Greetings!     
flower


Feliz Ano Nuevo and 2012! We invite you to feel the immensity of this epic era of our lives. Personally, after visiting Mexico, where the Mayan calendar will end Winter Solstice 2012 have been receiving much guidance in my meditations about it.  Originally, the Mayans (a Sanskrit word) were thought to come from India, so there are many parallels between the Rig Veda and the Mayan philosophies. One piece  I would love to share... Now is about activating all that we have learned, and really picturing the landscape, setting the view into your reality. No more talking. You now actually ARE the sacred word. Wow! This year is also about meditating, singing and appreciation. We are the portals of all that we have culminated for having a direct experience of our dreams and purpose.

I have studied this 2012 for 4 years now. I am very excited to share some significant offerings with you as we go along through this year together. Look to those all around you. They are the cosmic mirror of all that you are. The Universe has assisted in setting this up for us, and those around us are a really big deal right now, perfectly placed. Thank you all!

To activate our New dreams, Keith and I will be offering a liberation class January 14, Saturday at 1pm-3pm. We will talk just a bit about 2012, do 108 sun salutations, and a long guided meditation in the Mandir. Join us.

Also, we are incredibly blessed to host an exceptional guest Anusara Yoga teachers, Noah Maze January 27-29. He travels the world teaching this style of yoga. Please join us for this rare opportunity.

Please also join us for Reiki Level II beginning January 21. After clearing our energy, we are going to call it all back, and investigate where we might loose vitality in our daily lives.

The big offering we are humbled to host each year, as it draws so many community members close together in a deeper and more refined way...
The Swan River Yoga 350 Hour Teacher Training and 6 month  Life Immersion round 5  is set for April 5 2012 on Friday nights:
Now is the time to begin contemplating your place in the community. If you desire to elevate your community, please consider joining us for a 6 month Life Immersion and Yoga Teacher Training Course. This course serves many purposes, and it's main one is to be with other like minded individuals that wish to deepen their yoga practice in an accessible setting, over a long period of time, and in their own home town and studio that they love.

It is rare to find courses geared towards adults, and thus, it can be difficult for adults to make changes in in their life, as their imprints are often quite set.
Please join us in April 2012 for a 6 month Life immersion. You will never be the same, and you will experience some of the deepest teachings, all applicable to your life.

Also, if you wish to be a yoga teacher, this course promises that you will be ready to do so. You do not need to add apprenticeships or more hours to your training. If you desire to begin teaching right away, you will have all of the tools provided for you to begin.

Many of the top teachers in their field and style will be joining us, including John DeMahy, Jordan Bloom, Kelly Haas, Keith Porteous, Aaron Lind, and Michele Baker, the training's director. This Swan River Yoga Teacher Training is the first one offered ever in our city. This will be number 5, a special number, for a very powerful year, 2012.

Apply and ask questions now. This is going to be one BIG MAHA year for many reasons!

Intro to Anusara Yoga Series, Absolute Beginners
at the Mandir 

This special series with Laura Flora is now open to drop in students for just $15! Please note that you will be coming into a continuing conversation. Join in to set your foundation in the new year.

Founded by John Friend in 1997, AnusaraŽ Yoga, is one of the fastest growing styles of yoga today. It combines an uplifting life-affirming philosophy and elegant alignment principles that help students develop a solid foundation to take a yoga practice in any direction. During this 5 week series, we will introduce the basic philosophical underpinnings of Anusara yoga as well as its Universal Principles of Alignment™, to explore the basic poses that a student encounters in any style of yoga. This series is perfect for anyone new to yoga as well as those who want a structured introduction to Anusara Yoga.

Laura Jarrait Flora, Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor, RYT-500, is committed to helping students unfold the fullness of their lives through the elegant system of Anusara Yoga. Laura started practicing yoga when she moved to New Orleans in 1996, and is very grateful for the sound foundation that her first teachers provided. She found Anusara yoga during her evacuation from New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and life has never been the same. It is her heart's desire to share the gifts of this system of yoga given to her by her teachers Sommer and Paul Sobin, Lila Pierce Brown, and Anusara founder, John Friend, to help others connect into the beauty, power, and virtuosity of their own being and of this resplendent universe one asana at a time, and to cultivate a community in which we support one another on this grand adventure.


  

January 20
6:30 - 8:30 pm
Michele Baker and Destiny Toro offer
Sound Bath and Restorative Thai Yoga class in the Mandir  

For Friday Bath nights, you will soak into sweet songs and a primordial gong, along with other sacred instruments for orchestration and a sound reality. Mantra and voice will also sooth the soul. The vibration of the gong is equivalent to our origin of mind. It resonates the seed of all things, the bindu, clearing our nervous system and shattering through deeper layers of our being to a primal, celestial, and familiar place.

