YOGA AND BELLYDANCING
Bellydance is an art form that has existed from between 4000BC and 500 BC known by many different names, practiced in a multitude of forms in every continent of the world. Men, women and children of all ages, of all different shapes and sizes from different cultures and at different times of history have practiced bellydance as part of their culture and heritage. The benefits of bellydance are well worth the effort for relieving fatigue, energizing your body, mind and spirit! The movements are powerful and hypnotic! The more energized movements are beneficial for people with depression and or anxiety disorders. Bellydance can enhance your self confidence with the same intentions we bring to our yoga practice. It can also be practiced as a prenatal exercise in its more fluid movements to strengthen the pelvic muscles and relaxes the mother to be. The movements also help a mother to connect with her child and helps with post pregnancy recovery.Please wear yoga pants and a sleeveless summer top because you may get hot! Bring water, maybe a yoga mat, an open mind and your sense of humor!

Breathe Well, Be Well - A workshop with Chris Bauman
Breath and body are partnered in a mutually responsive relationship. When we participate in their dynamic movements we discover breath as a process rather than a mystery. Becoming more conscious of this inter-penetrating and inter-receptive partnership we make choices that propel its growth rather than weaken its processes, providing energy, harmony and health at all levels of the organism.
“Breath is the foundation of good health.”
This breath awareness class focuses on the dynamics of breathing, and its importance and function in being healthy. The breath is one of the most important tools we have; its power to intervene and assist with the challenges of everyday life has been know since ancient times. The goal of this breathing workshop is to help people access that power and use it to make their lives more nourishing, more comfortable, and more breathable.
We will engage in breathing exercises, vocalization, using our voices more effectively and without strain, strengthening our diaphragms and awareness exercises – all designed to increase our awareness of good breathing and what to do when it’s not!
Bring your symptoms of air hunger, breathlessness, chronic sighing or yawning, nasal problems, colds and cough;“I would strongly encourage anyone who is having breathing problems to take the Buteyko breathing workshop or 5-session course. It is simple and easy. Thanks Chris for helping me get back to a better life.”
Bring your asthma, allergies, emphysema, chronic bronchitis;
Bring your sleep apnoea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome;
Bring your high blood pressure, palpitations, light-headedness and angina;
Bring your forgetfulness, depression, irritability, anxiety and lack of concentration:
Bring them all and experience how to alleviate them today.

HART LAZER TRAINING PROGRAMS
Hart Lazer is internationally recognized as a teacher of yoga teachers. He leads workshops and teacher training courses throughout Canada and the U.S., as well as Mexico, Costa Rica, and India. After 25 years devoted to the practice and teaching of Iyengar Yoga under the tutelage of Ramanand Patel, Hart broadened his practice to include Ashtanga Yoga. He soon found himself using a multi-dimensional repertoire of techniques to help teachers and practitioners of all styles reduce pain, heal injuries, activate dormant muscles to re-align bones, engage the inner organs, and employ pranayama and chanting to deepen their practice.
