The Biomechanics of Yoga: How to Practice Yoga Safely
Ancient yogis were masters at meditation, breathing and spiritual contemplation…but not biomechanics. The 18th century asana practice imported to the West has many benefits but also a number of risky challenges. However, because yoga is deeply integrated with a spiritual philosophy, many are unwilling to question the teachings.
There is no doubt that the practice of yoga has had, and continues to have, a positive impact on people's quality of life. Some of the 'magic' of yoga is an authentic mystery; however, some of the risks are very real. Learn about biomechanics and how a safe yoga practice is one that honours the natural design of the human form. This workshop promises to be one that invites us to question what we believe and empowers us to transform our own practice into a safe one.

Empowered Creator: Reclaiming the Power of the Blood
From Menarche to Menopause and Beyond!
There was a time when women were revered with awe and respect because they had the power to ‘bleed and not die’. Women who grew older and retained the power of the blood were considered the most powerful of all! Thousands of years of patriarchal denigration and demonization of anything female has turned the menstrual cycle into something both women and men are to be ‘protected from’ and menopause into a joke. In reality, every part of a woman’s life cycle is sacred.
Menses is the most natural and ultimate expression of empassioned creativity and the capacity to creature, nurture and sustain life. And the wisdom that comes out of the wringer of menopausal transformation is much needed in the world today. Regardless of the cycle of life you are currently in, healing your relationship with this integral part of yourself is critical to the journey towards self-love. In this workshop, we’ll explore and deconstruct cultural menses and menopause myths from around the world and create new stories and meaning that support a passionate and empowered life...from menarche, to menses...and beyond!
