Integrated Pranotherapy: Vital Points For Systems & Conditions
2018-04-13 - 2018-04-15 | KC Yoga Studio, 1317 Hilltop Drive, Windsor, CO, 80550, United States
For centuries the word Prana has been associated with the ubiquitous life force or vitality that flows throughout the Universe and energizes our bodies through our breath.
As part of this process our individual energy or Intrinsic Vitality flows, intersects and pools at various points throughout the body and can impact our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. When our energy becomes obstructed or depleted, it gives rise to dis-ease, injury, trauma and physiological dysfunction.
During this program participants will receive an introduction to the Pranic or Intrinsic Vital Point System, techniques for becoming aware of and increasing Prana and protocols to support specific systems and address specific conditions.
Participants will…
• Become familiar with Prana and Pranic flows
• Identify and address Pranic “leaks”
• Gather and boost individual Prana
• Guide and utilize Prana to heal themselves and the world
Friday Evening – Self Care for Individuals
6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (3 Hours)
During this session we will explore the classical and cutting-edge definitions of Prana (or Intrinsic Vitality). Jeff will share a brief history of Pranotherapy and will lead participants through an integrated self-care protocol for decreasing stress and tension and increasing relaxation, sensitivity and Pranic flow. All levels of experience are invited.
Saturday – Prāṇic Circulation & Vital Points for Yoga Teachers & Therapists
9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (6 Hours)
Expanding on Friday evening, participants will explore the nervous system as the gateway of embodied prana. Jeff will introduce the prānic circulatory system (nāḍīs) and how the quality and quantity of prana impacts our perception and experience of reality. We will explore the vital points associated each of these primary pranic channels as well as their functions and the impact of the practice of yoga.
Sunday – Integration: Yoga, Vital Points, Systems & Prāṇotherapy
9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (6 Hours)
During this final session Jeff will focus on the therapeutic application of vital point Pranotherapy. He will demonstrate āsana practice with Pranotherapy integration as well as protocols for specific conditions. Participants will have a chance to integrate and experience this knowledge in a practical, shared session environment.

During this workshop students will enjoy:

A deeper understanding of what pranayama is and the purpose of the practice
An explanation of the process and progression of a pranayama practice.
An assessment of their own pranayama practice
An easily accessible set of practices to prepare the mind and body for pranayama

Dubuque Yoga & Oneness Festival 2017
2017-04-28 - 2017-04-30 | AZ
Join Jeff Masters for what promises to be a great time at the Dubuque Yoga Festival in April!
Jeff will be offering four of his most popular workshops to attendees including:

Saturday April 29
8:30 AM to 10:30 AM – Samskaric Archeology & Alchemy: The Foundation
Samskaras are powerful forces that influence the shape and color of our perception of reality. In this class we will explore the capacity our body has to perceive, receive, carry and store Samskaras and how these impressions are embedded at multiple levels within the different Kosas. We will also cover the use of Yoga to process these deeply held impressions.
We will explore current research supporting the physical correlates of the various Kosa that allow for Samskaric transference and be introduced to Samskaric Archeology & Alchemy practices for engaging each sheath to become aware of, process and ultimately release these deeply held patterns.

11:00 AM to 12:30 PM – Mantra: The Sacred Geometry of Sound
The science of mantra is literally the science of ‘freeing the mind’ from the distractions of the external world and internal fluctuations of our thoughts.
During this experiential class we will delve deep into the study of how sound impacts the mind, how it can affect the very structure of tissues and its’ influence on the cascade of our emotions components that govern our overall health and wellness.
We will also explore the consciousness expanding nature of mantra as it applies to the esoteric practices of Tantra Yoga.

2:00 PM to 4:00 PM – Yoga and the Psychobiology of Stress
Stress and trauma are vast subjects with many facets and aspects of study. Similarly, the system of Yoga, ancient and as deep as the wells of time and space, consists of many disciplines and “tools” that can be tapped to assist us in our everyday lives. At the root of Sri Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga is the concept of Samskaras, latent impressions that impact our consciousness and, to a greater extent, our lives.
During this two-day class, participants will explore the history of stress, the trauma experience, the physiology behind the roots of the trauma experience, it’s connection to the Yogic concept of Samskaras, current research and neuroscience behind the healing aspects of Yoga, and simple practices which can be taken back to support their practice and their community at large.
This course re-enforces common Yogic terminology, philosophy, and practices while bringing ancient practices into the light of current scientific research and discoveries.

Sunday April 30
8:30 AM to 10:00 AM – An Introduction to Samkhya Yoga
Many who study Yoga may have not heard of the Samkhya philosophy. Samkhya is the life blood that runs through the practice of Yoga and the art and science of Yoga is the practical manifestation of the Sāṁkhya Philosophy. It is through this practice that students are able to embody the states of mind and body elucidated in the Yoga Sutras of Sri Pantanjali.
