Dave Stringer!  The Synergy Studio is thrilled to bring Dave Stringer to San Antonio! Don't miss this experience!
Sunday, November 4
7:00 pm "A volcano of a voice! Stringer gave the room a feeling of a downhome gospel jam, and one couldn't help but sing along." -- L.A. Yoga Pages Kirtan is a practice of mantra chanting that stills the mind and frees the heart. Sung in call-and-response form, it is an up-lifting, magical experience.
Stringer's sound infuses the mysticism of traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant intensity of American gospel and jazz, and he is regarded as one of the most gifted singers in the genre.
An engaging speaker with an unorthodox perspective, he has a special ability for making the Sanskrit chants come alive and inspiring people to sing. His work creates a modern and participatory theatrical experience out of the ancient traditions of kirtan and yoga, open to a multiplicity of interpretations, and accessible to all.
Dave is FUN!
 Based in Los Angeles, since 2000 Stringer and his ensemble have produced 6 CDs and toured North America, Europe and Australia tirelessly.

This 2 hour workshop will take the very basic nature of breathing to new levels of understanding, practice, and development. By sharing some important information on breathing anatomy and physiology, Meg will guide you as you build your breath awareness, practice appropriate breathing technique, and enjoy various breathing exercises.
Breathing exercises not only increase the capacity of your lungs (allowing for more oxygen to nourish your cells and more prana to enrich your life), but they also cleanse the lungs and purify the blood that's coursing through your body! Following many seated breathing exercises, we will practice a variety of Sun Salutations that build in intensity, recognizing that Sun Salutations are the ULTIMATE breathing exercise!
This workshop is designed for the established yogi who wants to increase awareness and application of proper breathing in his/her yoga practice. Those who are new
to yoga are welcome to attend, but the physical practice will be intermediate rather than beginner, so be aware
of this please.
All who attend will enjoy a lengthy relaxation following the practice
Date: Sunday, October 21 Time: 1:00-3:00 pm
Cost: $25.

Ecstatic Dance San Antonio
Join our new dance community!
Two Fridays! October 12, 26
7:00-9:00pm
Sliding scale donation: $8-20/person... cash only
San Antonio Ecstatic Dance invites you to join in the formation of a new dance community. The process is evolving and exciting. This dance is created by the community, in the community, to serve the community. Contribute your presence. Dance from your essence. The time is now to express whatever it is you want, to be whoever you are, and take your place on the dance floor!
Movement, rhythm, and music have been used by cultures throughout the world for millennia to induce healing and ecstatic states of being. Gathering together in community on the dance floor, in movement, music, and breath activates potent life force energy for creation and transformation. Ecstatic dance may be used as a form of active meditation or prayer where music from around the world combined with free-form self-guided movement and breath are used to shift brain wave patterns from the day-to-day busyness to the more meditative and insightful alpha state. In this state, you may more easily access creative and expanded visions of your life and purpose. At the very least, you will exercise, release tension,
and have fun!
Guidelines:
- Non-verbal space
- Barefoot, no shoes on the dance floor
- Dance however the music moves you
- Be sensitive to your own boundaries and safety and those of others
- Leave behind judgment of self and others.
- Mirrors will be covered to encourage letting go of the distraction of appearances
What to bring: Your personal presence, respect for all, water bottle, comfortable clothes, bare feet, optional items for the community space (flowers/stones/your jewelry to charge in the ceremony). Come as you are - and bring a friend!

Jennelle Gordon joins the studio offering
Integrative Nutrition!
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding.
Together we'll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy. As we work together, you'll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.
What is coaching? It is a six month program with 12 sessions, two each month, either done at the synergy studio or over phone, for your The session is 50 minutes of listening, support, and hands on help, to aid you in living your best life, physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. The six month program is $100 per month and the initial consult is free if you sign up for the program. A 10% discount will be applied to those who pay in full at the time of signing up.
What's included? A step by step easily integrated program with free samples and pamphlets, guidance in purchasing your groceries at the local organic market, assistance in healthy meal preparation and the bimonthly consultations. I have direct emails and my personal website all readily available to assist you on your journey to wellness!
What is the return? improving your self confidence, your energy level, your relationships, and your life satisfaction.

coming November 3!
A dream is a depth marker. It tells you where to dive.
Join Jan Jarboe Russell, Nia black belt, dreamtender, and writer, for this workshop which will be a deep dive into finding your own wildest dream. What do the images from your night dreams -- those diamonds that sparkle as you sleep - have to tell you about what it is you want to achieve, the obstacles to living your dream, and the magic key that unlocks your potential and your creativity?
The workshop includes amplifying your dream, writing (or drawing) your dream, and moving your dream through dance.
This work is based on the premises that ALL dreams come in service of health and wholeness. All dreams reflect inborn creativity and ability to face and solve life''s problems.
During the workshop we will amplify your dream, flash-write or flash-draw your dream and what it might mean, and move the dream. At 4 p.m. we will move into the regularly scheduled Nia class and give full expression to our dreams within the greater Nia community.
Date: Saturday, November 3
Time: 2 pm to 5:30 p.m.
Where: The Synergy Studio.
Cost: $30.
