Anatomy Trains for Yoga
Myofascial Meridians for the Movement Therapist
Taught by Eli Thompson
Anatomy Trains for Yoga is Tom Myers' revolutionary re-vision of musculo-skeletal anatomy. Yoga is a body-wide experience and the traditional parts-based anatomy often serves to confuse rather than enhance its practice. The Anatomy Trains maps out how muscles fascially connect to each other, forming a series of myofascial continuities from head to toe and from birth to death. The Anatomy Trains help explain how one tight area can create a series of compensations that distort and hinder our everyday movement as well as our practice. By opening and engaging these continuities Yoga helps us experience our seamless unity.
This workshop gives a new perspective on anatomy and how it relates to Yoga. We will explore the 12 Anatomy Trains and how they either support or hinder our intentions. We will learn to see them in many poses and practice assisting each other to deepen our experience of the lines in asana. Come explore!
$275 through Feb 2, 2012; $345 after

Karin Stephan
Friday, August 5, 2011
7 to 9 p.m.
Saturday, August 6, 2011
10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
and 2 to 4 p.m.
In this workshop, Karin will teach how focusing on the art of precision and alignment in the poses can lead to a deeper quality of understanding and practice in our daily lives. We will look at how paying attention to the smaller detail leads to an ease and comfort in the pose as a whole, and also how shifts in the smaller pattern both qualifies and modulates the larger pattern. Individual asymmetries and misalignments will be taken into consideration as we adjust ourselves towards a more aligned and precise sensation in the body. As part of this process, Karin will demonstrate her observation and analysis work giving each and every participant not only a greater understanding of the pose, but a greater understanding of their own bodies as well.
$45 for each class or $110 for all three sessions.

The Art of Practicing Iyengar Yoga
with Sharon Conroy
July 29 and 30, 2010
The Iyengar tradition asks us to be curious. It wants us to practice each pose with fresh eyes and to see where and how the effects of the actions we give our body play out. Over time, working in this manner, we transform our body and our mind. Our poses become more balanced and aligned and slowly but surely our mind quiets, moving towards stillness and silence.
Friday, July 29, 7–9 p.m., $45
Saturday, July 30, 10:30 a.m.–1 p.m., $55
Saturday, July 30, 4–6 p.m., $45
All three classes $115 before July 15, $130 after July 15.
These classes are open to anyone who has studied yoga regularly, in any tradition, for at least one year. Each class will include asana and pranayama, with the first two classes being more active and primarily asana and the third class being primarily restorative poses and pranayama.
To register, contact Zack Dixon: zack@quietmindstudio.com or 508 349 2429

Introduction to Sanskrit
Chanting Workshop
Saturday, June 4, 2011
10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. | $20
Presented by Shanta and Indira Bulkin
of the East West Sanskrit Institute
Sanskrit is a tool for transformation and meditation, which, when chanted, evokes powerful vibrations within. In this workshop we will introduce and lead the chanting of Sanskrit alphabet, verbs, nouns, hymns, mantras, etc., and have periods of meditation to directly feel the result of the chanting.
Indira Bulkin is co-founder, along with her husband Shanta, of the East West Sanskrit Institute in San Francisco, California. She began her intensive Sanskrit language studies in 1971 under the guidance of Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, (formerly known as Dr. Ramamurti S. Mishra). Her studies continued at UC Berkeley, earning an undergraduate degree in Sanskrit while taking graduate level classes, and with Dr. Ram Karan Sharma, one of the world's foremost Sanskrit scholars. She also has a Master's degree in Physical Therapy and maintains a clinical practice in the Mission District of San Francisco. Her personal interests include Yoga Vedanta texts, Sanskrit hymns, Paninian linguistics and Sanskrit poetry.
Shanta Bulkin is co-founder of the East West Sanskrit Institute in San Francisco, California. He has been teaching entry level Sanskrit for the last 15 years in both private and group settings. Initially he studied with Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati in 1972, and has continued his Sanskrit studies for the last 12 years with world renowned Sanskrit scholar Ram Karan Sharma. Shanta has lived in the Ananda Ashram in New York state and Brahmananda Ashram in San Francisco. Following in the lineage of his teachers, Shanta uses the study of Sanskrit as a tool for meditation and shares the power of this approach with his students. He also has a career in construction, which began in 1975 with building of the temple at Brahmananda Ashram.

$275 before January 7, $345 after
Seeing is touch at a distance. —Ida Rolf
Bodyreading is both an art and a skill. With practice, one can see through all the mixed signals of the clients' symptoms and limitations to the heart of the problem. Using Bodyreading you can read the skeleton's relative position, SEE the soft-tissue restraints involved in creating the position, and formulate effective global and local strategies for unwinding the problem using the expertise of your modality.
We will learn how we grow our limitations throughout life, the roll Fascia plays in locking them in, and how they end up limiting our daily lives and lead us to future injuries. With a full class of clients we will explore standing posture, breath, seated posture, and walking gait. We will learn a simple but concise language for describing the imbalances we find and practice building treatment plans using various modalities such as Manipulation, Yoga, Pilates, and Strength Training.
