Retreats &Workshops
"The workshop was nothing short of Awesome for this newly minted yogi. Maura revealed the tapestry by which ancient philosophy, modern psychology and cutting edge neuroscience have all come to the same conclusions as to how the mind and body are connected. Understanding these fundamentals has made each pose more meaningful and my practice that much more focussed."

Introduction to the yoga
ChakraSystem
Taught by:
Maura Matarese, M.A. LMHC, R.Y.T.
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel.
The chakra system is ancient science which serves as the cornerstone for yoga psychology. Chakras correlate with various glandular and nerve centers located along the spine. When our Chakra system is working properly, we find ourselves feeling happy, healthy and whole. When any of our chakras are out of synch, this manifests directly into our physical and emotional health.
In this workshop you will:
1. Learn about the various chakras and where they live in our bodies.
2. Develop a basic understanding of the science, psychology, and philosophy of the yoga chakra system.
3. Learn which chakras you may have deficient or excessive functioning, and develop an understanding of their underlying causes
4. Learn specific poses that balance each chakra
This workshop will consist of a presentation with handouts, asana practice, and end with Q&A. To book this, contact Maura at: maura@yoga-for-all.com
