Prana in the Hatha Yoga Tradition
by
Swami Kashi
Saturday, May 5th
Midtown 107 E. Preston St. Baltimore, MD 21202 800.336.9642, x 13
2 - 4:00 pm
$40
An afternoon of Lecture, Discussion and Medititation
The Sanskrit word Prana is well known and is usually translated as “life force”. But few Yoga practitioners understand the depth of this concept and its role in the Hatha Yoga system.
Our Western minds have been content with just the physical practices with a shallow understanding of the philosophy behind the system.
Join Swami Kashi to explore and gain a deeper, embodied understanding of Yoga. In this workshop you will learn: - The deeper meaning of Hatha Yoga (clue: not just the union of the Sun & the Moon)
- What Prana is and how it works for us
- An understanding of Kundalini and Kundalini awakening
- How Asana and Pranayama work for the Hatha Yogi, and why we have to be careful with them
- What the chakras are and their role in Hatha Yoga.
Swami Kashi was born in Israel and at 25 years old took his first yoga class at the Sivananda Yoga Center in Tel-Aviv.. He started practicing Yoga regularly, and began studying the philosophy of Yoga and the spiritual aspect of yogic life. In 1998, he took the Sivananda Teacher Training Course in the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat in the Bahamas, after which yoga became the center of his life. In 1999, Swami Kashi decided to become a Brahmachari (monk), and joined the Sivananda Yoga Center in Tel-Aviv as a staff. At the time he was initiated as Shankar. And in the year 2000 he moved to India where he met his guru Swami Chaitanyananda who is a direct disciple of Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh. He lived with his guru in service and study until his guru’s death in 2003. After many more years of continued philosophical study, practice, and service Swami Kashi was initiated in the order of Sannyasa in 2014 and received the name Swami Kashi Muktananda Sarasvati, or in short Swami Kashi.Swami Kashi has become a beloved teacher around the world for his depth of knowledge in philosophy and his accessible and captivating teachings. To be with Swami Kashi is a profound opportunity for any yoga teacher or practitioner. It is a great pleasure and honor to welcome him to our DC/ Maryland community.

Cancellations made two weeks or more prior to workshop start date will be issued store credit. No store credit will be given for cancellations made less than two weeks prior to workshop start date.

The Yoga of Parenting, 3 session package
by
Martha McAlpine
- Friday June 1, 6-8 p or Saturday June 2, 12:30-2:30 p - Friday June 8, 6-8 p or Saturday June 9, 12:30-2:30 p - Friday June 15, 6-8 p or Saturday June 16,12:30-2:30p Cost: $100 for 3 sessions / $40 drop in Midtown Studio 107 E. Preston St. Baltimore, MD 21202 PARENTING MYTHOLOGY: - I should be a natural at parenting. I was a kid once. I love my kids. Can’t be that hard.
- When parenting feels stressful, overwhelming, and exhausting, I must be doing it ‘wrong’
- I should know this already. I don’t need a practice or a workshop to do this. I’m fine alone.
IN REALITY: - The best parents are the true beginners, good with starting over day after day to keep adapting to the lives that are evolving all around us.
- Fatigue is totally to be expected and planned for and embraced as a compass point to direct us to wise self-care.
- There is no ‘perfect’ in parenting until it suddenly feels like that - and then it passes.
- Conscious parenting is like a muscle to be built. Everyone is capable, but guidance and support are essential.
Weekend 1: PAST Friday June 1 or Saturday June 2
Most of our initial parenting comes from our own upbringing; whether we push against it or overreact NOT to be our parents, or whether we model what we do today after our own experiences. We need to start with what we brought to the idea of being a parent even before offspring were in the picture. We make a new mental map of ourselves, of what expectations we brought to our parenting unknowingly. We unearth what triggers us and how we can shift from our habits to how we want to feel or would choose to react.
Weekend 2 - PRESENT Friday June 8 or Saturday June 9
Now we are a family. Now our work is to see the mental maps of our children, of our partner(s) in parenting. Now we learn to face our anxiety about parenting, about getting it right. We learn to really get to know the soul who came through us and to us but is wholly themselves already. We work on the questions: How to really ‘see’ our children before interfering or fixing them? How to connect or communicate more mutually satisfying way? Weekend 3 - FUTURE Friday June 15 or Saturday June 16
Going forward. Learning to design our future together with intention and kindness. Practices for when everything seems to fall apart. This week we work on: How to integrate our needs with theirs? How to set a daily/ weekly routine the supports everyone? How to handle screen time? How to create a healthy household in the sharing of chores, the food you choose, and the way you can spend time together at home? Each weekend will have time for lecture and discussion of a topic/theory, guided writing time to work through your own reflections on how to implement the theory in your life. But we will also practice simple physical movements for you to clear your head, to reestablish your energy when needed, and guided meditations to help when quiet is the best remedy. We will be referring to two books in particular, The Awakened Family by Shefali Tsabary and Brainstorm by Daniel Siegel.
(You don’t have to buy the books, but if you are a read-ahead-er, these are what I’d recommend.
If you are a parent-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, no preparation needed. Come as you are.)
Please bring a notebook.

