Autumn is a time that brings about numerous changes: in the landscape, in routines, in priorities...
Through asana practice, we can emulate change and transition by synchronizing breath with movement.This is idea behind Vinyasa Yoga. Prana flow is a means of harnessing the life force that is produced through this process and sending it out to every part of our bodies. Prana Flow is a feast for the senses, an embodiment of grace and creativity.
Come and join in our celebratory dance to honour the Fall season!

EMBODYING THE GREAT COMPASSIONATE ONE AND INTRODUCING DYING WITH CONFIDENCE
With Anyen Rinpoche - September 24th to September 26th - Registration for this event will open in late August...
OUR WONDERFUL FRIEND AND TEACHER IS COMING BACK TO OTTAWA FROM TIBET....
A Three Day Retreat on the Practice of Avalokitesvara, the Embodiment of Compassion in Ottawa with Anyen Rinpoche Friday September 24 to Sunday September 26, 2010.
This is a wonderful opportunity to develop a Loving Kindness meditation practice or deepen an already established Secret Mantrayana practice. Anyen Rinpoche will be introducing his new book, Dying with Confidence, Friday night. The remainder of the weekend will be dedicated to receiving the empowerment called "the self-liberation of suffering," transmission and instructions on the practice of Avalotikesvara.
Rinpoche will teach on a special text that was revealed as a mind treasure by the great Dzogchen master Padma Kongtrul Namgyal Zangbo. We will also have the opportunity to practice together and clarify through question and answers.
We have enjoyed receiving teachings from Anyen Rinpoche twice over the past year in Ottawa, and hope you will join us for this very special weekend. All are welcome to attend regardless of experience, as this practice is one that can be done by pure beginners as well as experienced Tantrikas, and is beneficial to all.
Anyen Rinpoche is an esteemed scholar and fifth in an unbroken lineage of heart sons who received their lineage of the Longchen Nyingthig and Dzogchen teachings directly from the renowned Dzogchen master Patrul Rinpoche. In addition to teaching throughout North America and Asia, he is also on the faculty at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. He is the author of The Union of Dzogchen and Bodhichitta, Momentary Buddhahood, and Dying with Confidence (October, 2010). You can learn more about Anyen Rinpoche at www.anyenrinpoche.com.
A Day of Meditative Asana
With David Jewitt and Lucy Castell - date in early September to be determined...
The meditative state naturally arises in deeper asana practice and this state can be consciously cultivated through mindful practice.
This day long workshop will move through progressively more challenging sequences and techniques of breath work. meditation, asana, yoga nidra (the deep practice of conscious rest) and visualization techniques. Meditation instruction will be given, but this workshop will be of most interest to those already practicing some form of asana or meditation.
Lunch will be provided. The entire day will be one of deepening silence, encouraging a deep meditative state.
