Vimarsha: Divine Reflection
Sometimes, to see our own potential more clearly, it helps to see it reflected through the eyes of another. In this workshop, we will playfully explore ways that working with a partner in yoga can deepen our connection to one another and to
ourselves. Using the ancient and useful principle of Vimarsha, or Divine Reflection, we will move through sequences of partner-assisted poses, where one helps the other, and double yoga poses, where each reflects the other in dynamic and balanced symmetries. We will use synchronized breathing exercises for relaxation and ultimate connection.
This workshop is for all levels. The only prerequisite is the desire to have fun practicing with another.
If you are in search of a partner for the workshop, please speak to the front desk before the day of the workshop.

Insight Yoga
Sunday, February 11, 2007 1:00-3:30pm
$30 per person/ $50 per couple pre-registered; $40 per person/$60 per couple at the door
Our yoga practice is generally an individual, personal, internal practice of integration and balance. In partner yoga practice we can cultivate these important qualities in the push-pull context of relationship. True intimacy is always a matter of genuine presence. A sense of wholeness or completeness is experienced when we see our own stability and presence as a partner. This kind of partnership can be seen in terms of universal brother/sisterhood. From our closest most intimate relationships, to the seemingly most distant – we can learn to be a true partner.
Please join us for this wonderful and illuminating practice! Bring a partner or come alone. In most cases partners of different weight and height can work together. This practice is appropriate for all levels of yoga experience.

In the subtle world of the energetic body, there exist certain vortexes that color the current flowing through them. Called chakras, these centers spin like a discus and when they release their potency, magic happens. In the realm of love, each chakra manifests its own peculiar qualities and as they flower, our love itself becomes a pathway to the Mystical Playground of the Divine. Part lecture, part practice and part aroma therapy, this workshop will move you through the different energies we manifest in our relationships, with each other and with our loved ones.

Sunday, February 11, 2007 2:00-4:00pm

Break through habits and discover new ways of relating. Examine your relationship using yogic philosophy. Connect to one another, beyond words, through loving kindness.
It is Mara's great pleasure to be assisted for this workshop by her own beloved husband, Duke. Mara and Duke have been practicing their relationship for over 10 years and are still loving it!
Mara originally began using movement to explore relating as an actor. She has enjoyed teaching Partner Yoga workshops for a few years now, and has recently added Thai Yoga Massage to her bag of tricks.
This class will be a fun, frank awakening for you and your partner and will put you into just the right frame of mind for Valentine's Day!

Fabulous Tripsichore Launch Party for New DVD and CD
Liberation Yoga
Friday, February 16, 2007 10:00pm-2:00am
Cost: $20
In Los Angeles, on February 16, Tripsichore is at Liberation Yoga. The party kicks off at 10:00 pm and the performance of MERELY TOTAL RISK will start then, so get there on time if you can. Latecomers will still be welcomed and it goes on until 2:00 am.
Drinks and food will be served.
The Performance: MERELY TOTAL RISK When this show premiered in Germany in September at the Trans-Atlantic Yoga Festival in Cologne, the usually staid Germans were on their feet shouting for more. American yogi, Seane Corn called it the best and sexiest show Tripsichore has done. This is an amazing show performed by astonishingly skilled yogis who have something to say about the ultimate potential of humankind.
The DVD: TRIPSICHORE YOGA: UNIQUELY ADVANCED VINYASA. Fourteen years in the making, it is a compendium of Tripsichore technique in a 2 DVD set. Produced by Pranamaya, it features performance material, workshop technique and classes. The standard is outrageously difficult. Tripsichore and Pranamaya have made something that will satisfy purchasers for at least 10 years.
The CD: KILL THE GURU A Noir Yoga Comedy This is a detective genre yoga comedy inspired by the cheap crime fiction and bad gurus of the 1970s. It is a story about the sordid spiritual underbelly of the yoga world and one man’s eventful journey down the dark street of enlightenment. The ancient form of the comedy album is not dead and the notion of yoga comedy is brand new.

Partner yoga also welcomes partners of different sizes, levels and flexibility, this serves as an opportunity in learning to work with different body types.
Relationships usually serve in reflecting certain aspects of ourselves which need to be addressed: for some of us it involves patience, trust, acceptance and becoming a better receiver or giver. In Partner Yoga you will assist one another in going deeper into certain asanas, and guide each other using fundamental concepts of alignment. The practice will also involve supporting one another in poses to develop trust and cultivate sensitivity when working with others.

Fabulous Tripsichore Launch Party for New DVD and CD
Liberation Yoga
Friday, February 16, 2007 10:00pm-2:00am
Cost: $20
In Los Angeles, on February 16, Tripsichore is at Liberation Yoga. The party kicks off at 10:00 pm and the performance of MERELY TOTAL RISK will start then, so get there on time if you can. Latecomers will still be welcomed and it goes on until 2:00 am.
Drinks and food will be served.
The Performance: MERELY TOTAL RISK When this show premiered in Germany in September at the Trans-Atlantic Yoga Festival in Cologne, the usually staid Germans were on their feet shouting for more. American yogi, Seane Corn called it the best and sexiest show Tripsichore has done. This is an amazing show performed by astonishingly skilled yogis who have something to say about the ultimate potential of humankind.
The DVD: TRIPSICHORE YOGA: UNIQUELY ADVANCED VINYASA. Fourteen years in the making, it is a compendium of Tripsichore technique in a 2 DVD set. Produced by Pranamaya, it features performance material, workshop technique and classes. The standard is outrageously difficult. Tripsichore and Pranamaya have made something that will satisfy purchasers for at least 10 years.
The CD: KILL THE GURU A Noir Yoga Comedy This is a detective genre yoga comedy inspired by the cheap crime fiction and bad gurus of the 1970s. It is a story about the sordid spiritual underbelly of the yoga world and one man’s eventful journey down the dark street of enlightenment. The ancient form of the comedy album is not dead and the notion of yoga comedy is brand new.
