Spiritual Stocktaking for the Jewish New Year:
Ancient Jewish Practices For Modern Times

Wednesday September 24th, 2008
7:300 PM -9:00 PM

Or Shalom Synagogue

Join Evelyn Neaman and Steve Herman for an evening yoga workshop to help prepare yourself for the new year. The month of Elul is the time for introspection. The evening integrates principles and practices of yoga, including: breath work, meditation, chanting and complementary yoga postures, with the ancient Jewish tradition of “Tshuvah”, the Hebrew word meaning, reflection, repentance, and renewal.

This workshop is open to anyone wanting to explore the parallels and practices of yoga (to unite) and tshuvah (to return). All are welcome but space is limited. Pre-registration is required and payment is a donation to Or Shalom. For more information or to register call Evelyn Neaman @ (604)738-9295 or by e:mail: tikkunyoga@shaw.ca.


Healing Through Breath and Stillness with Evelyn Neaman

Objective: : The 20 hour, 4 Week Program provides a complete and integrated foundation for the practice and teaching of Restorative Yoga as a true healing art. Restorative Yoga is a unique approach to postures (asanas) which leads to profound relaxation. Participants are guided into supported postures with the use of props, pillows, blankets, breath work, sacred sound and mindfulness practices. These supported "restoratives" activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the body's natural healing system) and are beneficial for reducing stress while cultivating inner peace. Restorative Yoga adapts classical asana practice to de-emphasize physical work while emphasizing tension release and gentle alignment.

The training provides opportunities to:
  1. Understand the philosophical context of restorative yoga asana practice
  2. Learn a variety of relaxation techniques, including yoga nidra
  3. Learn more about the structure, function and patterns of breathing techniques
  4. Understand specialized techniques for classes and individual sessions
  5. Learn meditation techniques that can be applied during restorative yoga classes
  6. Practice restorative yoga
  7. Prepare and teach Restorative Yoga classes

A certificate of completion will be granted upon successful completion of the program. Evelyn Neaman is a SOYA faculty instructor and the course can be included as part of the SOYA teacher training requirment.
