The Yoga of Eating: Permanent weight loss and emotional freedom workshop with John Douillard


Ayurveda, the medical system of Yoga, has been treating stress as the underlying cause of disease for over 5,000 years. When we're under stress, our body naturally stores fat. These fat cells contain the molecules of emotion. It is these molecules that trigger emotional eating, causing us to eat the same comfort foods over and over again.

 

In order to release these toxic chemicals and emotions from our fat cells, we must reignite the body's ability to burn stored fat as a major source of fuel. Once that is accomplished, we can free ourselves from cravings, balance anxiety and depression, and sleep better-in just two short weeks.

 

In this one day workshop with Master Teacher and Ayurvedic and Chiropractic Physician, John Douillard-- you will learn simple and profound tools for diet, exercise, yoga, and herbal support to help lose weight and restore optimal health.

 

John Douillard, PhD, has been teaching Ayurvedic medicine, natural health, fitness, and nutrition for 17 years. Dr. John Douillard is a specialist in Ayurvedic medicine. who codirected Deepak Chopra's Ayurvedic center for eight years. Currently he directs the LifeSpa School of Ayurveda and practices Ayurvedic and chiropractic medicine at LifeSpa in Boulder, Colorado. Visit www.lifespa.com.

Shakti of the Heart: Journey Into Abundance and Bliss

 

Shakti (spiritual energy) is the ultimate path to liberation. To control your senses through the breath is to still the mind and begin to feel the reality of the self. As you go deeper within the self and begin to live within the abundance of love, you look at the world in a deeper way. You begin to love without fear, and there is an opening in the heart where surrender begins. There is a new amount of shakti ready to flow through your being. This is the path to liberation. Once you jump, there is no going back, and the ongoing shakti of bliss sustains you. The aim is not to try to achieve liberation. The aim is just to be and to live in the full glory of your own greatness.

Join us for a weekend intensive with Ma Jaya as she ignites the shakti of the heart and teaches us how to open ourselves fully to the abundance and bliss all around us. Through the ancient practices of yoga, breath awareness and meditation, Ma Jaya will teach us how to open the heart and begin the journey into our bliss.

 

Cost: $325. Early bird $295 by March 13th.

Intensive with Ma Jaya

Embracing Death in Life

In life there are two kinds of death; death of the body and death of the ego. Often death signifies a beginning. When ego death comes to a thought that you believe in, you become free from that thought as well as the feelings connected to it. In this way, as ego death enters into your life, you become stronger. Death becomes your friend as it frees you from that which you do not need.

 

This intensive is about death, every aspect of it; especially the death that we can experience every day of our lives. This awareness of ego death brings us to the strength of who we are as we embrace death in life.

 

Cost: $375 or $325 before June 25, 2009. Price includes cost of Gurupurnima.
