and ferocity, we will open our hearts with beautiful backbends and give love form through our asana and our sadhana (practice).
 
January 30, Sunday, 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
The Sadhana of Svatantrya (The Practice of Freedom)
In order to experience true Bliss and true Love, we must be free from that which keeps us from really knowing our highest Self. When the ego is willing to be cleaned out and therefore free, no moment can be sweeter, no moment can be filled with more joy or be more loving.  Dance with Svatantrya as we move through hip-openers, twists and a few arm balances.

To coordinate housing, driving, group meals and kula fun, please visit and use this: Facebook page.
