Bhava Flow and Restore Yoga Teacher Training, Yoga to Ease Depression and Anxiety, Level One with Shannon Paige
June 10, 8:00am-10:00am
Bhava, A Vinyasa into Ease, Steadiness, and Fulfillment, Part One Teacher’s Study, Offered TWO separate Dates this Summer! June 10 AND June 28, 8a – 6p. The same program will be offered TWICE. Born out of the deep desire to create spaces of ease in the effort of managing states of depression and anxiety, this practice emerged as a fusion, inspired by the Three Part Vinyasa, the hallmark of Prana Flow Vinyasa Yoga, founded and cultivated by Shiva Rea and the distinct states of meditative calm attained in Anjali Restorative Yoga, founded and developed by Shannon Paige.
Though to style is regarded to have radically powerful effects on many levels of depression and anxiety, it creates potent relief and vitality in all levels of practitioner, with varied states of wellbeing. A Bhava Session spends one half of the time in a progression, an unfolding of simple into more complex asanas towards a blooming posture that holds the sum total of actions and techniques cultivated.
The second half of the session provides deep lunar pauses in counter-posing restorative postures. The effect of the sadhana / practice session is empowering. The first half of the session is steeped in intelligent vibration: pulsation within a posture’s range of energetic motion and center, movement patterns that unfold confidence and directionality, and rhythmic remembrance between two or three asanas. The effect teaches the body to cultivate mindful contraction and effective rooting in order to learn patterns of safe and repeatable release. This practice allows us to reframe states of chronic conditioning in exchange for empowering relational movement. The second half of the sadhana / practice session is inspiring.
$250 for part 1, 10 CEU

Most noted for the “Supported Spinal Sequence,” Anjali’s signature progression, the instructor gently guides the practitioner through a loving sequence to gently bend the spine in its key directions of movement: forward bend, backbend, side-bend and twist, in addition to a mindful, supported traction to inspire length and space between vertebrae.
