Thriving in Healthcare: How Pranayama, Asana, and Dyana Can Transform Your Practice
Thriving in Healthcare: How pranayama, asana, and dyana can transform your practice Melissa Lea-Foster Rietz, FNP-BC, BC-ADM, RYT-200 Presbyterian Medical Services Farmington, NM [email protected] Professional Disclosure I have no personal or professional affiliation with any of the resources listed in this presentation, and will receive no monetary gain or professional advancement from this lecture. Talk Objectives Provide a VERY brief history of yoga Define three aspects of wellness: mental, physical, and social. Define pranayama, asana, and dyana. Discuss the current evidence demonstrating the impact of pranayama, asana, and dyana on mental, physical, and social wellness. Learn and practice three techniques of pranayama, asana, and dyana that can be used in the clinic setting with patients. Resources to encourage participation from patients and to enhance your own practice. Yoga as Medicine It is estimated that 21 million adults in the United States practice yoga. In the past 15 years the number of practitioners, of all ages, has doubled. It is thought that this increase is related to broader access, a growing body of research on the affects of the practice, and our understanding that ancient practices may hold the key to healing modern chronic diseases. Yoga: A VERY Brief History Yoga originated 5,000 or more years ago with the Indus Civilization Sanskrit is the language used in most Yogic scriptures and it is believed that the principles of the practice were transmitted by word of mouth for generations. Georg Feuerstien divides the history of Yoga into four catagories: Vedic Yoga: connected to ritual life, focus the inner mind in order to transcend the limitations of the ordinary mind Preclassical Yoga: Yogic texts, Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita Classical Yoga: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the eight fold path Postclassical Yoga: Creation of Hatha (willful/forceful) Yoga, incorporation of the body into the practice Modern Yoga Swami (master) Vivekananda speaks at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893.

The mind is the trunk. The body constitutes the leaves. The leaves are no doubt important; they gather the sun’s rays for the entire tree. The trunk is equally important, perhaps more so. But if the root is not watered, neither will survive for long. “Education should start with the infant. Even the mother’s lullaby should be divine and soul elevating, infusing in the child fearlessness, joy, peace, selflessness and godliness. “Education is not the amassing of information and its purpose is not mere career hunting. It is a means of developing a fully integrated personality and enabling one to grow effectively into the likeness of the ideal that one has set before oneself. Education is a drawing out from within of the highest and best qualities inherent in the individual. It is training in the art of living.” —Swami Satyananda Saraswati Yoga, May 2001, p. 8 “Just getting into a school a few years ago was a big deal.

The Heart Aroused a Yoga Intensive with Donna Farhi with Guest Artists Joan Miller (Kirtan) and Prabhu Osoniqs (Hang Musician)
donna farhi 20TH - 24TH NOVEMBER 2015 AUCKLAND The Heart Aroused A Yoga Intensive with Donna Farhi with guest artists Joan Miller (Kirtan) and Prabhu Osoniqs (Hang Musician) “Working with Donna is like deep sea diving ... being invited to access a deeper, more subterranean part of myself that I’m not used to spending time in. Slowing down, diving in and really allowing myself to ask questions about my physical, mental and emotional state of being.” ~ Emily Buttle, Sydney “A Donna Odyssey. Food for every cell of the body.” ~ Mathew Bergan, London “I cannot emphasize enough the suspended atmosphere created by both the kirtan and the musical accompaniment. Prabhu’s music was magical and mesmerizing. Joan Miller’s voice a joy.” ~ Meagan Kelly, Christchurch Each of us has a dharmic path that when followed with commitment and tenacity leads us to the awakening of our fullest potential. How do we reconnect with this larger vision of our self? In this intensive we will explore ways of connecting with our deepest heart’s desire; using the practice of Yoga to bring clarity and courage to the journey. A special emphasis of this intensive will be on learning to open to our personal experience of heart-felt-ness – in the physical body as well as energetically, emotionally, and spiritually. Assisted by kirtan artist Joan Miller, and guided by the mesmerizing sound orchestration of Prabhu Osoniqs, we’ll learn to gently relax and open the heart, reawakening our capacity for joyfulness and wonder. As we deepen into our heart’s intelligence we may also encounter our strongest feelings and emotions.

Alignment Yoga
Alignment Yoga Advanced Studies/ Teacher Training with Scott Anderson 2010/11 www.AlignmentYoga.com Welcome to Alignment Yoga Thank you for examining Alignment Yoga’s Advanced Studies Program. Whether you desire a deepening understanding of your practice and/or aspire to teach, we have the experience and expertise to facilitate your growth. This program is based on Scott Anderson’s more than 20 years of teaching and 15 years training teachers. Participants will receive extensive instruction in the art & science of Hatha Yoga and the skills needed to safely & competently teach this ancient practice. Many yoga schools teach the outer form of yoga postures (a knee here, an elbow there…), but neglect teaching the art of modifying the techniques to the needs of individuals. We emphasize that form follows function in the practice of Hatha Yoga. Rather than memorizing endless names and details, you will be encouraged to think for yourself as you refine your observational skills. We firmly believe, to paraphrase the old adage, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to simply give him a fish to eat. Trying to be everything to everybody generally dooms an endeavor to mediocrity. Every program director is thus faced with choices – their priority list, so to speak. While our program complies faithfully with Yoga Alliance National Certification Guidelines, we’ve placed particular emphasis in two areas. • Our exploration of the techniques of asana, pranayama, bandha and kriya are comprehensive and backed with a rigorous study of anatomy & physiology. You will understand not only the inner workings of these techniques, but develop an extensive array of techniques to transmit your understanding to your students.

Books to Deepen Your Practice If You'd Like To
Books to Deepen Your Practice If you’d like to deepen your understanding of yoga, these are some of my favorite yoga books. Light On Yoga by B. K. S. Iyengar This is the classic book for yogis to deepen your practice. It’s very detailed, and has pictures throughout to help you see what’s being described. I’ll be honest, I got more out of this book after I’ve been practicing for awhile, but it has everything you could hope to learn in here! Every Body Yoga by Jessamyn Stanley A great book for inspiration if you aren’t a willowy yogi—or if you are! I love Jessamyn’s underlying philosophy of yoga: that it’s more important to tap into how you feel instead of how you look. You might also want to take a look at Yoga for Everyone: 50 Poses for Every Type of Body by Dianne Bondy. Yoga Anatomy by Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews A wonderful book to see what muscles to engage in each pose. Leslie and Amy are true masters of anatomy and I highly recommend this book wherever you are in your yoga journey. Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith If you’re curious about chakras, this is a great (although long!) book with one of my favorite teachers, Anodea Judith. She’s dedicated her career as a yogi to showing how yoga engages our chakras and intersects with western thinking. Journey Into Power by Baron Baptiste If you’re interested in power yoga, this is a great book to learn the structure, and get a good mindset shake up.
