Workshops taught by Laurel Van Matre:

Plant Seeds of Change – “If You Can See It, You Can Change It”
The Life Affirming Vision and Philosophy of Tantric Yoga. There are actually 3 schools of yoga philosophy: Advaita Vedanta, Classical Yoga and Tantra. In this workshop we will discuss all 3 and why we choose to practice Tantra and how it’s life-affirming vision allows us to create limitless change in our lives. Following the discussion we will weave the seeds of the Tantric vision into an asana practice suitable for all levels.

Principles of Change – “What Might Not Have Been”
As we practice yoga and learn to see it from a life-affirming point of view we start to see change in our lives. We soften in our hearts and start to see change in our selves on and off our mats. In this workshop we will discuss how we start to see these changes and feel a deeper connection to world we live in through the 5 elements; earth, water, fire, air and ether. And then, of course, take it through an asana practice where we will learn to see these principles in ourselves and the world around us.

The Power of Change - “Carry With You What You Know”
In this workshop you get a great story. It is the story of Hanuman and his Leap Over the Ocean of Consciousness. We will talk about Nirodha or “ the gate keeper of Consciousness” and how as empowered beings we have to make choices to change. Through the vision of Tantra, the support of practicing together as a group or “Kula” and through the techniques we use to create alignment we practice and empower ourselves and each other to change and feel a deeper connection to the world we live in. And then, of course, we will take it through what will be at this point a mind-blowing asana practice suitable for all levels.
