Celebrating Two Years in Chestnut Ridge
Join Raji and Rose for a Singing Bowl Meditation

"Tibetan Singing Bowls have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes...The pure sonic waves that ring from Tibetan Singing Bowls wake up our ability to hear with more than our ears. We feel the sound Tibetan Singing Bowls as much as we take it in with our ears."

Mini Intensives with Raji Thron
Saturdays, 12:15 pm – 2:00 pm

For Experienced Students and Yoga Teachers

Saturday, November 15th in Ramsey
Breath-work in Asana Intensive: Explore pranayama in asana during movement and holding postures.

Saturday, November 29th in Ramsey
Arm balance Intensive: Explore the way to balance on your bones.

Along the central axis of the spine lie energetic “wheels” known as the chakras. These energy centers function as transmitting stations to both process and absorb all that we encounter, as well as expressing ourselves from our deepest core, outwards to the external world.
Using a specially designed sequence of yoga postures, breathing techniques, and mantra, Lisa will guide a practice to connect with the subtle energetic qualities of each chakra, ending with a chakra meditation.

This workshop is for all levels. Beginners welcome.

She delves into Palmo's motivations, feelings, thoughts, and teachings, presenting the facts of her life while preserving the anguish, desire, conviction, and conflict that

We all long to connect to our loved ones who have passed. We look for signs and wait in hope that proof will emerge to show us that our love is not lost and our relationships continue. And most of us are curious to know or want to develop a deeper connection to our guides and angels.
