SUMMARY:2/12 FREE Intro to Meditation
DESCRIPTION:What is Primordial Sound Meditation?\nPrimordial Sound Meditation is derived from an ancient meditation system. Deepak Chopra MD and the late David Simon MD consulted with meditation masters in India and revised an ancient meditation technique to make it more accessible to the busy Western mind. In Primordial Sound Meditation (PSM)\, people are given a specific sound or mantra to silently repeat during their meditation. The mantra chosen is fundamental to their human makeup. When we allow this sound to resonate in our awareness\, we move beyond the noisy thought chatter in our minds and experience a deeper realm of stillness and silence. Accessing this field of silence in meditation on a regular basis leads to making choices that enhance our health\, wellbeing\, relationships and happiness. \nPSM is easily learned\, even for people with no prior meditation experience. Mind-wandering happens to everyone in meditation and is not a barrier to meditation. \n\n\n  \n\nWorkshop Info\n\nClass 1 – Monday 2/12/18 at 7:00 pm or Friday 2/23/18 at 7:00 pm (you choose which class to attend)\n7:00-9:00 pm\nFREE Intro Class\n\nMeditation Training\n\nClass 2 – Saturday 2/24/18 private appointments scheduled from 12:30 pm on\nClass 3 – Sunday 2/25/18 at 12:00 – 2:00pm\nClass 4 – Sunday 3/11/18 at 12:00 – 2:00pm\n$199 early bird (2 weeks before 2/24/18)\n$250 day of Class 2 (2/24/18)\n\n  \n \nAbout Michael\nMichael Farley\, MD is a retired physician who enjoys teaching meditation to people who want to become healthier and happier. In 1970\, Farley took a leave of absence from college to study Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for 6 months in Europe. After medical school\, Farley completed residency training in two fields: pediatrics and ophthalmology. In 2003\, Farley was forced to retire from ophthalmology practice after developing visual complications from arthritis medications. \nOnce a new arthritis medication helped him starting walking and driving again\, Farley went to the Chopra Center for Wellbeing to study meditation and Ayurveda with Deepak Chopra MD and the late David Simon MD. As Farley began to heal\, he became a certified instructor in Primordial Sound Meditation (PSM) and in Perfect Health and a certified Ayurvedic Consultant. Farley helped at the Chopra Center to train new teachers in PSM and the Perfect Health program for 7 years. In 2009\, Farley also began teaching weekly meditation and wellness classes at the Friendship Shelter in Laguna Beach. Because of this experience with homeless clients\, Farley became a trained teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion\, so he could share this knowledge with those facing difficult circumstances.

SUMMARY:11/4 Bhagavad Gita
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Bhagavad Gita\, A One-Day Workshop \n\nThe Bhagavad Gita\, literally ‘song to the beloved’ is universally regarded as one of the world’s greatest literary and spiritual masterpeices. It is one of the most translated writings in history\, inspiring such diverse figures as Aldous Huxley\, Henry David Thoreau\, Albert Einstein\, Ralph Waldo Emerson\, Carl Jung\, Bono\, and J. Robert Oppenheimer\, the father of the Atomic Bomb.  \nOn the surface\, the Bhagavad Gita is a battlefield conversation between Arjuna and Krishna\, his charioteer. Arjuna is a gifted warrior who\, facing his greatest battle\, becomes paralyzed with doubt. In the ensuing dialogue\, Krishna reveals that he is a god and helps Arjuna understand what he must do\, and why. This profound wisdom text is both a cornerstone the Hindu tradition and an essential text on Yoga\, second only to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras in importance. \nIn this one-day workshop\, we will explore this epic tale\, clarifying which teachings are Hindu and which relate to the secular self-care system of Yoga. We will examine Gita’s profound insights on such central Yogic themes as meditation\, right-knowledge\, dharma\, detachment\, devotion and their practical applications to everyday life. The focus will be on understanding culturally appropriate applications of the practices outlined in this ancient text to be used as a yoga therapist. \n\nWorkshop Info\n\n\n\nSaturday\, November 4th\n12:30 – 5:30 pm\n$100 pre-registration\, $125 after October 21st\, 2017\n\n  \n \n\n\n \n\n\nAbout Erika\n\n\nErika Burkhalter\, MA Yoga Studies\, MS Neuropsychology\, E-RYT 500\, YACEP\, has been teaching yoga since 1999\, and exploring its practices since childhood.  Erika teaches Ananda Flow\, a practice to “find your bliss” through vinyasa flow interwoven with mythology\, mantra\, meditation and yogic philosophy to promote happiness\, mental clarity\, and a sense of interconnection between all things. Erika also teaches for Loyola Marymount University’s Yoga Philosophy Certificate Program and teaches for a variety of Teacher Training programs and festivals.

