Kripalu Yoga as a Spiritual Practice:
Awakening Energy and Awareness

With Rebekkah Kronlage
May 28-30, 2004

Joy of Yoga Studio
Montreal, Quebec

Join us with Rebekkah Kronlage, senior teacher from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, Mass., U.S.A., for a weekend journey of yoga, rooted in the Kripalu tradition of compassion, energy and awareness.

In this workshop, emerse your self in the beauty of Kripalu yoga. Through flowing asana, pranayama and concentration of mind, you will investigate how to listen deeply to the wisdom of prana (vital energy). Learn to integrate the ancient yogic teachings of Patanjali, with an intention to connect to our source and vital energy. We will also integrate chakra awareness into our practice to cultivate a deeper relationship and experience with our subtle body.

Enjoy Rebekkah's love for teaching energy anatomy, as she integrates a deep respect for the wisdom of the body as an instrument of the divine; believing that humor and lightheartedness are essential as we explore Kripalu yoga as a spiritual practice.

Rebekkah Kronlage
Rebekkah Kronlage is a senior teacher at Kripalu Center, a director of Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training and Kripalu Bodywork Training and a certified professional level Kripalu Yoga teacher. While her heart and home rest in Kripalu Yoga, Rebekkah has studied with teachers of other traditions including Kundalini and Anusara. An area of special interest is Energy Anatomy and she directs the Energy Balancing program at Kripalu. Rebekkah is featured on the popular Kripalu Moderate Yoga CD and Spirit of the Chakras audiocassette.

What Rebekkah says about Kripalu Yoga:
"Kripalu Yoga is a friend for life. In more than 17 years of living, studying, practicing and teaching Kripalu Yoga, I have witnessed an endless transformation of self, others and the world around me. Throughout those changes, the practice of Kripalu Yoga, on and off the mat, grounded me, opened me and continues to wake me, shake me and teach me how to love, how to let go, how to relax and how to be present with all the expressions of life. "

Kripalu Yoga Retreat & Renewal
With Kelly McGrath
Director of the Joy of Yoga Studio
Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health
Lenox, Mass., U.S.A.
June 8-10, 2004


There's always more to learn about yoga than I can possibly fit into a 60 or 90-minute class. Immersing you in the depth and breadth of yoga is a gift I'd like to share with you. That is why I'm co-ordinating a mid-week 3 night yoga retreat at the world-renowned Kripalu Center in Lenox, MA, the largest retreat center for yoga and holistic living in the U.S.

You can choose from a variety of yoga classes, take part in experiential workshops, unwind in the whirlpool and explore the Berkshire Mountains. Participate in as many or as few activities as you wish. There's no schedule to keep-except the one you create.

A retreat provides:
· A chance to thoroughly unwind from daily stresses
· Complete relaxation through postures and breathing
· A deeper connection to your yoga practice
· Healthy vegetarian meals all prepared for you
· Clear focus and sense of perspective
· Space and time to reflect on life

Yoga, meditation, relaxation and more. Do it all…or do nothing at all.

Where: Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA
When: June 8, 9, 10, 2004

Cost: All-inclusive rates for the three-night retreat are based on group size (the larger the group, the lower the rate!) and room preference. 15% discounted group rates for the three nights start at $238 U.S. per person. If you come with a group of 10 or more, you'll receive the 25% discounted group rates for the three-nights, which start at $207 per person. Pricing includes vegetarian meals, lodging and all scheduled Retreat and Renewal activities at Kripalu.

I'd love you to join us on our road trip to Kripalu!
(Car-pooling will be organised)

Testimonials from participants at:
Retreat and Renewal Afternoon: Yoga & Meditation. November 9/02.

"The break-down of time was perfect; your capacity to help us adapt the postures is wonderful; there was a nice atmosphere of mutual support and complicity. Your leading us through meditation practices was very helpful. The feeling of respect for each other that you encouraged reinforced an atmosphere of calm and non-competitiveness."

"I have found that since my introduction to the Joy of Yoga Studio, I have become more accepting of my limitations - physical and otherwise, am more tolerant and patient with other peoples differences and things I've found annoying. I still have a ways to go, but that's fine." Marilyn Lajeunesse

Testimonials from participants at:
Loving Kindness workshop July 15/03.

"Your Loving Kindness Workshop was three hours of absolute bliss. It allowed me to become aware of my limitations, yet to transcend them with acceptance & love & care of myself. Thank you."
Vanessa Siyin
Student

"Very well planned & filled with confidence and respect. I just loved Yoga Nidra. I was exhausted and feared I'd fall asleep, but that was just impossible. It was refreshing, energizing and fun."
