Masterclass:

Power Yoga with Paul Teodo

Take a Journey through the REAL Power Yoga. In this Masterclass, we will incorporate tools, techniques, and sequences designed to build both strength and stability throughout the body. This is a great workshop for yoga teachers, or for a student that is looking to develop a home practice. The class emphasizes techniques learned at Santa Monica Power Yoga (Bryan Kest’s original studio) and YogaWorks, two of the most respected yoga studios in the United States.

Workshops:

1) Myofascial Elasticity

What the heck is that?!?! Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds our bodies. It gives us shape and form, and our overall mobility is hugely dependent on the condition of our fascia. This workshop discusses basic myofascial movements and talks about ways to condition this connective tissue. We then go into how to incorporate elastic movements into a yoga practice. Elastic movements are designed to open up the fascia through short, quick ranges of motion. Developing more elasticity in the fascia will transform your yoga practice and your body’s overall movement in general. This is a fun challenging workshop designed for ALL LEVELS of experience.

2)A Journey to Center

A Journey to Center is my signature meditation and musical experience. It is a 90-minute combination of yin yoga, guided meditation, and sound healing. We begin practice with one hour of yin yoga to release layers of stress and tension from the physical body. After the asana, I lead some simple breathing exercises designed to prime the body for deep relaxation. We then guide you through very specific body scan techniques, to release tension from the body.

In between each relaxation period, Paul plays instrumental pieces on acoustic guitar. These pieces have been inspired by our own journey into and practice of yoga and meditation. A Journey to Center was featured monthly in 2016 at the flagship meditation studio Unplug Meditation in Los Angeles, CA, and The Yoga Collective in Venice Beach. These performances sold out typically every month and garnered rave reviews from listeners and meditators alike. Since then, Paul and Leah have been leading them together in Bali, Australia, Thailand, and all over the US.

Shamanic Breathwork

In this workshop, you’ll be initiated into a sacred space and engage in ceremonial practices to create unity between you and other members of the group. There’ll be time and space for Mandala art therapy, movement work, individual sharing, and group processing to explore the depths of this magical modality.

The breath, aided by chakra-attuned music provides a route to the discovery of your inner landscape, healing, and trauma release. Levi will guide you into relaxation and the practice of a simple breathing technique. From there, simply trust that whatever emerges is what’s meant to be present.  

Some people laugh. Some people cry. Some people enter a state of deep and profound meditation. Each time you show up for it, breathwork takes you wherever you need to go. A process that ultimately moves you away from the agendas of your ego and towards the sacred purpose of your soul.

Workshops:

1) Astrology Basics and Beyond 

Want to learn about astrology? Now’s your chance! This workshop is ideal for anyone with an interest in astrology, from total beginners to hobbyists.

2) Relationship Empowerment Through Astrology

Illuminate your love, with a workshop that reveals to you aspects of yourself and your love that you never knew existed. You don’t need to be married or in a partnership to enjoy this workshop. Ultimately, we contain the entire Universe, and by spotlighting both who you are and who you seek to be, you can bring both your passions and patterns to conscious awareness, refining our relationships with yourself, partners, friends, and family.

This workshop is about so much more than simple compatibility. It’s about who you came here to be, and who you attract into your life to support you in that journey.

Workshop:

1) Heart Chakra Balancing: Trusting and Opening To Life

This workshop is focused on expanding and balancing the Heart Chakra, known as ANAHATA, meaning “unstruck by sound”.

The heart chakra governs our connection with others and is the seat for unconditional love. Since love is considered to be a healing power, this chakra is also considered the healing center.

When in balance, we feel a deep sense of altruism, love for self and others, forgiveness, compassion, and happiness.

When Anahata is underactive, you may experience:

• Lack of compassion and empathy,

• low self-esteem

• insecurity, jealousy and lack of trust or inability to open to love

When it is overactive, you have feelings of:

• Jealousy

• stinginess

• anger and smothering people with your love,

• controlling or becoming possessive and obsessive,

• selfish love

Harnessing this love energy is extremely powerful. This flow, if done earnestly, is bound to dissolve barriers and open your heart to greater love. Join Olivia in this powerful heart-opening experience!

Workshops:

1) Relationship Healing: The Energy Approach:

“When two people interact closely, there is friction. The lubricant is Love – in the form of Loving Thoughts, Loving Feelings, Loving Words, and Loving Actions.” Master Choa Kok Sui

Relationship seminar is designed based on the science of energy that deals with our thoughts and emotions. It aims is to introduce the different levels of a relationship, discuss the different forms of Soul Mates, and study the major problems that often occur in various relationships, be it with your spouse, in your family or at work.

It then provides solutions to improve relationships and bring much love, harmony, and understanding among family members, friends, and co-workers.

Good relationship is one of the most valuable assets in life. Just as a good relationship can improve all the aspects of our life and bring good health, happiness and peace of mind, a difficult relationship can be a tremendous drain.

It is, therefore, necessary to take care of our relationships and look at them as an investment to achieve greater happiness in life.

Have you ever wondered why certain repeated patterns happen in your life? – from repeated disagreements at work to attracting a similar type of partner that usually ends in a break-up.

Well, you are not alone! Everyone experiences such repeated unpleasant event!

But, what are all these repeated patterns all about?

How can we stop them from happening?

Are they connected to karma? Are the lessons to learn? Are they just a coincidence?