SUMMARY:8/21 Community Acupuncture
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to students of all backgrounds and health conditions. \n  \nCommunity acupuncture is practiced in a group\, rather than one-on-one\, setting. Don’t worry! You won’t be baring much skin. Our large studio will be open for this 2-hour window every Monday. Treatment will take about 35 minutes\, but participants are welcome to stay the entire time. The treatments are primarily on the front of the body and mainly on distal points (legs\, arms\, hands\, feet\, ears\, etc.). This is the way that acupuncture is traditionally done in China. Community-style treatments are more affordable so that people can get the amount of treatment they need in a shorter period of time. The idea is to make acupuncture as accessible as possible.  By offering treatment in a serene group environment\, everyone collectively shares the healing ambiance which enhances the effects. Not to mention that it’s just more fun to get acupuncture with your friends and family\, rather than in a room all by yourself! \nThe People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture (POCA; www.pocacoop.com) is an organization of acupuncturists who practice community-style acupuncture\, and their site is a great resource for learning about community acupuncture.  You can also check out more info about Lydia at www.blueheartacu.com \nWorkshop Info \n\nEvery Monday\n12:30 – 2:30pm\n$30\n\n \nAbout Lydia\n \nLydia is a Prius-driving\, music-loving mother of two adventurous boys.She belongs to a national cooperative called People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture (POCA)and believes in their mission of increasing accessibility and availability of acupuncture treatments and in turn improving the health and lives of our community. \nLydia has been working as an acupuncturist since 2010 in many different settings and no other clinic has given her more happiness and fulfillment than the community setting. She thoroughly enjoys using her “magic needles” to make sure her patients feel better. When she’s not nurturing her patients\, she loves spending time with her hubby\, her Lego-master kindergartener and her dinosaur-loving preschooler.

SUMMARY:8/9 Aromatherapy: Essential Oils 101
DESCRIPTION:What are essential oils and what’s the point of learning about them?\n\nEssential oils are much more than simple room fresheners. These plant essences can actually help bring balance back into the body! \nEssential oils are the living fluid inside the plant that acts as their immune system. These plant fluids are the regenerating\, oxygenating\, and immune-strengthening properties of plants. They are necessary for the plant to live and contain vibrational energy that helps to give them therapeutic properties. When these fluids are distilled and extracted using a highly regulated\, low-heat\, slow-steam process and then used topically\, aromatically or internally\, they can help bring that vibrational energetic level that is lacking in our bodies back into balance. Essential oils are composed of microscopic molecules that are able to penetrate into the DNA/cellular level of every cell in our body (even crossing the blood-brain barrier) and can help to support our body’s natural healing systems. These amazing plant essences have been used to support healing for centuries. \nIn this class we’ll discuss high quality essential oils\, what they’re used for\, and how to integrate them into your life. We’ll also review the uses and benefits of the most common single oils and blends you’ll encounter. \nEvery attendee will go home with a custom oil item tailored to your needs! \n\n \nWorkshop Info\n\n\n$25 pre-registration/$30 day of event\nWednesday\, August 9th\n6:30 – 8:00pm\n\n  \n \n  \n \n\n\n \n\nAshley Arroliga\, RYT-500\, teaches Aromatherapy + Yoga classes at BTC! Ashley views yoga as a healing art. She completed her 200 and 300 HR trainings at Be the Change Yoga in Irvine\, CA and is currently enrolled in their Yoga Therapist Training program. Ashley has a great love of holistic healing methods. She has a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Thomas Edison State University\, and loves combining this background with the Yoga Sutras in practice. \nAshley teaches all levels of yoga\, from therapeutic practices to intermediate vinyasa and hatha flow classes. She specializes in yoga for anxiety and stress management\, has designed programs for first responders\, and is passionate about working with pregnant mothers.

