Certified Anusara Teacher Lois Nesbitt this June 19-21st!!!

Anusara Workshop with Lois Nesbitt

June 19-21, 2009 
Yoga Dublin Studios welcomes Lois Nesbitt for a joyous weekend of Anusara yoga, just in time for the summer solstice! We’ll celebrate the light within by invoking Ganesha, India’s lovable, elephant-headed deity—who always urges to be the best of who we already are!  Then we’ll dive into Anusara yoga’s powerful (and simple!) techniques to align from heart to hands. Expand your capacity to go inward and outward at the same time, becoming a true yogi of the world! 
 
Ganesha: Draw in, Shine out!

Friday 19 June 18.00-21.00

All levels 
Ganesha, India’s beloved elephant-headed deity, stands in the doorway, the border between inner and outer worlds. Ganesha thus reaches out to householder yogis (those of us with jobs, relationships, homes), as we balance our devotion to yoga’s inner quest with our full worldly lives.  We’ll play with drawing into our core to connect to ourselves, then expand back out to touch the world.  You can have it all! 
Ganesha: Dancing on the Midline!

Saturday 20 June 10:00-13:00

All levels 
Ganesha lives on the threshold between inner and outer worlds, past and future, known and unknown, expansion and contraction—just like us! We’ll explore the midline from all perspectives: the muscles and physical actions that help us hug the midline in our asana, creating strength and stability, and what it means to live from our core. Feel how this crucial Anusara yoga principle transforms your practice! 
Lighten Your Load! Shoulder Therapeutics

Saturday 20 June 14 .30-17.00

All levels, including those of you with shoulder injuries! 

Many of us move around as though we carried the weight of the world on our shoulders. Gravity, poor posture, even unskillful yoga can lead to stiffness, pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in this critical area, as well as causing problems for the neck, elbows, wrists, and lower back.  Learn how Anusara yoga’s Universal Principles of Alignment can heal and prevent injuries!  This session will include asana practice, simple exercises, and hands-on adjustments to restore your upper body to its optimal form.  
All levels welcome.

*Note: we’ll carry the principles explored here into Sunday morning’s practice; sign up for both and really get to the heart of the matter! 

Wings of the Heart!

Sunday 21 June 10am - 13.00

Intermediate/Advanced Practice 

The arms and hands are the wings of the heart—the bridge through which we reach out to give and to receive, to embrace the world.  Yet poor shoulder alignment often blocks the energy flow from heart to hand, from shoulder blades to fingertips.  Discover how Anusara’s Universal Principles of Alignment can open those channels, creating the perfect balance of stability and mobility. This lively practice will include inversions, arm balances, and backbends.  

Intermediate and advanced students without major injuries in the shoulders, arms and hands are welcome.

*Note: we will build on the techniques explored in Saturday’s Shoulder Therapeutics, so best (but not required!) if you can attend both sessions. 
 
Prices: €45 one module/€80 two/€155 all four modules.

RAYS OF LOVE ALL AROUND

 This week-end brought the arrival of Certified Anusara teacher Sianna Sherman to for her first visit to Yoga Dublin. Sianna is an international yoga instructor with Yoga Journal listing her as one of the top 20 influencial teachers of our time. We were incredibly lucky to have her visit and share with us her knowledge, insight and wisdom in a one day workshop. 

The workshop was at capacity, the energy buzzing and Sianna took us all on a wonderful ride of igniting the flame of our hearts.  Sianna dedicated the morning session to her teacher, the late Irish Poet John Odonohue. She shared her story of studying with him in Ireland and how he shifted her heart to open more to love. Through reading his poem from the book 'Anam Cara' she inspired us to move in our practice with a deep sense of who we are and to move with love.    

 "Moving with love makes one do exciting new things!" Sianna assisting Darcy.


With the rare Irish sun making a full appearance we decided to start the afternoon session outside at Dartmouth park. A beautiful community park that has just been re-opened and is lovingly being tended to by Peter Obrien and friends. We as a yoga community came together and stood on the earth, dug our toes in, held hands and felt the rays of love all around. The practice was dedicated to John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga whose birthday is at the end of this month. We supported one another through rounds of drop-backs, feeling the hands of grace (and our friends) supporting us as we opened our hearts to the sun and celebrated the practice of Anusara Yoga. She introduced some acro yoga and and we all delighted in the whole experience of community, play and bliss. It was glorious!!!! 

