Desires, Dreams & Dharma: A Free Talk
Monday, May 6, 2024
4:00-5:15 ONLINE at The Center Yoga Collective
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.)

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.
