1/7 Akashic Records Info Meeting
2025-01-07 17:00 - 18:00
What are the akashic records?

The Akashic Records are often described as a metaphysical “library” or energetic database that holds the collective memory of every thought, action, and experience in the universe. Rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, the concept suggests that everything that has ever occurred—and every possibility for the future—exists in this energetic field.
Think of the Akashic Records as the “cloud storage” of the universe. Just like your smartphone uploads information to a cloud service, every moment of your life—your choices, intentions, and emotions—uploads to this vast energetic network. The records are not physical but rather vibrational, existing in the realm of consciousness.
Accessing the Akashic Records is said to offer insights into:

Your personal purpose: Understanding your life’s path and unique gifts.
Patterns and challenges: Gaining clarity on recurring issues and how to resolve them.
Spiritual growth: Connecting with deeper truths about yourself and your connection to others.

In a universal sense, the Akashic Records emphasize the idea that all of existence is interconnected, and every being contributes to the collective evolution. Whether approached through meditation, prayer, or guided techniques, exploring the records can offer profound guidance for living a more meaningful and harmonious life.

11/23 & 11/24 The Yoga of Relationships
2024-11-24 12:30 - 18:30
Course Overview

Relationships can serve as a primary source of suffering or joy. This intensive will give students an in-depth study of yogic philosophy and how it applies to relationships. Yoga is about transformation. As we learn to improve communication, we are empowered, and we begin to change. As we interact with others, this change can start to permeate the lives of others.
By understanding the Yamas, one of the eight limbs of yoga philosophy, we can find the direct applications of these teachings to our relationships and use this knowledge to upgrade them. We will focus on how to assess relationship issues, ask clarifying questions, and integrate appropriate practices to cultivate sattvic (balanced) relationships.

2024-11-10 12:30 - 18:30
Course Overview

The intention of this 12-hour weekend intensive is to provide additional tools yoga teachers and yoga therapist trainees can use to assess and support their clients. We will discuss ethics and consent, hand placement and quality of touch, longevity and safety for the Yoga Therapist as related to transference and body mechanics, and how clear verbal and visual cues can provide a similar result without using touch when it may be contraindicated. Touch can help improve musculoskeletal imbalances, breath awareness, proprioception and provide security and connection, and our sense of touch provides us with essential information for enhancing kinesthetic learning.

In this 4 week series you will gain a greater understanding of your bones and the pillars to bone health. Each week we will also be practicing the yoga poses that Dr. Fishman has been studying to increase bone density.

Yoga challenges our balance, builds strength in the body, and increases proprioception which aids in fall prevention. Yoga helps to reduce stress. All of these things are important when you have bone loss.

Come empower yourself! This is an all levels class and is great for someone new to the benefits of yoga for bone health and can also be a refresher workshop if you have taken a bone workshop from Susan in the past and would like a refresher on alignment and engagement for the poses.

My name is Marsalo Cruz, I’m a yoga practitioner and Ayurvedic counselor. In my studies of yoga philosophy, I encountered Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga. I was fascinated by how this practice could be applied to anyone. Eventually I found myself in a 600-hour Ayurvedic counselor’s course, which only enriched my love and understanding of this beautiful science.
My noble hope is to share my love and knowledge of Ayurveda and yoga, to help people to connect with themselves and their surroundings, and to find a wholistic way of healing the mind, body, and spirit.

Jonah Montes, Yoga Teacher
I started teaching Yoga in 2015 because I realized there is so much more to the practice than just the physical benefits: there is healing and growth. As a teacher, I hope to share the healing aspect of yoga to anyone who is in need of it. I love teaching Yoga because I not only get to contribute to a student’s yoga journey as a guide but also as a witness to the growth and progression they experience through their practice.

My teaching style is gentle Yin-inspired Restorative Yoga with elements of Viniyoga.
