Yoga has entered into mainstream America and in many ways adopted an American slang or flavor to itself. Yoga is consciousness; a step-by-step approach whose ultimate goal is for the mind to dissolve into oneness. A state where there are no reactions to our everyday life but a response to them. This workshop will focus on yoga as a way to develop a relationship between mind/body/brain through food, exercise and meditation.

Consciousness is less understood but a most needed phenomena in anyone’s life. Consciousness is a phenomena of perception that is possible when our mnd chatter completely stops and whatever is in front of you is observed with clarity. This clarity is what we are looking for in our life to make decisions for our life and well being. This workshop will introduce you to a state of consciousness through a few techniques. It will also give each participant a clear understanding of how our brain/mind can be a chief source of disturbances to the consciousness and how you can release your brain/mind from creating these disturbances.

A few things to keep in mind when registering for classes:
Payment must accompany registration; enrollment is limited. Seating in our classes is on a first-come, first-serve basis. When you arrive, please take a minute or two to check in. Durning classes/lectures, you'll receive a copy of the recipes or handouts to take home. All cooking classes are taught by demonstration unless specifically stated as a "hands on" class which takes a lower enrollment since students will participate in preparing the dishes. During our cooking classes, you will receive a sampling of all the dishes prepared....this is one of the best parts of the class!
Cancellation Policy
Refunds or transfers to another class/lecture will be honored within a minimum of 3 days notice. In the event of a late cancellation [less than 3 days notice] there is no refund, but you may send a friend in your place. We reserve the right to cancel any class (offering full refunds) if minimum enrollment is not met and to make last minute menu changes based on ingredient availability. If you have not pre-registerd for a lecture but are planning to attend as a "walk in", call that day to confirm space availability and stop at the Customer Service Desk to pay for your seat before coming upstairs to our classroom.
