September 7th, 2008. Alignment Yoga - Breathing Essentials at The St. Paul Yoga Center in St. Paul, MN. One day workshop for those with previous yoga experience.
9 - 11AM: Yoga is more than body - even more than mind/body. Yoga tones the whole of the practitioner: body, mind and spirit. Through removal of blockages in the nadis (energy channels), a clear, robust vitality reveals itself. Using asana, pranayama, bhanda and kriya, experience a calm vitality that opens the door to your inner life. $30
2 - 5PM: We mention the breathing frequently in yoga classes, though the actual physiology of breathing is rarely discussed. Learn the physiology of breathing, the relationship of breathing to posture and commonly found breathing pathologies. Using video footage, lecture and demonstrations, students will learn the proper mechanics of healthy breathing. As breathing bridges the mind and body, participants will also learn specifics exercises to address anxiety and insomnia. $45
Tuition for both classes: $70

September 13-14, 2008. Aromatherapy Course: The Chemistry of Essential Oils, 9am-6pm each day. CEUs available for nurses and massage therapists.
Aromatherapy, while being something of a misnomer, is in reality an effective healing art over 6,000 years old, based on the original form of medicine - plants, and in particular, aromatic plants. Essential oils, distilled from these plants, speak directly to the limbic system, and thus can bring about powerful changes in the mind and body.
Mitzi Forbes, Ph.D. is a professor of nursing at the Milwaukee School
of Engineering. Since becoming certified in aromatherapy and Healing Touch,
she has published several research studies on both. Any of the 4 workshops
can be taken on their own. Those interested in becoming certified will need
to take all 4, although one workshop can be made up through home study.

October 14, 2008. Spectrum Family Yoga: Yoga for Students with Autism or Other Special Needs. 5:30 pm
Alignment Yoga is pleased to announce the formation of this free program geared at children and young adults on the autism spectrum. ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) poses challenges in neural development, particularly with regards to social interactions.

Using Alignment Yoga's fundamentals of grounding and full commitment exhale, we've found profound results in helping kids self-regulate their often powerful emotional reactions. These classes are suitable for those in their teens and early 20's. Transportation is available if needed.
