We are very pleased to be able to offer a Jivamukti Yoga weekend here at Earth Yoga. We welcome Petros* to our studio in Santa Catalina on 23 - 24 August where he will be hosting the following events.......
Jivamukti Masterclass
Jivamukti Yoga Phylosophy & Practice
Transform yourself with Jivamukti Yoga. A workshop to meet and learn about the 5 tenets of Jivamukti Yoga: A Jivamukti Yoga class involves an ever changing flow of postures (vinyasa) that is intended to challenge you on many levels. The teaching revolves around a theme based on ancient wisdom and emphasizes the importance of practicing with an elevated intention. Chanting, meditation, and inspiring music are an important part in this form of practice.
The five tenets of Jivamukti Yoga are:
Scripture ~ source teachings from the ancient Sanskrit scriptures.
Bhakti ~ devotion; finding a greater purpose for our lives.
Ahimsa ~ non-harming; understanding how our actions affect other beings.
Music ~ Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound), chanting and listening to good music.
Meditation ~ turning inwards and reconnecting to our true selves
Date : Saturday 23 August
Time : 11 – 1.30pm
Price : 35€

Kriya / Asana / Pranayama - a Jivamukti Yoga Workshop
Patanjali discribes the ashtanga yoga, the eight-limbed yoga path in his Yoga-Sutras. A possible aprroach to an open perspective, deep understanding and the experience of our unlimited potential and creativity. The different practices allow us to slowly sharpen our focus on the unchangeable true nature of our existence, which we eventually meet within us. Due to our way of living, our diet, social conditioning - due to our definition of what's real or not (mostly given through the collective consciousness of our environment) and our perception, based upon those principles, a honest view on our own truth, covered by this veil becomes rather difficult. In this workshop we will approach parts of those practices and establish a possible connection to our great potential. With kriyas and practices of nada-yoga (the yoga of sound) we will cleanse our koshas (body-layers) deeply - so a feeling of clarity and balance can arise. When the body, mind and breath are cleared and opened through those practices, we set the base for a dynamic, challenging asana-practice (for all levels, some experience is recommended, though). What we started with kriyas, we will continue with asana on a more subtle level. Becoming aware of the energy within us, we will then begin a journey towards our very core - through pranayama, conscious, focused breathing we eventually arrive at a point of clarity, peace and freedom. Finally, here we find total silence. A silence that doesn't occur through the outside, but arises from within, with a smile....

Kirtan with Petros & support
Music is something moving, the proof of the Greek quote "panta rei - always flowing" And when the further ingredients are devotion and prensence, something magic can happen,something that has been described by yogis as "ananda - bliss". This state is nothing far, fixed or framed. It is the state, when intuition, strength and spirit harmonise in the Now. Harmonies are the foundation of music - and so we come together to spontaneously experience, what the word itself actually describes: Harmony (greek: armonia: to bring together; the union of opposites to one whole). So the greek root of the word, that describes the union of opposites is nothing other than something very familiar to us: Yoga!
Date : Sunday 24 August
Time : 8.30pm
Price : 25€
There is a special price of 80€ if attending both workshops and Kirtan
