Desires, Dreams & Dharma: A Free Talk

Stay TUNED!

Desires can be complicated. There are desires that we notice on the surface: snuggling up to watch tv, eating your favorite cookies, or relaxing with a glass or two of wine. Desires can also look like taking a walk in the afternoon, hugging your loved one, or writing in your journal. There are soo many layers and flavors of desire!

When we start to get curious, we can begin to recognize which of our desires come from a deeper place: a longing to sleep deeply, have boundless energy, engage in meaningful relationships, or live with more ease. And, it’s when we start to tell the difference between that which is on the surface to that which lies deeper, we can begin to get more clarity on our dreams. (Because, let’s be honest, we never ever stop dreaming. We just simply stop believing.)

At any stage in life, we can reignite our true purpose by clarifying what matters most and why  – no matter what stage of life we are living.

In this talk, we’ll begin to scratch the surface and look at ways we can uncover what is possible.

Ayurveda & Yoga Training & Workshops

Saturday-Sunday, March 25 -26 at The Center Yoga

A four-part weekend for yoga teachers and curious students of yoga and life.

Overview:

Ayurveda is the study of life.

This beautiful art and science emerged several thousand years ago in India and is one of the first and longest-lasting systematic healing practices. And there’s a reason why it’s still around and practiced today. It really works and can have profound positive effects on our physical, mental, energetic, and spiritual health. Though Ayurveda can at first seem confusing when seen for its different parts, it can actually be beautifully simple. Ayurveda studies the whole person and our unique relationship to nature and all aspects of life.

Yoga and Ayurveda are really two sides of a coin, and really ought not be separated. And yet, most yoga teachers and students of yoga are less familiar with the teachings and practices of this ancient art and are missing out on radiant health!

This training is for yoga teachers or curious seekers who are looking to infuse some of the basic teachings into their life and be able to share them with their students, family, and friends.

Participants will not only gain simple tools to infuse into daily life but each person will also begin to design daily practices (dinacharya.) These practices will help us to relieve stress, strengthen our digestion, honor our daily rhythms, sleep better, and strengthen our immune system. You will each become more in tune with the rhythms of nature – on the inside and out. It’s the ultimate loving practice of svadhyaya or self-study.

Most importantly you’ll get to know yourself better so you can show up as a teacher, parent, co-worker, counselor, lover, or friend more fully and completely.

Details for the weekend:

This four-part weekend can be taken as a whole (recommended) or students can take any of the workshops individually. Yoga Alliance CEC’s can be applied.

Aging with Grace: A Free Talk

Tuesday, January 24 
6:45-7:45 pm ONLINE

So many of us know it’s possible, but it can be hard to really understand what it means to age with grace. We are living longer as a society, and yet, like never before, we have a dizzying array of choices we can make every day that will enhance our lives so we can live to be stronger and live more fully in the bodies we have!

Sure, on the one hand, we expect things to be different. Our physiology is changing every day. We are absolutely not the person we were yesterday.

And that’s ok. Our bodies may be a little stiffer, skin a little dryer, and tastes a little simpler, but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to feel strong and full of vim and vigor! We can actually improve our health as we age and we absolutely feel better now than we ever have.

The key is to notice what our body is telling us about the aging process AND what our mind is saying. That’s what really slows us down!

So, let’s talk. Let’s look at ways the wisdom of Ayurveda – a simple yet sacred way of living – can enhance our body, mind, energy, and spirit so we can embrace the beautiful journey we are on (and with a pep in our step.)

Ayurveda 101

Tuesday, September 6

7:15-8:15 pm (in person and online!)

Ayurveda is known as the sister science to yoga. Defined as life knowledge, this ancient holistic healing practice has grown alongside yoga for thousands of years and continues to heal people using wisdom gathered from nature. Often, we get caught up in the details and miss the potency of these practices by making them too complicated.
 
