Summer Solstice Celebration at Prana Studio in Annapolis

Posted by | Jun 20, 2012 | , |

From Kathleen at Prana… Summer Solstice Celebration at Prana Studio  Wednesday, June 20, 2012 5-7pm A traditional summer solstice practice (and definite tradition at Prana) is 108 sun salutations. If you’ve ever done them, you know that it is serious meditation in motion. After awhile, the body moves without the patterning of the mind and synchronizes with the breath. For tomorrow, try the 108. It takes about 2hrs, taking breaks to meditate and breathe when needed, and doing sun salutations. Let’s Celebrate this beautiful, long day of sun and Challenges. As Thich Nhat Hanh says, “Breathe! You are alive.” See You on Your Mat Soon!!...

Therapeutic Workshop with Lucy Lomax – Healing From the Ground Up

Posted by | May 30, 2012 | , |

Just added to AnnapolisYogaCalendar.com… Saturday June 2nd – Therapeutic Workshop with Lucy Lomax – Healing From the Ground Up. Lucy has an amazing knowledge of yoga and the human body and teaches a really fun and personalized workshop. I’ll never forget my first workshop with Lucy. She took one look at my form and alignment and had some very specific suggestions – like ‘this is your new child’s pose’ when she saw what one of my favorite resting variations was doing to my neck. Funny thing was that she couldn’t be more right, and I now use my new variation in all classes I take – and no longer have neck pain from the pose. She also gave me great advice that changed the way I do every pose involving lifting the neck. Since then I’ve taken many classes with her and she has been incredibly helpful in working with me to modify my form to help me recover from a number of past physical injuries. Lucy can be contacted at: http://www.serenitybayyoga.com  ...
