VINYASA YOGA
with Libba Harmon

Mon/Thurs 5:30-7pm • Tues/Wed noon-1:15pm
Drop-in $15

Vinyasa is a steady dynamic flow of connected yoga asanas linked with breathwork in a continuous movement

Libba Harmon, certified yoga teacher and licensed acupuncturist, found yoga in the early '90s, during her days as a Thai Boxer.When she decided to become a lover-not-a-fighter, Libba spent some time kicking around NYC, looking for some good asana. Being a downtown gal, Libba enjoyed the East Village yoga of years past, made sure to get in on some great visiting masters, andtaught at several downtown studios until the day she moved to Omaha, where she blossomed a busy acupuncture practice and brought sweaty NYC vinyasa to the Midwest set. Libba recently spent 2 years living in Panama, where she launched Rancho Kula, a yoga/surf retreat business. Libba's style has grown into a challenging hybrid of alignment-based and playful vinyasa, with periodic opportunity to tone it down considerably. . . here or there, you might catch her teaching a slower, lower practice.

Round and round, in and out, congestion and deficiency - these are the aspects of the chakras that need to be balanced. As you learn to examine the energy body through the chakra system, you will become more aware of your energetic needs and thus aim to restore the energy centers to homeostasis. Through specific movements, visualizations, and meditations, you can learn to cultivate and hone your awareness and balance your energetic field naturally. This class will meet for one hour each week and focus on one chakra at a time, beginning with the root and ending with the crown. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for yoga movements. The class will offer introductory information, beginner to intermediate yoga style movements, and end with visualization & meditation on the chakra of the week. Pillows and mats are available at the center, but feel free to bring your own. Please call in your RSVP to OM at 402-345-5078; drop-ins are also welcome.

An introductory class teaching "how to" on Tibetan meditation techniques: how to rest and stabilize the mind, necessary for insight meditation. This is a method for directly seeing the mind’s true nature. Buddha would often compare himself to a physician and the teachings to medicine.

All welcome, no previous training needed!


Mar. 25 - Five Element Theory & Point Locations

Acupoint Pressure Therapy (APT) is a complete system of healing and a type of massage therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine. Dr. Bole will teach a range of techniques, from those thousands of years old to those informed by current research. These 25 specific acupoints are used to restore balance in body function, dispel fatigue, relieve pain, improve circulation, and promote the body’s natural healing energy. By properly activating these points, we gain greater physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

This class is open to laypersons as well as professionals! No prerequisite!

Mar. 30 - Meditation & Mindfulness for Psychotherapists
with Richard Potter
1-4:30pm • $45

3.5 CEUs! • MUST RSVP!

Deepening the therapist's meditative practice and capacity for mindfulness is essential to using these powerful modalities with our clients. Meditation is also a very powerful self-care technique for therapists and is extremely useful in avoiding burn-out. More important than either of these is the effect of meditation on our consciousness for our personal growth and well-being. Lastly, as we become more and more aware, we are able to be of deeper service to our clients, families, communities, and the world around us.

This seminar will build upon practices learned in the first in the series, but we welcome and encourage those who were unable to attend the seminar in December to join us.

MAY

May 5 - "Awakening to a Full Life"
with Richard Potter
1-4:30pm • $30


Living our everyday lives can often be described as sleepwalking. We are often not aware of what we are doing, thinking, feeling, and experiencing. A major step on the spiritual path is "awakening" - we discover the fact we have been asleep only because we wake up and experience the life we have been missing.

The question of why we have been asleep is complex, but one important factor is what I call the "wanting beast." The wanting beast is the constantly seeking, constantly wanting, never satisfied part of our sleeping consciousness that keeps us preoccupied with fitful dreams and unable to wake up to a full and real life.

In this seminar we will work with a variety of spiritual practices to discover the path to a full life and discovery of our true purpose in life, which is the natural antidote to the "wanting beast."

Richard Potter is a clinical social worker and licensed mental health practitioner. He taught social work at Dana College for 26 years. Richard is also a senior teacher for the Sufi Order International and has been a spiritual guide and teacher for more than three decades.
