maximize your shape - yoga workshop

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:16:00 -0400

Where: Yoga Moves - 274 Main Street Reading, Massachusetts
When: Saturday, August 20 · 1:00pm - 3:00pm

What: This two hour workshop will dissect several yoga poses from an anatomical standpoint. In this workshop Lauren will explore various yoga postures and introduce ways one can really maximize the strength and the stretch with each pose in their practice. This workshop is catered to all levels. If you are new to the practice it is a great way to learn proper alignment from the start. For experienced yogis who feel they are at a “standstill” in their practice, this workshop will help one discover new ways to maximize their edge and expand their shape. Be open to learning about muscles you never knew you had! And how to use them properly, efficiently and openly in your asana practice! Be prepared to sweat and move and also be able to ask questions!

Woke up at 10:18 and had a choice. To go to a 11am Jivamukti Yoga class or stay in bed. I contemplated for about 10 minutes. What do I want what do I need? Conclusion. Bed. But I didn’t go back to sleep. Opening the windows allowing the warm yet cool Spring air seep into the apartment. Purging out the stuffiness. I wrap myself up with the meditative sounds of Saturday morning New York City traffic. Feels good to just do absolutely nothing for a moment. We have to be doing things all the time. Physically…mentally…But when we truly take that extra moment, sometimes we just need to rest.

This time of year we are ready for movement, change and renewal. A little spring cleaning so to speak. This two hour workshop will be just that. Well do some detoxifying breathwork/pranayama, twists and strengthening poses to help us get rid of what we don’t need and empower us in the now. This workshop will be done in the hot room to really help in the detoxifying process.

Come with an open mind, ready to breathe, sweat and move!

the approach

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 20:43:00 -0500

If you approach your life from a place of grace versus resistance, things come to you. The universe works in your favor. Its truly amazing, once I truly let go, things began to align. The job, the roommate, the apartment. Its all working out! The same goes for my asana practice. When you’re really in a pose, like really in it, you feel it. It doesn’t feel foreign anymore. Everything aligns. It feels right. Matching the breath, with the movement, things begin to take shape, transform. Clicks. That aaahhh ha! moment. Love it!

my first new york

Sun, 09 Jan 2011 23:34:04 -0500

I arrived to NYC on Thursday, January 6th listening to Billy Joel’s New York State of Mind playing in my Mom’s 5 series. It was planned. I made her a mixed cd which also included Alicia Keys, Empire State of Mind. Classic. I was so excited, driving along the Hudson. I arrived at my cousin’s brownstone in the West Village. He graciously offered a one bedroom apartment on the forth floor for me to stay in while I get myself acclimated and score a job(s).

While unpacking, it hit me. I’ve left everything I’ve ever known. Wow. Twenty six years of my existence. To embark on this new adventure. The fear of the unknown sinks in. That voice kicks in. What am I going to do for work? Where am I going to live? Who am I going to live with? Is this the right choice? Did I make the right decision? Is this the answer? Will I ever stop searching? Do I think too much? I loose it. Cried. For an hour. All the emotions bubbled up to the surface and exploded! It felt good to let it out. But geez. Intense. I know we don’t need to have all the answers right now. I know this move is going to challenge me in ways I never fathomed. I’m ready. I have to be ready. To embrace anything and everything that comes up. This is life. Once you stop really living, you die…

3 Day Rejuvenating Yoga Retreat

Thursday March 10th - Sunday March 13th in Vermont

Experience a 3 day immersion into yoga asana, breath awareness, inner stillness and the subtle energetic body with Maura Hintlian and Lauren Egavian. We will begin each morning with a silent breakfast, which allows for easing into the day, mindful eating, and preparing yourself for your day. Following breakfast we will lead a Hatha/Vinyasa practice to energize, offering modifications to lessen or deepen the intensity of the posture. Each yoga practice will be an opportunity for clearing out what we no longer need- a little spring cleaning for the soul, and embracing ourselves as we are during this transition from winter into spring. You may experience insights and new awareness into your life, which can be profoundly positive. Thai Massages will be available during leisure time if you’d like to add to your weekend of centering and experiencing balance. Simply enjoy time away with some pleasure reading and quiet time. Three delicious vegetarian meals will be served each day! All rooms are shared at Sky Meadow Retreat Center. Cost for all inclusive 3 day yoga retreat is only $550. A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required to reserve your spot by February 15th. The last retreat sold out within a month!

Earlybird Special: Register & pay in full by January 15th for only $495!

Give the gift of retreat and renewal to a friend, sister, loved one, and share this special weekend to reconnect to the part of you that is pure joy, love, and contentment.

We ask participants arrive between 4:30-5 p.m. on Thursday March 10th, and the retreat wraps up by 2 p.m. on Sunday March 13th.
