Buddhist Psychology with Lori Stewart
Sunday October 28th 12:00pm – 4:00pm & Sunday November 11th 12:00pm – 4:00pm
The term “Buddhayana” refers to the ‘core living principles of awakening’ systematized within the body of knowledge known as Buddhist Psychology. In the Yoga Dharma, Buddhayana falls into the category of “Jnana” (knowledge) Yoga, wherein students may immerse themselves in the wisdom of the ancients that has been codified and carried forward through time by the awakened teachers. In this eight-hour course, yoga students will have the opportunity to engage the intellectual and experiential study of Buddhayana for the immanent purpose of self-realization, and the practical purpose of bringing healing and enlightenment to all they teach and touch. Students will learn and apply several of the twenty-six principles of Buddhist Psychology. They will engage in a variety of experiential practices ranging from dream interpretation to Buddhist chanting to Sufi mantra to the Aikido uchi komi.
Suggested Course Text: “The Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology,” by Jack Kornfield
Professor S. Lori Stewart is a Professor in the Religious Studies Department at San Diego State University, where she teaches undergraduate classes in World Religions, Religion & Psychology, and Goddess Studies. Professor Stewart is an ordained minister (Cherag) and teacher (Khalifah) in the Sufi Movement International. She has trained in the martial art of Aikido for 12 years and currently holds the rank of Sandan (3rd degree black belt).
Saturday November 10th, 2:00pm -6:00pm
Here is an opportunity to take your teaching to a deeper level, where your students will more directly experience the goal of your teaching. When a yoga instructor teaches a class in a normal, everyday, scattered state of mind, the students are short-changed because they are not led to an experience of themselves. On the other hand, when the teacher teaches from Presence, the students are induced into that state and get a direct experience of the goal of yoga. This workshop includes a talk, clear guidance, powerful experiential exercises, and support to begin your journey of teaching from presence. Specifics covered include speaking with presence, centering, meditative voice, and breath practices that enable teaching from presence.
Intro to Thai Yoga Therapy with Anne Joseph
(6 Hours over 2 days)
Saturday July 21, 1:30-4:30pm & Sunday July 22, 1:30-4:30pm
Sometimes known as the “Lazy Man’s Yoga”, Thai Yoga Massage, or Thai Yoga Therapy was the medicine of the Buddha. Thai Yoga Therapy is a form of restorative yoga; a synthesis of yoga, ayurveda, meditation and massage. It provides a blissful magical hands-on blend of 90-180 minutes or more of compressions, passive stretching, passive joint movement, Harawork, acupressure, reflexology, trigger point, cranio-sacral, and shiatsu like techniques all rolled up into one treatment. This therapy evolved from Ayurveda and integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine, finally being preserved as it flourished in Thailand. Receiving Thai Yoga Therapy is like getting a 2-3 hour yoga session without doing any of the work yourself; the practitioner puts you into postures and massages you while you are there.No previous experience or knowledge required! Especially appropriate for partners. Beginners welcome!
