SUMMARY:Build your Sadhana w/ Drew JC
DESCRIPTION:Sadhana is our daily spiritual/wellbeing practice.\n\n\nThe essence of this workshop is to fortify you with an ‘every day’ home practice combining the fundamentals of kundalini yoga and meditation:  pranayama techniques (breath work)\, the bandhas ( body locks)\, spinal alignment\, mudras and mantra. Come explore the art of discipline and leave with an “every day” tool to start your day.  \n\nKundalini yoga\, unlike strictly asana practices\, focuses on harmonizing the nervous system with the endocrine system.  When activated and aligned\, these two systems give rise to our fully actualized self. A complete Kundalini practice includes a Kriya (a set of exercises with an intended result)\, breath\, meditation and mantra.  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will:\n\n\nCover a brief history of kundalini yoga:  its roots\, how it spread around the world\, its utility as a daily maintenance practice for body\, mind and spirit and then dive deeper into the art of the practice\nExplore the nuances of body locks/the bandhas (Maha bandha and its 3 components)\nDiscuss the importance of proper spinal alignment\nLearn fundamental tools for effective pranayama\nUnderstand the benefits of opening the throat chakra through chanting\nTake a deep dive into various Kriyas: Sat Kriya\, stretch pose\, kriya for the adrenals and kidneys as well as Nabhi Kriya\n\n\nHow the workshop will flow: \n\nAn initial information session on the above topics\nExecute a complete practice together including kriya and a meditation with interspersed reminders of proper practice\nAmple time for Questions and Answers\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is for everyone!  As a novice\, it will dramatically shorten your learning curve through highlighting some of the fundamentals of the practice of kundalini yoga. As a seasoned practitioner\, it will strengthen your practice through thoughtful cues and deeper examinations of the how and why of each kriya we practice. \n\n\n\n\nDrew JC will offer depth from his 9 years teaching experience and 15 years of practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will leave this workshop with a home practice.\n\n\n  \nFor more information on Drew JC\, please see his teacher profile here!  \nCost: $30Financial Aid Available- Please stop by the front desk\, call\, or email kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org. \n \n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.