SUMMARY:8/7\, 8/14\, 8/21\, 8/28 Chakra Series
DESCRIPTION:Energetic Wellbeing\nChakras are energy centers of transformation – energy centers through which the cosmic energy flows into the human body. The seven chakras were first described nearly 3\,000 years ago in the ancient sacred texts of India. These seven energy centers described so long ago actually have a basis in anatomy as they correspond to five main nerve ganglia of the spinal column and the two areas (upper and lower) of the brain. \nSince chakras are indeed at the “center” of our physical bodies and involved with all of it’s physical\, mental\, and emotional processes\, they are essential to our well-being. If we have one or more chakras which are out of balance\, this can over time lead to physical\, emotional or mental dis-ease. Keeping our chakras aligned and “singing” with the harmony that they are meant to have can lead to a sense of health and balance\, which can improve our lives on many different levels.\n\nIn each class you will understand the importance of these energetic centers and be guided through a bija mantra (seed syllable) meditation for each chakra. We will also pair each chakra with the perfect blend of essential oils in every class\, which will add to the healing experience. We will finish with a guided Yoga nidra (Yogic Sleep) meditation with sound healing.\n \nWorkshop Info\n\nAugust 7th\, 14th\, 21st\, 28th\nMondays 7:00 – 9:00pm\n$125 pre-registration/ $135 after August 1st\n$35 drop-in\n\n  \n \n \n \n \nAlexandra Boggio\n\nAlexandra is the Director of the Reiki Department –  Certified Usui Reiki Master / Master Teacher\, Certified RYT 500 ERYT 200 Yoga Instructor\, CNC – Certified Nutritional Consultant and IFHI- Fellow of the Institute for Human Individuality\, Energy Healer & Meditation Instructor.   She facilities the Reiki Training classes\, intern mentorships and ongoing Reiki Healing Group. \nAlexandra believes that our Western society places a great emphasis towards treating illness and disease by means of pharmacology. “Where there are amazing lifesaving drugs\, often we focus on the symptoms and not the root cause.  This also often leaves out one important aspect of the human body – its amazing ability to heal itself when given the right conditions. This is where energy and Reiki comes in and can be a fantastic complimentary healing modality.” Through the means of Reiki\, one gains a greater awareness and sense of empowerment towards healing. \nAlexandra’s focus is on self-healing and on using Reiki to maintain balance in one’s life.  Alexandra believes that each person can take responsibility for his or her own healing process and wellness. Her job is to help increase awareness of the subtle body\, assist\, guide\, and provide tools to aid each person’s unique healing journey.  \nIn addition\, Alexandra also works with clients one-on-one.  During a private Healing Session\, Alexandra helps the client to identify where the root of the issue lies energetically and helps to develop a sustainable wellness plan.   She works with releasing the blocked and traumatic energy of events from this life\, past lives.  Each session includes balancing physical and emotional aspects of the body\, chakras (subtle energy centers of the body)\, clearing  aura (also known as one’s energetic boundaries) and if necessary\, removal of energetic attachments.

