Vairagya: The Path to Radical Acceptance \| (Remaining dates to be rescheduled) by Tiffany Russo Vairagya is the ability to accept everything that arises with equanimity. It is the basis for the cultivation of community and the essence of every teacher who wishes to inspire his/her students. As we delve deeper into the practices, we encounter everything on the spiritual path: strength and flexibility as well as weakness and pain; we find the greatest joy as well as fear and doubt. As spiritual aspirants and guides we gather and balance our energies and intentions to become the light embodied, beacons on this path. Vairagya topics include: • Advanced asana: bringing multiple movement principles together in a playful, balanced way • Creative sequencing that encourages you to find your voice and vary your focus and themes • Pranayama, guided meditation and philosophical themes as integral, inseparable elements of the practice • Yoga for longevity: learn modifications for injury prevention and rehabilitation • Cultivating clear languaging with its basis in structural awareness and thematic development • Hands-on adjustments that educate your students • Teacher student relationships: inspire without enmeshing • Cultivating your life-long home practice: tools for deepening awareness and developing source material for teaching This 100-hour intensive is designed for experienced students, both new and long-time teachers who want to re-inspire themselves and in turn their students. Eligible for Yoga Alliance CEUs plus credit towards your SmartFLOW hours. *Prerequisite: The Heart of SmartFLOW (Feb 22-23 at YogaWorks) or Abhyasa: The Path of Sadhana.* Vairagya: The Path to Radical Acceptance 100-hour SmartFLOW Training Tiffany Russo 6 Saturdays + 6 Sundays March 7-8 • March 14-15 • March 28-29 April 4-5 • April 18-19 • April 25-26 Saturdays \| 9:45-10:45 am & 12:15-4:15 pm Sundays \| 9:45 am-4:15 pm $1800 \| $1600 by February 22, 2020 YogaWorks Main St. Bungalow, 2215 Main St., Santa Monica (310) 272-5641 Tiffany Russo is a yoga teacher and lead trainer of Annie Carpenter’s SmartFLOW yoga methodology.

But on the third day if felt as if a dam broke - the Reiki came on strong. Ever since, the increasing energy has been nothing short of transformative. ALL of my health problems are gone, and more importantly so are my negative attachments to those problems. My worries have been replaced with such lightness and a real sense of playfulness. Fun is back." Sara D "My self-treatment has been consistent and is still a big part of my morning routine. I feel so blessed to be able to give myself this gift every morning after meditation."

I took her class in January and, in the following 3 months, I worked more than I had ever worked during any tax season, but I was also the least stressed I had ever been. I never dreamed Reiki would help me that much and now, after taking her Level 2 class as well, I am amazed at all the wonderful new things I have discovered about myself and the world around me. I am so very grateful to Eleonore for starting me on this wondrous journey! Her wisdom and radiant energy has truly been a blessing in my life!"

Trauma-Informed Yoga Fundamentals by Hala Khouri + Kyra Haglund Trauma-Informed Yoga Fundamentals, offered by Hala Khouri & Kyra Haglund of Collective Resilience Yoga, is a combination of its Module 1 (Trauma-Informed Yoga Basics) & Module 2 (Yoga & Social Justice) trainings. The first half of this 40-hour training provides an integrative and physiological framework for understanding the relationship between trauma & chronic stress and the mind/body. It focuses on yoga, mindfulness, somatic practices, and meditation (along with relevant theory and tools) to help reduce reduce trauma symptoms, cultivate a greater sense of well-being, and support the reclamation of safety and empowerment in the body. The second half of this training provides a deep dive into how trauma and structural violence impacts us on the individual, institutional, and systemic levels, as well as how trauma-informed yoga teaching can help pave the way for more resilience, transformation, and equity in our communities. Through a sociopolitical framework, we explore power, privilege, marginalization, oppression, and social justice issues like poverty, racism, sexism, and homophobia. Unpacking and reflecting on our own individual locations in these systems is vital for any space holder to do in order to truly serve others and cultivate healing for all. Topics covered in this 5-day intensive include: • The autonomic nervous system & stress response • Attachment & Polyvagal Theories • Somatic Therapy tools for resourcing & self-regulation • Inclusive, trauma-informed language, cueing & teaching • Harm reduction in yoga & other healing spaces • Strength and resilience in marginalized communities • Spiritual bypass as it relates to social justice • Connections between yoga, trauma, oppression, resilience & healing • How identity, positionality & intersectionality impacts us all • Staying present & interacting with others with different identities & experiences • Exploring ways to use our practice & teaching to heal & create social change This intensive is open to people of all levels and all backgrounds; you do not need any specific training prior to attending, although we strongly recommend having a current yoga practice. We believe this training will be most helpful (and valuable) to those interested in being more trauma and social justice-informed, including yoga teachers, social workers, therapists, clinicians, health care professionals, educators, community service personnel, and activists looking for more equitable, sustainable tools and approaches to support healing from trauma and chronic stress.
