PREVIOUS OFFERINGS AT THE CENTER:
DONALD MOYER: Yoga, Awakening the Inner Body ”In this workshop, we will develop our awareness of the inner body by working with the alignment of the interal organs, creating space in the joints, and maintaining the proper balance between release and extension. Practicing in this way creates more movement with less effort, and brings a deeper, self-empowering experience of the poses. I recommend this study for students with one year’s experience of yoga.” - Donald

Yoga meets the Law of Attraction ~ Using spiritual principles and practices to fulfill the heartʼs desires with Greg Riley.
The current phenomena of the Law of Attraction teaching, which is generating so much attention, is but the modern re-packaging of the most ancient Spiritual truth revealed to mankind: whatever you put your attention on, grows. Because this great truth is principle, it always works, if properly applied and it can be used to produce dynamic change in your life, right now.
THE ENERGETICS OF HATHA YOGA W/ GREG RILEY - Greg will correlate ancient spiritual concepts with modern physiological, anatomical, and scientific realities in a way that will allow sincere seekers to experience “aha!” moments of understanding that will change your practice forever.