SUMMARY:6/5 Hypnotherapy: Releasing Self-Limiting Beliefs
DESCRIPTION:It’s not who you are that holds you back\, it’s who you think you’re not.\n\n\nIf you believe yourself to be limited in some ways\, whether or not it is true\, it becomes true for you. Beliefs are conditioned perceptions that are built upon old memories of pain and pleasure. By attaching ourselves emotionally to people\, events\, and circumstances\, we effectively build the foundation of our belief systems. \nDuring this 90-minute workshop you will learn what limiting beliefs are and how to identify them\, clear them out and set up a new belief. You’ll also learn why hypnosis may help\, and how to create thoughts that create and transform your energy into a positive reality. \nIs there an area of your life that you really tried to improve but\, no matter what\, things just didn’t get better? There might just be a limiting belief to look at. \n\n\n\n\nHow to identify\, release\, and forgive your limiting beliefs\nWays to overcome limiting beliefs and why Hypnosis may help\nWhy all or nothing thinking limits us and what to do about it\nShift your energy from negative to positive within seconds\nTry simple effective techniques to release and shift limiting beliefs\nGroup guided imagery hypnosis at the end\n\n\n\nWorkshop Info\n\nMonday\, June 5th\n7:00 – 8:30pm\n$25 pre-registration / $35 day of event\n\n  \n \n\nSheri Arechiga\, C.ht and the owner of The Exquisite Art of Healing is a Certified Hypnotherapist\, and a registered yoga instructor (RYT200) with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration and Diploma in Hypnotherapy with 4 years experience in the healing profession. As a hypnotherapist\, she is passionate about helping people achieve their self-improvement goals and reach the next level on their journey in life.

Knowing the true power within the subconscious mind she has made it her passion to help other accomplish their goals in a very unique and powerful way. Sheri offers workshops and private sessions for those searching for new directions and deeper meaning for personal growth.

SUMMARY:3/1 Hatha Yoga Pradipika
DESCRIPTION:This classic 15th Century text by Swami Swatmarama outlines\, in very specific terms\, how the vigorous physical practices of hatha yoga may be employed to bring about a profound spiritual transformation in the life of the practitioner. The effective means involves the arousal and skillful manipulation of internal subtle energies (prana and kundalini) in order to effect profound states of consciousness\, intended to culminate in deep wisdom and spiritual liberation. The 389 verses of the text are divided into four chapters which cover a broad range of practical instructions for serious yoga practice\, including: restraints\, observances\, diet\, asanas (postures)\, advanced purification techniques\, pranayama (yogic breathing)\, energy locks and seals\, and the culminating stages of nada yoga or absorption in interior sounds. This course will include some basic practice elements involving asana\, pranayama\, and stimulation of cakra centers through the chanting of Sanskrit seed syllables. This text is essential reading for yoga teachers who wish to have a more fully grounded understanding of the vital connection between the physical and spiritual dimensions of classical yoga. \nCLICK TO REGISTER THROUGH LMU \nRequired Text: \n\nSwami Muktibodhananda\, Hatha Yoga Pradipika\, 3rd Edition (Bihar School of Yoga\, 2013)\n\n\n\n\nStatus\nRegistration Available\n\n\nCourse Code\nYGPX821.0182073\n\n\nSession\nSpring 2017\n\n\nCategory\nYoga Studies\n\n\nDays\nW\n\n\nDates\n3/01/17 – 4/05/17\n\n\nTimes\n1:00 PM – 3:00 PM\n\n\nFormat\nClassroom\n\n\nAlternate Schedule\nNo class meeting on 3/08/17\n\n\nInstructor\nBurkhalter\, Erika\n\n\n\n  \nErika Burkhalter\, MA Yoga Studies\, MS Neuropsychology\, E-RYT 500\, has been teaching yoga since 1999\, and exploring its practices since childhood.   Erika teaches at Yoga Works\, Costa Mesa\, and offers philosophy and asana intensives to a variety of yoga teacher training programs in Southern California. A graduate of Loyola Marymount’s inaugural class of the M.A. in Yoga Studies\, Erika focused her research on the interconnection between mythology\, philosophy and modern science. As a former neuroscientist\, Erika is particularly intrigued with how ancient wisdom correlates with modern science to allow us to lead happier\, more fulfilling lives. The author of several articles\, Erika is currently completing the writing of her book\, Interconnected.   http://www.erikaburkhalter.com \n  \n\n\n\nLocation\nBe The Change Yoga\, 3943 Portola Parkway\, Irvine\, CA 92602\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFee(s) \n\n\n\n\n\n$ 195\nTuition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n$ 195\nTotal Fees

