Finding Balance in Yoga & in Life with Paula Goudsmit

Sunday, January 29th from 1:00pm - 3:00pm

Click here to Register Today!

Holding certain yoga poses requires a blend of using strength, determination and purpose combined with the ability to continually readjust, release judgment and be able to let go at any moment in order to improve. Life is no different.

We are always at choice in life around how we react to what is presented to us yet often work against ourselves through the standards or story we tell ourselves. To use a metaphor, it's like building a house on sand so we are expending energy just to keep it from collapsing, rather than building it on solid land where our energy can be used for enjoying or enhancing what we've already built.

The tools and techniques you will learn during this experiential workshop include:

Gaining clarity around "choice" and how to continually chose perspectives to support your goals and vision.
Learning a 4 quadrant model that maps to the significant phases of renewal and what goals are best tackled during these times.
Identify key focus areas for 2012 and how you can maximize your time and energy, while being more productive.

Materials and handouts will be provided. This is not a yoga class but rather a class that aspires to improve your yoga and your life.

During this experiential workshop you will learn tools and techniques to align your 2012 goals with your vision and values making decision making, prioritization and planning easy and fulfilling. Come to this workshop to learn how to create more flow for your life and your yoga practice in 2012 and how to leverage both in achieving what you want for yourself this year.