Restorative Thai Yoga Therapy:
Based on the Nuad Boran Thai Technique of the Vedas, this is an Ayurvedic healing style of "receiving" yoga. The recipient, lying down the entire time, passively receives yoga positions and a unique form of Thai bodywork and massage. You will rest in restorative yoga poses with the use of bolsters, blankets, and blocks.

TGIF Yoga Series with Certified Anusara Teacher Cat McCarthy, 500-RYT
The name for Friday in Sanskrit, Bhrgu Vāsaram, means "born of fire." Friday is the day associated with Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Venus is the second planet from the sun and is brighter than the other planets and stars in our universe. So when you say "Thank Goddess It's Friday", you are not only celebrating the end of the work week but also embracing the radiant nature of yourself.

Cat will lead you through a fun, empowering, and illuminating class, exploring your own planetary gravitas. Over six sessions, you will deepen the triadic practice of asana, pranayama, and meditation, as well as expand your awareness. Jumpstart the new year, complete each week in the company of kindred bright beings, and set the brilliant foundation for the first half of 2012. All levels welcome!

Valentines Day Partner Yoga Celebration in the Mandir

Partner Yoga is a holistic practice that combines the traditions of yoga and Thai massage with graceful partner flying. This workshop will begin with a centering yoga practice to embody the healing arts of sensitivity, receptivity.

Drawing upon the natural forces of gravity and "metta", loving-kindness, we'll encourage our bodies to let go into deeper states of liberation and relaxation. The flow of basing and flying, giving and receiving, honoring and accepting, inhaling and exhaling will take both yogis into a new place of union and bliss. Practice will include feedback techniques to foster healing and skillful interpersonal communication.

Together we will create a sacred space devoted to love, light and flight.

No partner required, and those attending as couples will be honored.

Sudevi offers
Private Thai Yoga Massage Sessions 
 

Do not miss out on a special private session with our dear guest, Sudevi.
Please email gina@swanriveryoga.com to schedule your private session.

Sudevi is a certified teacher of Integral yoga, Jivamukti yoga, and Vedic Thai yoga bodywork, and has completed a 175 hour internship in Thailand. She is also a Reiki healing and pranic psychotherapist, was inducted into the Massage Hall of Fame in June of 2010. (see www.thaiyogacircle.com for more info.) Nuad Borarn (Thai-Yoga Bodywork) is viewed as a martial art of healing and is reported to manifest instant positive results.

In Thailand, Bodywork is utilized medicinally as a cherished and revered indulgence to remedy the prominent social ailments such as emotional stress and physical inertia. Thai-Yoga sessions inspire the soul and tranquilize the body.

Customarily, a Thai-Yoga Bodywork session lasts about 2 hours, during which there is a surrendering release which allows deeper and deeper physical and mental openings. Flowing rhythmic compressions using feet, knees, palms, elbows, forearms, and fingers are blended with exotic stretching positions known as asanas and disciplined breath control known as pranayama, effectively producing a balanced and harmonious symbiotic communication integrating the body's vital systems, including mechanical-muscoloskeltal, electrical-neural, chemical glandular.


March 17 and 18

9:00 am - 7:00 pm 
Honored Guest Sudevi leads 
Thai Yoga Massage Training in our Mandir 
 

"Thai-Yoga Bodywork is love. It is a sacred offering, a conscious contribution to self-realization and soul revelation, the goal and purpose of life. With deliberate and skillful intentions of joyful communication, Thai-Yoga massage produces profound pleasure and inspiring tranquility physically and psychologically by replacing old, restricted energy patterns within the body/spirit.
Socially revered as a medical folk art, it is commonly reported to revitalize and balance cerebral (emotional) and somatic (physical) ailments instantly. This dignified and communally-cherished art parallels in sophistication results obtained by other modern medical options. Aesthetically pleasing and highly recommended, Thai-Yoga bodywork enhances the quality of living by opening congested chakras (dormant reservoirs of bio-spiritual power) and clearing nadis (electro-magnetic meridian pathways), Nuad Borarn is one of the Original Matriarchs of healing. Its distinction is true in its value of producing dynamic well-being and serenity."
-Michael Buck


Times: from 9am-1pm and 3pm-7pm each day.
Investment: $275

*You may attend 1 session if you have done Thai Massage training before.
One session is: $75 each.

** NOTE Sudevi has worked with the state of LA to insure this course WILL count for additional CEU hours.
16 Louisiana state CE's (and NCBTMB) credits are available for this course.
