Laughing Dog Yoga Workshops



Workshops are a wonderful way to enhance your knowledge, deepen your dedication, come together in community and grow your practice.
They also involve a significant financial commitment – which given budgetary responsibility may be difficult to justify. That said, we do not want anyone to miss out on any workshop they may want to attend – they are just too valuable. So, for all workshops, we offer scholarships and a sliding scale for those in need. Please contact studio to apply.

Registration Policy: It is fine to sign up for Early Bird Discount and still pay the day of the workshop IF you definitely plan to attend.

Cancellation Policy: 48 hours notice required to cancel for full refund (minus administrative fee). Last minute cancellations cannot be refunded. If you were planning to pay the day of the workshop, it is still necessary to pay. Thank you for honoring this policy.

MONTHLY INSIGHT / VIPASSANA
MEDITATION SERIES

w/ Chas DiCapua

Sat. 4-6p ~ 6/1
(no class in May)


$10 plus suggested donation
(see below)


To REGISTER: Sign up at studio or email info@ldyoga.com
Fine to pay at the door

Many have wanted to begin or cultivate a meditation practice. In fact, due to the nature of our busy, sometimes hectic lives, it is in many ways essential to our health and well being. Much research has recently been conducted that shows the beneficial effects of meditation. Join Chas for a monthly Insight Mediation series. We will meet once a month to learn, practice and explore the art and science of meditation.

Vipassana or Insight Meditation is a simple, yet profound meditation practice that has the ability to transform how we experience the world. Through the cultivation of moment-to-moment awareness, life is seen how it actually is, not how we think it is, or want it to be. We discover that it is possible to have a more harmonious relationship both personally and with the world around us. This understanding has a profound effect on our lives. It is the catalyst that allows us to let go of the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of true happiness. The ease, the peace, of this state, is where our hearts can begin to finely come to rest.

During these monthly 2 hr classes such questions as: What is the purpose of Meditation? What are the benefits of Meditation? and of course, how to meditate will be explored. The type of meditation being offered is called Vipassana, which translates into “seeing clearly” and comes from the 2,500 year old Buddhist Meditation traditions of South East Asia. Students will be given instruction in Sitting, Standing and Walking Meditation. There will always be ample time for questions and discussion, although the main thrust of each class will be experiential – practice, practice, practice!

Suggested Donation ~ These teaching are given free of charge as is the custom passed on by previous teachers. In Asia, meditation masters are supported by the community. Here in America, their livelihood is supported by donations. We will have a basket set out for this intention. Please give freely, what ever you are able, in exchange for these teachings.

Chas DiCapua has been practicing mindfulness and Buddhist meditation, primarily in the Theravada school, for over 20 years. He has trained with Burmese meditation masters, western monastics of the Thai Forest tradition and senior western Vipassana teachers. Chas has spent over 2 years of combined time in silent, intensive retreat. In 2003 Chas was invited to be the Resident Teacher at the Insight Meditation Society where he continues to serve in that role. Chas is a graduate of the four year joint Insight Meditation Society / Spirit Rock Teacher Training Program led by Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein and others. He is interested in how the basic material of our everyday lives, including relationships, can be used as a vehicle for awakening. Chas teaches retreats at IMS, at various centers and sanghas throughout the country, and offers Spiritual Counseling for individuals.


PARTNER ASSISTED STRETCHING

w/ Daniel Orlansky

Fri. 7-9:30p -TBD

$35

TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT: email info@ldyoga.com

Partner Assisted Stretching
reduces muscle tension, increases flexibility, enhances circulation, helps alleviate lower back pain, improves balance and coordination, and when assisted, becomes more safe and effective. In this workshop we will work with a partner to help lengthen tight muscles using a modern stretching technique called PNF/resistance stretching. Stretches for the lower and upper body will be taught, along with some elements of Shiatsu Massage (gentle finger and hand pressure, skillful touch, and relaxing joint manipulations.)

Come with a spouse, partner, friend or neighbor… or just by yourself and we will partner you up with someone at the workshop. Learn to listen, receive, share and play! All levels are welcome.
