In this Detox Ritual Yoga Workshop, TeriLeigh will guide you through a physical asana practice inspired by the teaching of Seane Corn. The series is designed to rinse, cleanse, and process the physical toxins in our bodies. Through compression, decompression, and twists, every organ, tendon, muscle, ligament, and tissue in the body is worked towards optimal purification. The practice is ideally held in a heated room to promote sweat. During the practice, TeriLeigh's hands-on assists, energetic healing practice, and spiritual guidance offer a full and complete experience in which students will feel cleansed, purified, rejuvenated, and connected with the truth of their essence, LOVE.

Body Wisdom Workshop
Date: Sunday, November 14 2010
Time: 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Cost: $50
The number one cause, and arguably the only cause, for any physical or mental or emotional challenge is stress. After years of study both on her own mat and by watching the bodies of her students, TeriLeigh has developed the Body Wisdom system of understanding what types of stress typically take residence in what parts of the body and what types of injury or illness tend represent what deeper spiritual or emotional blockages from balance.
How one performs a yoga pose and where one feels tightness, challenge, pain, or discomfort in a yoga pose can help identify the types of stress and particular spiritual and emotional issues or energetic blockages the practitioner is experiencing. In essence the body is constantly talking to us - The louder the pain, the louder the body's voice. Thus, if we listen to the body whisper, we will never have to hear it scream. In TeriLeigh's Body Wisdom Yoga Workshop students will learn to listen to the language of body. TeriLeigh will outline the typical types of stresses held in the different parts of the body. Yoga practitioners will develop a greater awareness of their own practice, why certain poses have challenged them and what injuries may be trying to tell them about their lives.
