Ayurveda is the ancient, holistic approach to health and wellbeing and is commonly known as the "sister science" to yoga. Formed in India 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda focuses on the individual's constitution to bring balance to the individual's physical, emotional, and mental health. Ayurveda uses diet, yoga, meditation, pranayama, wellness techniques (such as the neti pot), and lifestyle routines to bring balance into the individual's life. There is no one size fits all method, and techniques for wellbeing can change with season, age, and lifestyle changes. Join Laurie Searle in exploring the basics of Ayurveda, different aspects of this ancient practice, and how to bring these techniques into your personal life.
Laurie Searle, E-RYT500, has been teaching for over twenty years and leads teacher trainings in the Los Angeles area and internationally through the Sphota Yoga School. She is the founder of F.E.D.(Fight Eating Disorders), a 501c3 humanitarian non-profit organization offering assistance for those suffering from eating disorders who are unable to afford medical support. Laurie is also the creator and writer of Lady Yoga, Superhero, featured monthly in LA Yoga Magazine, and Miami Yoga Magazine.

CardiYoga
A great way to torch calories, stretch AND strengthen the body in one complete class. This is the gym and studio in one. CardiYoga is based in the Ashtanga primary series and is infused with cardio interval bursts to raise the heart rate, detox, energize, tone and elongate the body. All levels welcome but should be familiar with basic yoga poses.
Pranayama Workshop
Pranayama allows us to direct our energy to the deepest part of the self. Controlling and maintaining our energy gives us the ability to savor each moment we have and spend it wisely in our every day life providing us with a deeper sense of understanding of ourselves, each other, our purpose and our passion.
Advanced Posture Workshop
Asana is one of the most fun of the 8 limbs of yoga. You donโt have to be the bendiest most acrobatic yogi to benefit from challenging postures.
The advanced posture workshop is a spring-board jumping off foundational postures and leaping through fear without attachment to result by allowing our bodies and minds to take flight, push our edges and limits on and off the mat.
Adjustments Workshop
Proper alignment is key for the body and mind. This workshop is for teachers and students to learn the appropriate physical alignment for each individual and how to self adjust in your own personal practice. Keeping the bones, muscles and joints in the right position allowing space to stretch, engage and restore.
Yogassage
Yogassage works the body from the outside, inside out. You know your body best. In this all levels class we merge dynamic flow, static holds and self massage to restore the body to it's original open and supple space. Deep breath is the foundation of this class, dynamic flow warms the body, static holds deepen the stretch and self massage techniques are introduced to relieve pain and deepen the experience.
Kitchadi Kitchen
Kitchadi is a savory staple dish in the Indian culture.
Ayurveda โthe science of life,โ provides an integrated approach to preventing and treating illness through lifestyle interventions and natural therapies. Kitchadi is just one of the recommendations for living and being yoga. It is a sattvic or balanced food for all body types, providing the perfect combination of fat, protein and carbohydrates. It is 100% vegetarian, natural and wholesome and provides a great base for your favorite vegetables and other dishes. It's delish!
Body P.A.C.T โ
Reflecting Your Best Self Through Mindfulness, Meditation & Yoga
Learning to love the physical body from the inside out, e learn to make a pact with ourselves and manage our day-to-day stress by healing and recovering from issues with food through yoga, meditation and breathing. We reignite our Purpose; Appreciate what we are given and how we use our bodies, minds and souls; remain Compassionate to our bodies by treating it with respect; and Trust that we are doing what we need to fuel ourselves towards our highest good for ourselves and others. This four-part system is an accessible way to deal with the everyday stresses of life by identifying the triggers that set us off while finding healthy ways to navigate through to the other side of stress โ arriving back to our original form of peace, calm, tranquility and openness.
Teen Empowerment Bootcamp
