Eye of the Tiger Practice
with Kilkenny Tremblay
 
Ambler Center: Saturday, Mar. 6th Ambler Center: Saturday, Mar. 6th

Come practice and play alongside Anusara Certified Instructor, Kilkenny, and the Twisters' Kula (Community of the Heart). In this invigorating and fun practice, Kilkenny will give direction and guidance as we explore the full spectrum of asanas (including standing poses, inversions, hip openers, handbalancings, backbends, twists and forward bends) with emphasis on deepening basic forms and radically expanding body and mind for more challenging ones. An advanced practice ideal for experienced students, teachers and all who long for freedom (must have basic knowledge of handstand at wall and Urdhva Dhanurasana/full wheel with no major injuries please). Enjoy this expanded experience of your yoga practice and take your practice to the next level.

Kilkenny Tremblay is a Certified Anusara Yoga teacher, which is one of the hardest certifications to obtain in the yoga world, with less than 300 certified teachers worldwide. She took her first yoga class as a child 30 years ago and has been studying yogic philosophy and meditation for the last 24 years. Though asana had always been one of her practices, it was not until she recovered from an intense injury that she began teaching Yoga with focused passion. She has since taught at various yoga studios in New York, Philadelphia, North Carolina and Atlanta. In her spirited and poetic classes, Kilkenny aspires to help her students step into the courage of their hearts through their asana practice. Her in-depth alignment, knowledge of yoga therapeutics and creative sequencing coupled with her deep devotion and enthusiasm for the practice, energize her classes and workshops making them fun, expansive and inspiring. Kilkenny's warmth immediately puts students at ease creating a supportive atmosphere where profound growth and transformation can occur.

Anusara Yoga is a school of hatha yoga founded by John Friend in 1997. Anusara literally means "to flow with Grace", "to align with Nature" or "to follow one's heart." Due to its elegant set of alignment principles, life-affirming Tantric philosophy, and heart oriented community, Anusara Yoga has become one of the most highly respected and fastest growing yoga systems in the world today. It is known for its cutting edge therapeutics, precise alignment as well as its emphasis on cultivating the virtues of the heart, looking for the goodness in all people and all things and regarding the yogic artform as a spiritual practice. Anusara Yoga is profound, strengthening, healing and fun.

Yoga for YOUR Body Workshop Series
Session 3 - Expand Your Practice: Sessions 1 or 2 Must Have been Attended
Led By Stacey Skilton-Pitz & Robin Zappin
 
Saturday, March 13th Saturday, March 13th

Yoga and Pilates are invigorating and fun activities but can occasionally lead to some discomfort. If you are experiencing musculoskeletal pain during or after your practice, come join Stacy and Robin to explore the possible origins of your pain.

A key component for successful yoga practice is your ability to obtain and move from a neutral spine while maintaining a strong core. During each of these sessions, we will help you identify your neutral position, teach you how to better engage your core, and integrate this new information into your yoga or Pilates practice.

Participation for each session will be limited to 10 people in order to allow for direct hands-on assistance. Session 1 & 2 will include a short review of anatomy, kinesiology (normal movement) and common injuries. The majority of the time will be spent practicing proper alignment in specific yoga poses. Session 3 will include a brief review of your neutral spine followed by a practice exploring a variety of poses.

Session 3 - This session will review what you have learned and offer ways to expand your practice. In order to attend you must have attended session 1 or 2.

Location: Ambler Center
Date: Saturday, March 13th
Time: 1:00-3:00 PM OR 3:30 -5:30 PM
