Afterwards tea & treats will be served and there will be time to hang out together.

There are plenty of sticky mats & blankets at studio for padding under sitting cushions
Chairs are available there if you want to use one

Saturday, November 5th & Sunday, November 6th

Two morning intensive classes: 9:30am - 12noon

Relaxing the shoulders and opening the chest !

Let's move into the cooler weather and the holidays with ease!

Join me in a Somatic education approach to health and vitality.
Wake up your body-mind in a fun and functional way....... without overdoing it!

This workshop will include Feldenkrais,Yoga & Qi Gong.........

Feldenkrais (Awareness through movement ) & Qi Gong
Sunday morning we will revisit the same theme with Yoga asana

Saturday morning November 5th: Feldenkrais & Qi Gong
9:30am-12noon
We will learn to release holding patterns in our neck and shoulders with gentle and playful movements. Building on this theme we will also explore movement to help us to relax and open our chest. These movement explorations will improve posture and increase mobility in the neck, shoulders and upper back. This helps us to reduce overall body tension and breath more deeply. Deep relaxation and breathing nourish and calm our whole nervous system and are a perfect antidote to the busy holiday season and cold weather!

This session is open to everyone and appropriate for those with pain or injury.

Sunday morning November 6th: Yoga (all levels)
9:30am-12noon
Through Yoga postures we will investigate the same focus of releasing shoulder tension to improving flexibility and alignment in the neck, spine and shoulder girdle. This will include spinal elongation, twists and gentle back-bends.
We will also incorporate yogic breathing exercises to increase awareness, relaxation and reduce stress.
This is a great opportunity to refine and deepen your Yoga practice.

This session is open to students with varied levels of Yoga experience.

1423 NW 70th St.

This event is free and open to everyone !

You are invited to join us in coming together to sit, to welcome the upcoming longest night of the year!
Astronomically Winter Solstice marks the beginning of the shortening of nights and the lengthening of days.
Solstice derives from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). It is a potent time for quietude and reflection as well as celebration, as we transition into Winter and the gradual return of light! The solstice is on December 21st, so we will be meeting a couple days before the actual date. Everyone is welcome, and no previous experience in Meditation or Qi Gong is necessary.

This is a great opportunity to take some "TIME OUT" in this busy holiday season to support each other in sitting with vitality!

Please arrive by 6:00pm to set up for sitting.
We will start with chanting the Heart Sutra at 6:15
1st round of sitting meditation 20 minutes
followed by 20 minutes Qi Gong practice
and then 2nd round of sitting meditation 20 minutes

Afterwards, sparkling juice, tea & treats will be served and there will be time to hang out together.
Please feel free to bring treats to share if you are inspired, however it is not necessary.

Many THANKS to Jean of Soma Yoga for generously donating the space for this special event!

Please bring your sitting cushion if you have one.
Otherwise cushions and chairs are available there.

This is also a great chance to check out the new space before I start my classes there in the new year!
Reply to let me know if you are planning to attend, so I will have an approximate head count.
Please feel free to e-mail or call if you have any questions 206 - 706-0069.

Special Focus Yoga Classes, Fall 2010

2010-08-31T16:03:00.000-07:00

Special Focus Yoga Classes (All levels)

Saturdays 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

November 20, 2010 Finding Balance and Stability – Warrior and Balance Poses

Stability, or rooting through the legs, and balance go hand in hand. To find balance without effort, we must understand how to open our hips and use our legs to connect to the earth, allowing the torso and spine to release upward and be free. In this class we will juxtapose warrior poses with balance poses to explore the relationship between earth and sky, and rooting and expanding.

December 4, 2010 Letting Go… Into Forward Bending

Forward bending is about deeply folding in the hips. It is a practice of letting go and allowing the entire back and spine to open and lengthen. This also includes releasing from the spine through the back of the legs and into the arms. It is a total body release. Through breath and awareness, we are invited to go more deeply into our internal environment: softening the muscles, opening the joints, and quieting the mind. This asana relaxes the back, supports kidney function, and opens the hips. It is soothing, calming, and revitalizing. A great preparation as we move into the busy holiday season.

Drop-in rate: $45 per class

Early registration deadline for multiple class discount: $70

Both classes paid by November 17^th

Early registration deadline for individual classes: $40

In-Town Retreat, Fall 2010

2010-08-30T16:06:00.000-07:00

Finding Center… Integrating Body and Mind
In-town Weekend Retreat at M’illumino
Integrating traditional movement arts with somatic learning

Saturday & Sunday, October 23 & 24, 2010

Come experience the in-depth study environment of a retreat with the convenience of being in town. In this workshop we will draw from the age-old practices of yoga, meditation, and Qi Gong, as well as modern modalities in the field of somatic education. These will include Feldenkrais (Awareness Through MovementTM) and explorations in organic and fluid movement. We will discover how to release ineffective patterns of holding to move with more ease and grace. We will also investigate the relationship between posture and movement, and strength and relaxation, to allow the body/mind to “let go” on a deeper level and to access a greater resilience and vitality. This workshop is open to students with all levels of experience. You can participate in the full workshop or choose parts of it.

