JOURNEY TO FLIGHT
Handstand Workshop with Dawn Deleonardis
Saturday, July 18
1:00 – 3:00pm
$30 In-studio
$20 Online via Zoom
at the Maui Yoga Shala – 381 Baldwin Ave, Paia
Take the Journey with Dawn on your way towards a handstand practice. Allow yourself to be guided through a meditation practice, guided imagery, mantra work, yogic philosophy, and understanding of body mechanics as you mindfully integrate balancing on your hands into your asana flow. This workshop is designed for beginners through advanced practitioners. Each participant will be able to leave the workshop with confidence to fly inside and outside of the Shala.
Dawn’s journey to flight has been a dedication to the mechanics of how to balance upside down. When she’s not teaching yoga or practicing different forms of movement in nature, you can find Dawn standing on her hands. One key message she has learned: ‘the more often you practice your hand balance craft, the higher and further you will fly.’ Dawn is committed to guiding you into a safe, self-expressive, empowering handstand practice that you can integrate into your yoga flow or exercise practice.
FULL MOON SOUND BATH
with Shanti Sound Healing
Friday, March 6th
7:00 – 8:00pm
$30 (pre-registration guarantees your spot)
at the Maui Yoga Shala – 381 Baldwin Ave, Paia
Together as Shanti Sound Healing, Christina and Paul create magical journeys through meditation and vibrational sound. You will be enveloped in a divinely inspired chorus of healing vibrational sound… Tibetan singing bowls, created by Nepalese artisans and infused with blessings by Himalayan Monks will sweep you away on a transcendent sound journey. Crystal quartz singing bowls, tuned to the vibration of the universe will also be used in addition to various chimes, crystal quartz pyramid, and water gong that will take your meditation as deep as the sea.
Each instrument played is immersed with loving intention to gently transition participants from his or her normal waking state to a highly relaxed state of consciousness. In this relaxed state, a person’s own innate healing abilities are able to work more effectively to bring them back into optimal vibrational alignment that enhances overall health and well-being.
During a Sound Bath, participants dress comfortably and lie on a yoga mat with the optional use of pillows/bolsters. A harmonious sleep-like state is reached while lying comfortably on your back in Savasana (corpse pose). It includes a guided chakra meditation, aromatherapy and individual attention by Christina during this beautiful immersion of healing sound.
"PALENQUE" DANCE WORKSHOP
with Emilia De Castro
Saturday, February 22nd
10:30am – 12:45pm
$25
Urban Colombian, Afro-Caribbean, Champeta & Reggaeton
Explore upbeat dance styles and other traditional forms that have evolved from the merging of African and South American cultures across the Caribbean.
The champeta is a dance strongly inspired by the African rhythms born on the Caribbean coast. This musical genre is a social phenomenon in the streets of Cartagena de Indias, the pearl of the Caribbean. The champeta is danced alone or in couple. It involves a sensual movement of the body that represents a form of seduction.
Reggaeton is a type of late 1990s dance that began in Puerto Rico. It’s strongly influenced by Latin American, Caribbean, and hip hop music, and this fun, sexy, free-spirited style of dance is popular in nightclubs. To start dancing reggaeton, learn moves like shoulder pops, body waves, and lower body isolations.
