~ Yoga Workshop - Tonglen, a Practice of Compassion ~
Saturday, September 11, 2010 ♦ 1:00 to 3:00 pm

$40 & all levels welcome
Tonglen,a practice of compassion, as practiced the Lineage of the Dalai Lamas.  Tonglen compassion meditations are weaved into asanas which are each used to cultivate one of the six perfections: giving, morality, patience, joyful effort, concentration, and wisdom.  This is a deep practice of beginning to relate with friends, enemies, and strangers with an ultimately compassionate mind.  Using this "inner method" during your yoga practice will transform it from merely a physical into a transformative spiritual daily practice.        

The practice will include Tibetan asanas with the Jivamukti method so it will be familiar and challenging enough to please everyone.

Danielle Prager

Danielle was raised in New York City. She began working when she was 9 years old and hasn't stopped since. It wasn't until she found Jivamukti yoga that she found the answers she had been looking for, to all her questions.
 
After graduating from the 300-hour Jivamukti yoga  teacher training , Danielle was blessed with the opportunity to apprentice with Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher Narayani (Nicole Nichols), and to receive 800-hour certification.
 
Danielle believes that the goal of yoga is not to find a temporary refuge from our daily  troubles, but to directly realize the ultimate nature of ourselves and  our world to thus permanently eradicate suffering in all its forms,  for all beings.  Using the breath, the body and the mind together to  reach that sacred goal, we learn how to practice our yoga on the mat  and to perfect our yoga off the mat.
