David and Julia
                                    Santangilo

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

COST: $40, covering weekly meetings and materials. The cost of yoga classes and Baron Baptiste's book, 40 Days to Personal Revolution are not included in the tuition for the program (book is $19.95).
