January workshops descriptions:

1/13/2012 @ Yoga Now Jivamukti workshop - Chakra Detox- The chakraas are our energy centers in the subtle body. In this workshop we will focus on clearing the 7 chakras running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each chakra can be seen as a level of awarness as you move up the spine unblocking at each level you move closer towards enlightenment (the realization of the oneness of all beings)! Inspired by the chakra tuning teachings of Sharon Gannon this workshop will include: music, vinyasa style asana, visualization, pranayama, meditation, and mantra. Please join me in the first Jivalution of the new year and together let's raise our consciousness for 2012! (register at www.yoganowchicago.com)