All of these questions can be answered if you study the subject of subtle energy and the universal laws. These sessions can help you identify such patterns and carefully remove them from your system so you can lead a healthy & happy life.

The psychological benefits of mindfulness meditation are well established. Yet for people who struggle with difficult emotions like anxiety, guilt, anger, loneliness, sadness, or low self-esteem, mindfulness practices can be enhanced by adding a simple yet powerful ingredient: self-compassion.

Practical examples and innovative exercises and techniques make this an ideal introduction for those who are new to mindfulness or want to bring an important new dimension to their meditation practice.

2) Fermented Foods and How they can help Autism

Today in the health & wellness world we are facing a crisis in 2 major areas. One is the escalation of Autism Spectrum Disorders in children worldwide & the other is the problem of gut Dysbiosis i.e. the increasing deterioration of our gut health resulting in the uptrend of chronic diseases like Chrones IBS , type 2 Diabetes & many others. At first glance these conditions may look seemingly unrelated but with regard to children there is now rising scientific & anecdotal evidence to show that autism spectrum disorders in children although a neuro-developmental brain disorder could also be caused by an imbalanced bacterial ecosystem within the digestive tract of the child . This is a fairly new area of research but what has clearly been found to help children with this condition is the inclusion of fermented foods into their diet.

This talk is focused on looking at what exactly is the process of fermentation , how to do it , why it helps & the types of fermented & cultured foods & drinks that we can do ourselves at home to help our children who are suffering from this. This is a basic introduction , simple demonstration of how to make some easy ferments & samples to try.

Jada Jane, also known as JJ, has worked in the financial industry as an Oil Broker and Bonds Broker over 15 years, quit her corporate life back in July 2015 and has been living between Singapore and Bali; Ubud. She is an Ashtanga practitioner for 13 years which keeps her grounded and has since from the practice developed a discipline in life for showing up fully whether on or off the mat. She is a dancer at heart, a dancer in life where she is continuously exploring and experiencing her essential self through connecting with people around her.

She has travelled to USA, Europe, and Australia in the last 3.5 years intensely dancing in different 5Rhythms workshops to be a fully certified 5Rhythms Waves facilitator. She currently teaches in Ubud and Singapore for 5Rhythms Waves classes.

What is 5Rhythms?

5Rhythms transcends dance. The movement is the medicine, the meditation and the metaphor. Together we peel back layers, lay masks down, and dance till we disappear…Only to rediscover ourselves through it all.

Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective and dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself.

Each rhythm is interpreted by individuals in a uniquely personal way, opening them to a new sense of freedom and possibility that is both surprising and healing, exhilarating as well as deeply restorative. It is, in essence, “exercise for the right brain.” When we practice 5Rhythms, we learn to creatively express aggressiveness and vulnerability, emotions and anxieties, edges and ecstasies. It reconnects us to cycles of birth & death and hooks us into humanity and the spirit of all living things.

Workshop:

5Rhythms® Back to Basics Waves

In this session we will explore the fundamentals of the 5Rhythms coming back to the basics of connecting with the earth (FLOWING) through our feet; drawing energy to our hips expressing ourselves (STACCATO) in our fire through the beating of our hearts carrying the message outwardly from our hands: extending to the big unknown of ourselves letting go of our control and beliefs by allowing the shoulders and head to loosen up in (CHAOS) surrendering deep into the ocean of trust: shape shifting ourselves from our stories to the creator of who are meant to be here sharing our gifts and light (LYRICAL) and finally coming home to what IS, integration of all these rhythms inside and outside of us. We are not separated from all but One with (STILLNESS).

To understand better these rhythms and the elements that are inherent in us as well as in nature, through moving our physical body connecting within our inner truth of what’s happening in the moment and allowing it space to expressing it out in our dance. We will use the gateways for each rhythm to help us to loosen up the body by working through different parts of our body.

This is a free-styled dance where there are no steps to follow, but a dance that is awaiting for you to create your very own unique expressions connecting you to your mind, body, and spirit. https://www.5rhythms.com/teachers/Jada+Jane+Boh

Imagine a life where you are sharing your greatest gifts, being part of a generation of purpose-driven change agents, artists and leaders, and meaningfully moving humanity forward. Imagine living your purpose every day and being richly rewarded for the privilege. Imagine being part of a world-wide peer group, working together to create a more purposeful, just, sustainable, and peaceful human presence on earth.

After you’re done rocking out in a 45-minute POUND class, you’ll have completed up to 15,000 reps, performed over 30 extended interval peaks, and zipped through more than 70 techniques without even realizing it.

+ Numerous studies have proven the powerful brain-boosting, stress-relieving effects of drumming. The rhythm of drumming permeates the entire brain to improve focus, increase higher-level thinking and decision-making skills, boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, decrease chronic pain, anxiety, and fatigue.

+ You’ll burn up to 900+ calories per hour, strengthen and sculpt infrequently used muscles, and drum your way to a leaner, stronger physique – all while rocking out to your favorite music!

+ You’ll drastically improve your rhythm, timing, coordination, speed, agility, endurance, and musicality. Instead of counting reps or keeping track of the clock, POUND strategically distracts you from the high-intensity and duration of your workout and shifts your focus to rhythm and volume. This strategic distraction is responsible for the “addictiveness” of POUND – the reason you can’t stay away!
