Students will work individually and with partners to enhance postures, balance, focus and alignment through this simple and practical intuitive system. Increase health, strength and stamina. Reduce stress, fatigue or possibility for injury. Become more present. Tap into your breath. Drea is a certified health intuitive and Hanna Kroeger Practitioner.

3pm-5pm	Karma Yoga: turning intention into action. Seane Corn, Hala Khouri, Suzanne Sterling. Date : 2008-08-24 Duration : 3pm - 5pm Description : Do not miss this empowering workshop from the top national conscious activism teachers. Karma Yoga: turning intention into action. with Seane Corn, Hala Khouri and Suzanne Sterling Karma yoga is the yoga of action. Many yogis are full of good intentions, yet they lack the tools to translate their intentions into effective action in their lives. One of the vital components of karma yoga is community. Action and intention held by a community of people can be much more powerful than that of just an individual. Leaders like Ghandi and Martin Luther King, Jr. had powerful communities behind them. Through asana, introspective and group exercises, you will expore your personal passion- what does your service look like? What is the root of your passion? How is this best expressed in the world.