SUMMARY:1/21 Yoga Sutras Course - Chapters 3/4
DESCRIPTION:This Course is Open to All Students\nThe only course of its kind in Orange County!! Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras remains the single most important text on Yoga. Composed over 2\,300 years ago\, the Sutras present Yoga as a complete system of spiritual psychology. This great work offers profound insights on the nature of the mind\, as well as a pharmacopeia of suggestions for reducing suffering and cultivating More Sustained Joy. Familiarity with the Sutras is essential for the most effective practice of Yoga as well as a deeper understanding of Yoga psychology. Studying these timeless truths with a qualified teacher (one with whom you resonate) is a journey deep into the human heart and mind. \nThe Format\nThis in-depth course will complete all four Chapters of the Yoga Sutras and will discuss the different levels of meaning in each sutra and the various applications which follow from each interpretation. This course is open to the public\, for those who would like to learn more about Yoga philosophy and how to integrate it into daily life. This course is also included in our 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training Program. Yoga Teachers can complete all four chapters and apply the 30 hours to their certification. \nStudents are welcome to start with Chapter 1 or Chapter 2 – the order does not matter. However the student must have completed both Chapters 1/2 before going on to Chapters 3/4. The course meets five Saturday’s per year from 12:30-6:30pm. \n  \nChapter 1\nSamadhi Pada\, the first chapter of Yoga’s foundation text offers a rich overview of the many tools and strategies on which Patanjali elaborates throughout the entire work. In this profound introduction\, he defines Yoga\, discusses it’s benefits. Here\, he offers a variety of short-term solutions to the many obstacles that may arise on the path to the Goal. In the chapter\, Patanjali describes the various functions of the mind elaborates on experiential nature of Yoga practice stresses need for a relationship with a teacher. \n  \nChapter 2\nOf the Sutra’s four chapters\, the second chapter\, Sadhana Pada\, is certainly the most practical. Here\, Patanjali expounds on the nature and psychological causes of suffering (the klesas)\, and offers a complete\, holistic system for transforming the human being\, the eight limbs\, or Astanga Yoga. He explores the first five limbs\, which include Yoga’s timeless guidelines for relationships and lifestyle\, as well as instructions on the correct practice of Asana and Pranayama. \n  \nChapter 3\nThe third chapter\, Vibuthi Pada\, completes the 8-limb path with the last three limbs Dharana (concentration)\, Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (absorption\, or flow). The process of these tree is called samyama and Patanjali then gives many examples of meditative practice\, but also warns of being sidetracked by any powers gained along the way. \n  \nChapter 4\nThe fourth and final chapter\, Kaivalya Pada\, explains that powers can be gained in various ways\, the only reliable path is through the Astanga (8-limb) path to Samadhi. It is someone who has taken this route that is the most reliable teacher. Patanjali then picks up earlier themes and concludes with the term kaivalya\, a concept of increasing freedom from suffering which requires a clear mind created through the practice of Yoga. \n  \nThe Teacher\n \nRobert Birnberg has been a student of the Yoga Sutras for over four decades. For the past twenty years\, he has studied this brilliant work with teachers in the lineage of T.Krishnamacharya\, the father of modern Yoga. He is one of a handful of people personally certified by Krishnamacharya’s son\, T.K.V. Desikachar to train teachers. Robert is dedicated to mining the Sutra’s timeless truths for common sense life-skills\, leading to increased optimism\, better health\, more satisfying relationships\, and measurably enhanced wellbeing. He teaches private\, therapeutic Yoga\, trains teachers in the U.S and abroad and is on the faculty of the Loyola Marymount Yoga Therapy Program. Robert is also a certified Positive Psychology Coach\, allowing him to effectively combine Yoga’s tools with proven Positive Psychology interventions. \nWe will be using ‘The Heart of Yoga’ by TKY Desikachar or ‘Reflections on the Yoga Sutras’\, by TKV Desikachar\, available at www.kym.org\, (please note that this book has been taken off the KYM website\, we are contacting the KYM to place a bulk order from India) or ‘Liberating Isolation’\, by Frans Moors\, available at www.sky-yoga.net\, (allow three to four weeks for delivery). \n