3 Day Mysore Workshop, SESSION 1: 8 - 9:30 AM
by
David Keil
SESSION 1: 8 - 9:30 AM August 18, 19 & 20th Saturday, Sunday and Monday Midtown 107 E. Preston St. Baltimore, MD 21202 $108 for all 3 days. Online registration only, no drop-ins. Yoga is very much about relationship: the relationship you have with the practice and the relationship you have with the teacher who is guiding you. Relationship requires time and a space to engage. This is why, in the Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Workshop, there is a limited number of students in the room at one time, a maximum of 12. This is why we require that you, the student commit to signing up for 3 days of practice. With David's commitment to small numbers and your commitment to daily practice, there is an opportunity for a transformative and in-depth relationship. David Keil was introduced to yoga in 1989 by his Tai Chi Chuan teacher. Both the Tai Chi and Yoga practice at the ripe age of 17 began his research into his own mind-body connections. His search continued through massage therapy where he discovered many insights and affirmations of what he had been exploring and finding on his own through his practices. One of the most important elements was the specific understanding of the musculoskeletal system and how fascinating, beautiful, and amazing the body is on the scientific level and how that directly played into and off of his own understanding of the human body. He was given names and explanations for some of the things he had been experiencing and feeling.As an instructor of Kinesiology (the study of movement and musculoskeletal anatomy) at Miami’s Educating Hands School of Massage from 1999-2003, David developed a fun, informal and informative style of teaching. By repeatedly teaching incoming students who had no prior understanding of anatomy, David was confronted with the problem of making such a complex and beautiful system accessible and understandable to the average person. David brings his unique style and ability to make things simple to the yoga world. Because of his passion and desire to share the human body with everyone, he delivers this complex and sometimes frustrating topic in a way that is very accessible and understandable to yoga practitioners.

Matrix of Ashtanga Yoga
by
David Keil
Saturday, August 18th 1 - 3:30pm Midtown Cost: $55 Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is perhaps one of the most misunderstood styles in the yoga world, even though so many other styles are influenced by it. In this workshop, we first discuss the context within which the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method came to be. Then we look at the essential elements that make it distinct and an extremely internal practice. The context that the practice lives is in one of recognizing our true nature. Our intention during this workshop is to create a perspective and understanding of
the practice that allows us to appreciate it. The practice is mostly misunderstood by
people who have not practiced it. When I use the term practice, I don’t mean going to a led primary series class and thinking that one has practiced it. What I mean is, a minimum of 5 days of practice in a row, with a teacher who can transmit the essential points of the practice, that leads one to an EXPERIENCE of the practice.
Ashtanga is much more than doing postures in a particular sequence. In this workshop, expect to: - Understand the context of Ashtanga Yoga
- Understand what concentration really means
- Dive deep into bandhas
- Understand what Vinyasa means
- Discover techniques of integration

Three Anatomical Points to Effortless Practice
by
David Keil
Sunday, August 19th 1 - 3:30 pm Midtown $55 After teaching anatomy and yoga for nearly 20 years, the core movement in practice can be brought back to three anatomical points that direct you toward the core of the body. This workshop is about simplyfying the complexity of where to practice from anatomically. By focusing on these three anatomical points, you will develop safe and effective movement that becomes expansive and effortless. It sounds too good to be true, but this really is the basis of understanding the physical component of bandhas in your yoga practice. In this workshop, you can expect to learn: - Explanation of the three anatomical points
- Techniques to access these key points
- Understand their relationship to the bandhas
- Apply the techniques to sun salutations
- Utlilze the three anatomical points for focus