Saturday morning, 10 am - 12:30 pm
Feldenkrais & Qi Gong: Freeing the limbs to find the core
Cost: $50
We will use gentle and relaxing movements to differentiate the limbs (arms and legs) from the proximal body (torso and hips). This helps to integrate the whole body, freeing us to move from the core with fluidity and ease. Letting go of unnecessary effort in activity and habitual tension is both revitalizing and beneficial for reducing chronic back and neck strain. This session is excellent for improving performance skills for musicians, athletes, and others, and also enhances our effectiveness in daily activities. Open to all, and appropriate for those with chronic pain or injury.

Saturday afternoon, 2 pm - 4:30 pm
Yoga (all levels): Understanding the core – coming home
Cost $50
We will explore core integration and optimal skeletal alignment to create spacious joints and long supple muscles. Incorporating various asanas, such as warrior poses, forward/back bending, and spinal twists helps us to discover deep, intrinsic strength without tension. This releases the shoulder and pelvic girdles, promoting a healthy and supple spine.

Sunday morning, 10 am - 12:30 pm
Yoga as Moving Meditation
Cost $50
In this flowing yoga session the emphasis will be on awareness and moving effectively without unnecessary effort. We will also incorporate short periods of sitting meditation, resting in our center, exploring both fluid movement and dynamic stillness. Open to everyone.

Pre-pay by Wednesday, October 20. Full workshop: $125
Any two sessions: $90
Early registration is recommended to reserve your space. To register call 206.706.0069, email treya-themovingspace@comcast.net, or see registration form on class schedule.

Saturday morning, 10 am - 12:30 pm

Feldenkrais & Qi Gong: Releasing the Shoulders to Free the Neck

The neck and shoulders are common areas of chronic tension and habitual holding patterns. We do so much with our arms and hands that we often forget how to let our shoulders drop and our arms hang naturally. In this session we will explore differentiating between the arms, the shoulder girdle, and the spine. This facilitates relaxing the shoulders, and frees the neck to feel comfortable and suspended. This work is gentle, beneficial for all, and appropriate for those recovering from pain or injury. Open to everyone.

Saturday afternoon, 2 pm - 4:30 pm

Yoga (all levels): Warrior Poses – Finding Your Roots

Warrior poses are the ultimate postures for opening the pelvic girdle, finding core strength, and rooting through the legs. When we are grounded and stable through the lower body, we can more easily open the chest, relax the shoulders, and extend through the arms. The Warrior series is energizing and strength-building.

Sunday morning, 10 am - 12:30 pm

In this class we will explore finding our central axis, opening our hips, and grounding through our legs.

Balance poses integrate body and mind by helping us to focus our intent and to find a more buoyant stability. This is a great way to start the new year.

January 30th, 2010 All about Sitting Poses – Yogic Seated Poses

In this class we will focus on how to mobilize the pelvis and open the hips to create a relaxed and stable foundation for sitting. This allows the spine to relax upward with less muscular effort.

Winter Solstice Meditation
with Treya
@ M'illumino 6921 Roosevelt Way NE
Monday evening, December 21st @ 7:15 PM

You are invited to join me to come together to sit , on this the longest night of the year! Astronomically Winter Solstice marks the beginning of the shortening of nights and the lengthening of days.

Solstice derives from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). It is a potent time for quietude and reflection as well as celebration, as we transition into Winter and the gradual return of light! This is a great opportunity to take some "TIME OUT" in this busy holiday season to support each other in sitting with vitality!

Please arrive at 7:15 to set up for sitting.
We will start with chanting the Heart Sutra @ 7:30
1st round of sitting 20-25 minutes
followed by 15 minutes Qi Gong
2nd round of sitting 20-25 minutes

After Zazen, tea & treats will be served and there will be time to hang out together. Johannes & I will make our special Holiday fruit salad. Please feel free to bring treats to share if you are inspired, however it is not necessary.

All are welcome.... Please bring a Zafu (if you have one). There are plenty of sticky mats & blankets at studio for padding under sitting cushions. Chairs are available there if you want to use one. Please let me know if you need me to provide a cushion (I will have extras there). If some of you also have an extra cushion you can bring to share ...... let me know.

Give a reply to let me know if you will attend, so I have an approximate head count.
The morning meditation group is now on break and will resume on January 6th.

Many THANKS to Bridget @ m'illumino for donating space to on-going Meditation group Wednesday morning 8-9AM and for this special event!

Please feel free to e-mail or call if you have any questions (206) 706-0069.
Look forward to see you, Treya
