Numerology of the Soul: A Kundalini & Numerology Workshop w/ Breanne Wood
Friday at Align Amar Yoga in Tinton Falls
Join us for a lighthearted evening full of soulful practice and an esoteric journey. We will begin with a candle lit Kundalini yoga practice and follow with a short Numerology lecture. You will leave with newfound clarity and tools to better align you with your destiny. Kundalini yoga is an ancient technology that uses breath work, asana, and deep meditation. This alchemical process not only aids in optimal physical health, but helps to release “Kundalini Shakti” our divine spiritual power. Numerology is based on the notion that everything is connected, and that everything exists in perfect synchronicity with everything else. By that standard, your birthdate is a unique code with hidden messages designed specifically for you!

Yoga for Scoliosis: An Introduction
Saturday at Honor Yoga in Pennington
Can Yoga help to re-map postural imbalances and alleviate the physical discomfort often experienced with abnormal curvature of the spine, commonly known as scoliosis? How does someone with scoliosis or spinal fusion practice yoga? This introductory workshop with Liz Alvarez, PT and Yoga Teacher, begins with an overview and discussion of how scoliosis is defined and classified. Then we will explore the role that yoga, modified for various types of curve patterns, can play as a complementary practice to traditional treatment methods. Students will then learn specific yoga poses, breathing techniques, modification recommendations, and basic sequencing guidelines ideally suited to address spinal asymmetry and encourage a deeper level of mind body awareness.
Saturday at Studio Yoga in Madison
The practice of backbend asana rejuvenates and strengthens the spine. As the chest expands the lungs become more elastic, breathing is enhanced, and posture is improved. Overall, one gains a sense of well-being and a positive outlook on life.This workshop will guide you through preliminary work to prepare the spine for moving through simple backbends to the more complex. Care will be given to those that need extra assistance. It is recommended that students have studied yoga for a minimum of one year and do not have significant back issues (such as rods in the back).