In this free 60-minute talk, we’ll go over the basic teachings of the first known systemized healing practice and how it works. We’ll discuss how Ayurveda helps us to align, heal ourselves naturally, and come more in synch with our daily rhythms for more easeful living.
 
This talk will be both live and online, and a recording will also be available for 30 days.

Breathe to Heal

Thursday, September 16

7:15-8:15 pm (in person and online!)

How are you feeling?
 
Did you know that the way we breathe (or don’t!) can influence our perspective, how we process stress, and even heal us or make us sick? By learning to focus on the breath, we can deliberately choose to heal ourselves – body, mind, and spirit. Even the simplest breathing practices can have profound effects on our overall health & well-being.
 
Join Suzanne McCahill Perrine for this special 1-hour workshop to discuss some of the fundamentals of the lost art of breathing, both from a western and an eastern perspective. Participants will learn and practice basic breathing techniques (called pranayama the yoga tradition) to use as tools to apply directly to life. All are welcome.

Self-Care for Steadiness, Resilience & Ease

A 4-Week Online Course Starting August 2

Early Bird Discount through July 15

We are all continually working through challenges in our lives. How it’s affecting our inner and outer worlds may be unique to each of us, but we’re all connected by a shared human experience. Especially since 2020! And, over the course of our years of working hard, raising kids, adapting to one change after another, or taking care of others, we might feel a little depleted.

 

In our moving forward and trying to figure out what is next all the time, we sometimes forget to pause, take a breath, and deeply listen to what our body, mind, and spirit are calling out for.

 

Some of us may even have some habits or conditions that have crept in and are no longer serving us:

* not sleeping soundly or not getting adequate rest

* noticing more stress, anxiety, irritability, or sadness 

* eating too much or too often

* eating foods that make us feel sluggish or deplete us of energy

* over-indulging in sugar, alcohol, caffeine, or some other addictive substances

* digestive issues

* not taking time for yourself! 

 

So, what if you took just 6-weeks to pause and recalibrate – shake things up as you take care of yourself?

 

Through the teachings of Ayurveda, we can learn to harness energy to make us more powerful and resilient, and adaptable. Slowly, we can build our inner reserves of strength and adaptability so we don’t as easily become depleted. We reignite our inner luster. 

 

This unique course is for you. It’s just 6-weeks. And you’re worth it. You may discover you absolutely love how you feel.

Tuesdays 12-1:00 ET: Weekly Meetings around the topics: Rest, Digest, Move, Breathe

Spring Refresh & Renew

a 15-Day Strategy to Get Clear, Connect & Create Space

Springtime is cleaning time!

 
Let’s clear out. Let’s create space, and open up:
  • our body
  • our mind
  • our heart
  • our home
Give yourself time to rejuvenate, eat nourishing food, breathe deeply, and meditate. Give yourself time to refresh yourself.
 
The new season is a perfect time to make a change and to do a cleanse. Through the practice of the ancient art & sciences of Ayurveda and yoga, we will look at which healthy habits and foods will give the body energy and help it to reset and to refresh based on the season and individual needs.
 
Participants will be given various techniques to remove winter build-up and stagnation, improve digestion, and strengthen the immune system…to feel bright and new!
 
Please note, this is not about losing weight, though if that is something you are looking for, that can absolutely happen. Detoxing is about clearing out on many different levels of our being. It’s said in yoga and Ayurveda that we each have five different body layers (koshas), so we will address all layers during our time together. Participants can go as light or as deep as they want to during this Spring Detox, depending on unique needs and desires.
 
Included:
  • 3 hybrid meetings (both in-person and online, 7-8 pm. Recordings available)
  • recorded teaching videos to support your cleanse
  • 2 30-minute online yoga classes to reflect and support your cleanse (9:00 am ET Wednesdays. Recordings available.)
  • printable detox handbook
  • invitation to FB Forum/online discussions
This is for those of us who:
  • want to experience a lighter body, mind, or heart
