In this 6 part, once a month workshop series, David and
Julia Santangilo
will explore the deeper
meaning of love relationships. What more important work is there in our
lives than to give attention to our intimate
relationship with ourselves and with our partners? Each month
we will focus on a different aspect
of relationship so you can
commit to the series of 6 or pick and choose
depending on your
interest. Classes are $20 each, and will take place on the first or second Monday of the month.
Upcoming sessions:
8/2 Journey of the Divine
Masculine
and Feminine
9/13 Sacred Intimacy and Sexuality
Julia and David will
be teaching this mini workshop series together.
This is a great way
to taste what we do in our more extensive weekend
workshops, and if
you have done one our workshops this is a way to
keep the work
alive in yourself or in your relationship.

40 Days to Your Personal Revolution
with Suzie Harris
Starts Saturday September 25
40
Days to Personal Revolution is a breakthrough program to radically
change your body and awaken the sacred within your soul. A daily
combination of asana practice, meditation, diet, and personal reflection
will cultivate a solid foundation from which you can live and grow.
Regardless of your level of experience, this program will reveal mental
clarity, lightness of body, and an illumination of spirit.
"Everyone will have a different experience,
but no matter what you will come out of this process learning something
about yourself that you didn't ever know existed." - Chelsea Knight, Jan 2010 program
WEEKLY MEETINGS: We will gather weekly for a holistic life coaching session, sharing and to teach relevant tools. Every
Saturday morning from 11:15-12:15pm. NOTE: Make up meetings will be
held on Tuesdays at 7pm. Recommended that all participants attend.
PRACTICE: Participants commit to 6 days of asana practice (at least 4 in the studio, 2 at home).
MEDITATION:
There will be a practice of meditation, twice daily on your own, with
increasing sitting times as the weeks progress.
FOOD CLEANSE:
Each of the six weeks will focus on a weekly dietary awareness theme
centered around discovering and practicing a vibrant new health for the
physical body. The fourth week's dietary awareness practice includes a
three day fruit cleanse.
Returning students: Even if you have done
this program before, prepare for a whole new level of excavation and
growth!
40 Days Challenge:
Use the program as a fundraiser to raise money for charity or to help
you get to a Baptiste bootcamp! If just 10 friends pledge you $1 per
day, that will be $400! Anyone raising over $500 for charity will receive a free month of yoga! A few suggested charities who could really use your help:
Partners In Health, a nonprofit who has a hospital in Haiti - donate to help with earthquake relief
Africa Yoga Project, founded and run by a Certified Baptiste Teacher, this nonprofit helps promote peace and health in Africa through yoga
Bethlehem Inn, Bend's largest community homeless shelter
Testimonials from prior participants:
"I
got so much out of this program! This was my 3rd time and I feel like I
have gotten so much out of each and every one. I feel more open to
possibilities in my life. I am stronger and feel a lot of joy in my
life. I recommend this program to anyone looking to find more love and
contentment in life."
- Heidi Thomas
"The 40 Days program has improved my life in nearly every area. I love the supportive environment."
- David Santangilo
"I
became physically stronger. I lost 10 pounds with no effort, simply
doing yoga and eating well. I found inner strength and peach that I
carry with me always." - Anonymous
"The most rewarding part has
been seeing and feeling my body change. I feel lighter, leaner, toner
and more healthy. Sugar is one of my 'drugs' and I have stopped craving
it." - Julie Connell
"I
gained strength, freedom in my body, lightness, joy, joy, joy, time, and
the ability to see each choice in my life as a growth opportunity." -
Sarah Chipowsky
"The
sense of community combined with all the yoga has made me feel more
connected to myself and others. Keeping a journal and food log were
helpful and made me more aware of patterns in my life." - Bridget Evans
"Lots
of insight/self-realization and knowledge (esp. of Ayurveda and the
doshas). Great classes and community support - loved the meetings!" -
Briana Haddad
"The
discipline of six days with set tasks to do was the most rewarding and
challenging - gave me stars to shoot for and the insight to forgive
myself if I didn't make it." - Shannon Bassett
"The weekly increase of meditation time made it easier to connect to my higher self." - Patrick Kincart
"It's
hard to believe you can grow so much in so little time. The structure
'forces' you to be disciplined. Without the structure it wouldn't get
done, even with the desire." - Luanne Barrett
"I
began the program mainly because I was curious and intrigued and wanted
to immerse myself in this 'yogic' way of being. What I found is that I
was unconsciously searching for some type of vehicle for personal
growth, something to shake me up a little and push me to answer
questions that I have been avoiding." - Allison Kirley
"I
came more into my body. Being aware of all of the feelings that come
into it during my practice and letting them flow through me whether
negative or positive - just accepting it. It really made me aware of
where I am at the present moment and that every moment is a time of
change." - Stacey McCulloch
