The Wheels of Life an exploration into Kundalini Yoga and Mandala Making

 YogART Practice  

The synthesis of Yoga and Art is very powerfull practice. Through Yoga ones becomes grounded in ones body and the internal mind chatter diminishes.  As one approaches the Transformative Art Making, one embodies that state of being through its manifestation of ones own art.  Countless times we have seen people shift from feeling of restlessness and leave theYogART experience with deep and fullfilled sense of meaning. The Art that is made becomes a marker and talisman of their experience.

This is an amazing and alchemic seven week workshop that explores the unity between Yoga, Art Making and Transformation

.

 Each class will be dedicated to the exploration of your internal energy map, the Chakra System. The concept of chakra originates in Hindu texts its name derives from the Sanskrti word for “wheel” or “turning.’  This workshop series is an intra personal journey as you explore and ascend through your own seven Chakra’s, throughout the process of Yoga and Art. Our small Transformative (Expressive) Yoga/Art Circles are for all levels of experience and very intimate, there is a maximum of six participants. This allows for individual attention. dialogue and process. Participants in our workshops series are encouraged and guided to discover the power of their own creativity and the value of what that can teach them. The ultimate intention of our Transformative Workshop Series is to teach and reveal that art is a gift that in latent in everyone (all) and that it has the ability to transform our lives as well as has the potential to transform 
the world that we live in.

Each week Jodi Fuchs will facilitate the Kundalini Yoga Process for 45 minutes and then Transformative Art Instructors Ceylan and Lisa (Art 4 All People) will facilitate the intuitive process of you creating your own Mandala for 45 minutes. For Art Making you have an abundance of supplies to choose from paint, pastels, markers, and pencils etc. The class will close with a 15 minute group dialogue about your process and discovery.  Each class you will take your Art work home and are encouraged to do simple exercises throughout the week to deepen your experience.