Frank and Sianna!



We finished the afternoon back in the studio with a stronger sense of how to celebrate life, and how to celebrate the gift of community and nature. It was an amazing journey with Sianna guiding us deeper into experiencing the rays of  love within and all around. She is a wonderful and special spirit, who's knowledge and insight of yoga comes through each word and touch. We were so honored to have her come and share with us; we look forward to her returning hopefully soon!!

A few of us gathered at 'the Barge' to continue 'celebrating' with pints and to enjoy each's others company . I had the best pear cider ever and we laughed enjoying a truly beautiful day in Dublin. 



It was a wonderful day and we thank Sianna for sharing her time with us in Ireland. Big shout out to Colm Walsh for hosting the event at Yoga Dublin and to all the great students who came and shone with 'Inner Body Bright!!' You all make these events happen and we thank you so much for your continued dedication to yoga. 

With light!

A Place to Shine!!

We are well into February and it has been amazing. Each day brings an unexpected surprise of weather, sunny to snow, rain to sleet with back to sunny, warm days to cooler and brisk days. It certainly does not allow for boredom or lack of preparation (umbrellas, mitts and wellies to always pack in car!!!)

There are also wonderful workshops to counter the slightly depressing news each night on the TV (note to self, TURN IT OFF!!! ) and go for a walk instead. You will feel uplifted and positive about the changes you can make to create happier times. And par-take in any of the yoga workshops I'm offering to counter the stressful time around us.

This March brings me to The Burren Yoga and Meditation Center. It is the first time that the samplings of Anusara Yoga will be represented and it is my year celebration of living in Ireland. Take this time to step back from the hectic-ness of life, unwind with uplifting yoga, nourish yourself with great food and soak in the sights of the calming and beautiful Burren.  
MARCH 6-8. 09    Please check out www.burrenyoga.com for booking and information. 
It's a great opportunity to connect to nature, the kula (community of the heart) and yourself!

I will also be visiting Ennis Yoga Studio in March 21-22,09. More details to come soon.

March 14th MasterClass  "Twist and Shout to Freedom"  at Yoga Dublin, www.yogadublin.com 
March 29th  Workshop     Samadhi, Drogheda www.samadhi.ie

Please note that my class at Yoga Dublin, march 1 is cancelled as Bridget is here offering Ireland's first Anusara Immersion! We are thrilled to have her back sharing her knowledge and insight again!

I will see you soon on the mat!
With Blessings,
Tahnee

Behind Every Dark Cloud is a Bright Light

I was reminded  today that beneath of the exterior of our physical bodies, behind the limiting thoughts of the ego mind 'I'm not good enough' that there is always a light that holds steady in our hearts.  Sometimes we need to experience the turbulent effect of the storms,  that is often our daily life to help us look up or down or around in order to see;  a new way of thinking, a new plan of action and a new way to live our best possible lives. Let it be bold, let it be stormy but just let it be NOW!

A Treasure Chest of Opening with Deb Neubauer

WOW. Really there are no more words to explain the week-end of Anusara Yoga with Deb Neubauer, visiting from the states. It was full of rich insights, thought-provoking contemplations and an inspiring asana practice. I feel that all those who were able to attend left feeling nourished from experiencing  their 'side body long' and 'inner body bright'. 

It was such a wonderful reminder of why I love this method of yoga. While I was feeling tightness in my hamstrings, I was inspired by Deb to keep working, keep hugging to my mid-line and from there, from that place of steadiness  my body and heart  opened for me. It took an ordinary moment  of just  breathing to an extraordinary experience.

  Deb full of inner body bright!Elaine uplifted in hanumanasana


Joanne flying high!
Colm M getting a big assist from Deb!

I feel that I can speak for us all in looking forward to Deb's visit next year. She is a magnificent teacher with her sparkle and radiance arising from her own bright heart. who touches into the very depths of your own heart.
