The Dhrib Dhrirti Lochina Karma Kriya is powerful yet simple meditation that is often taught on the eve of the full moon when the subconscious mind is fully open to the moon’s energy. The name means "the action of acquiring insight into the future," and some benefits are developing the power to heal with the eyes, being able to talk inspiringly and having the power to penetrate deeply. This meditation can be practiced by beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Dress comfortably and bring a meditation shawl.

Jap Dharam/Vicky Rose has been diligently studying Kundalini Yoga for 10 years and was KRI as a teacher certified 4 years ago. She finds this age-old technology evermore applicable to the needs of the modern age and makes it her mission to help all who may wish to use it.

“The Hi Yoga training was just what I needed. Since I home schooled my son for 12 years and now he is going to graduate from college, I really missed teaching and being with little people. Teaching Kid's Yoga at the extended care of the local Montessori school, ages 3-5, has filled that ache in my heart. I love it. The teacher loves it too, and said yesterday that when they do "the Sa Ta Na Ma" it calms her class right down...so they have incorporated the meditation chant into their routine after just 3 classes! Remarkable. So many precious gifts for me. I highly recommend Hi Yoga Teacher Training for your family and your community.” Diana James

This magical evening will include a short Kundalini yoga warm-up, Venus Kriyas and exercises for enhancing intimacy and love AND a guided journey using the Healing Breath. Whether you bring a partner or come to make new friends, you will feel comfortable in the playful, spirit-infused environment.

Venus Kriyas combine masculine and feminine polarities with asanas, mudras, mantras, pranayam and meditation to generate strong psycho-magnetic fields. Divine energy is drawn in during these exercises and is positively directed toward cleansing, release and the raising of awareness through the chakras to unite both partners with their highest consciousness.

The Sacred Breathing Circle is a journey into the Self. It allows you to identify and release mental, emotional and physical blocks and bring light to areas that need healing. Experience Kundalini Yoga and an ancient pranic technique called the Healing Breath which promotes healing and regeneration on all levels. Please wear comfortable clothes that you can move in.

Wahe Guru Kaur is a KRI-certified yoga teacher and the owner of the Awareness Center. After studying under David Elliott, author of The Reluctant Healer, she went on to create the Sacred Breathing Circle. She also offers a Healer Training program and private sessions using the Healing Breath technique.

Wahe Guru Kaur will resume private healing sessions in February. Appointments fill up quickly, due to her modified schedule. Please call the front desk for an appointment.

There will be an opening Kundalini Yoga meditation; practice with a partner; further meditations; one break, further practice and a closing meditation. Beginners are welcome.

Communication is an art and a science, yet it’s very misunderstood. Communication often breaks down when we feel challenged: when we’re angry, emotional, hurt, insecure, or in your ego, yet it these are the most important moments when we should speak consciously.

When you speak consciously, that which you speak about happens. When you speak harmoniously, that which you speak is mutually understood. You must communicate with your own soul. You must communicate with your own mind. And you must communicate with your own self, as a Man.

This month’s Men’s workshop includes through discussion, yoga exercises and meditation to help men learn about:

Art and Science of harmonious communication How to communicate consciously and effectively with your partner and others Learn about the "Blocks Men Can't Talk About" and how to overcome these to achieve your potential as a Man. Techniques and exercises to help you communicate successfully and effectively under all circumstances—even those of conflict and challenge—to get back into your power.

“You can be what you want to be, but you can’t be what you wish to be. The time has come. We want to be, we should be, and we have to be…men.” - Yogi Bhajan

What is SO PURKH? It is the meditation for ALL Women in Kundalini Yoga. What does chanting SO PURKH do? Yogi Bhajan spoke glowingly about the tremendous power and potential of reciting SO PURKH. He said a woman could use this shabd to:

• Attract a child to you who will become a man of God
• Heal a man
• Transform a man into a man of God
• Attract a man of God to be your husband
• Make God appear before you

You are invited to join other women in healing, transforming and elevating their relationships with men and removing any negativity within such relationships in a safe, sacred space dedicated to the highest potential of feminine group consciousness.
