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.

Winter Solstice Meditation Sunday December 19th 2010 @ Soma Yoga studio 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. I look forward to sit together....... Treya

November 20, 2010Finding 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 17th
Early registration deadline for individual classes:$40
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.

July 17th, 2010 Spiraling from the Core – All About Spinal Twisting
Spiraling is great fun and a real boost to your health. Spinal twisting relaxes muscle tension throughout the whole spine and neck. It helps to stimulate and cleanse the internal organs, promoting a vital immune system. We will explore finding strength and alignment without force, from the pelvic floor to the crown of the head.
August 14th, 2010Freeing the Pelvis – Opening the Hips in Sitting and Standing Poses
The pelvic girdle is the seat of life. A healthy pelvis is the key to moving freely and comfortably throughout our lives. By understanding how to decompress and find strength without tension in the lower body, we can discover spacious freedom in the hips and power through the legs.
Drop-in rate:$45 per class
July 17 class: DISCOUNT DEADLINE EXTENDED TO DAY OF CLASS
July 17th only $40 ........ both classes paid by July17th, including August 14th class $70

Integrating traditional movement arts with somatic learning
With Treya Marie Forlenza
Saturday and Sunday, March 20-21, 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: 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
