Immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of the Earth Gong at Elmhurst Yoga Shala every 1st Sunday of the Month, beginning in May. Stephanie & Sarah Starnes will blend the 38" Earth Gong, tuned to the sound of the primordial AUM (OM), with other singing bowls, rain sticks, and their angelic voices among other instrumental surprises. Bathe in the ethereal music for an hour while breathing in the beautiful aroma of various therapeutic essential oils we will offer you to apply to your body before the session*. Dress in comfortable clothing and feel free to bring blankets and pillows if you wish. We have mats, blankets and bolsters for you to use at the Shala as well. Be prepared to lay down, RELAX and ENJOY!
*We use therapeutic grade Young Living Essential Oils that are created without chemicals, so most who are allergic to perfumes/colognes are very comfortable with the scents offered. If you are allergic to any specific scents please let us know before the session so that we can be sure not to use that particular scent during the session.

Whether you are an experienced student with a deep interest in learning more about the body, or a yoga teacher, massage therapist, physical therapist or personal trainer with a desire to learn more ways to help your clients, friends and family to feel healthy and happy, this training is for you! This 2-part (4 day) intensive training will profoundly deepen your knowledge as you fall in love with the beauty and grace of the human body and learn how easily we can heal from injuries and misalignments through the practice of Anusara Yoga.
Sarah will weave anatomy, therapy, asana and philosophy into a rich tapestry, empowering students with a deep, inner knowing of how to help themselves and others find freedom from pain and suffering in the body. She will address a variety of musculo-skeletal injuries and misalignments related to the lower back, hips, shoulders, neck, knees, elbows, ankles, feet, and wrists. There is no better way to fully understand the biomechanical elegance of John Friend’s Universal Principles of Alignment™ than with hands-on experience in the classroom.
Learn how to give a huge variety of very refined/skillful/therapeutic hands-on adjustments to yourself and others to help guide the body towards an optimal place of health and healing. Our sessions will include asana practice, anatomy and therapy instruction, and partner/group activities, with some time reserved to work with specific injuries/misalignments that you may be dealing with.
Prerequisites:
*at least 15hrs of Anusara Yoga experience with inspired or certified teachers
*a basic understanding of the Universal Principles of Alignment™ of Anusara Yoga
