Upcoming Events
Sunday February 12, 2012, 11am-4pm
Exploring the Subtle Body with Pat Harada Linfoot and Scott Davis at Octopus Garden
Take a journey with Scott and Pat through the 7 primary energy centres of the body, the chakras. This integrative workshop will explore the subtle body using asana, pranayama, meditation, and sound. From the grounding roots of the first chakra, to the expansive possibilities of the seventh, our energetic bodies contain the potential for greater emotional, spiritual, and psychological well-being. Tune your awareness to the deep undercurrents of sensation, thought, emotion, and breath in order to cultivate balance, understanding, and freedom within yourself. Darren Austin Hall will also provide restorative and energizing music with the healing therapy of the crystal bowls. $120.

Crystal Yoga at Moksha Downtown with Jackie Szabo.
Saturday Feb. 18, 2012 730-930pm
Shaking to Shine: An Evening of Ecstatic Healing and Shaking Medicine.
Downward Dog Downtown.
Shaking Medicine entails the shaking of the body in ecstatic ways to encounter the wild and powerful forces of life within us and that are us. This healing practice has its roots in cultures the world over, from the shaking ceremonies of the Kalahari Bush people, to the Shaker Churches and even the shaking practices of the Japanese Samurai. Shaking Medicine invites us to unleash ourselves fully in expression, releasing stagnant energies and feelings in a profound way that can affect incredible positive transformation. In a society like ours, downtrodden by social mores that congest our bodies with lack of movement and scarce honouring of the ecstatic powers of life, Shaking Medicine provides wondrous relief and an opportunity to feel ourselves in a whole new light. Join Darren Austin Hall as he facilitates co-created liberation! Please wear comfortable clothes that you can really move in. And be prepared to sweat a bit or even more depending on how surrendered you become to the shake. The actual shake will be for approx. 45-60mins and the event shall begin with a brief presentation by Darren to build the context. Following the shake, a crystal singing bowl grounding meditation will follow to balance things and allow for some time for integration. An optional sharing circle will close.
It is advisable to register beforehand here. $20 + HST

Kula Yoga in the Annex (304 Brunswick Ave./2nd floor)
While change can bring renewal, growth and new opportunities, it can also be stressful, tiresome and leave us feeling unbalanced or depleted. It is not uncommon to come down with a cold, suffer from allergies or experience sleep, digestive or menstrual disturbances during these times. Acupuncture can help your body transition through times of change by helping your body cope with stress, balancing your body's subtle energy systems, and supporting your body's natural healing processes. Kula offers acupuncture in a community setting. Please call 416 922 5852 to make an appointment :)
