Description
Yin Yoga is a passive form of yoga in which the poses are held for longer periods of time in order to focus on the connective tissues of the body, creating greater flexibility in the spine, hips and legs. This practice is perfect for anyone who feels as if they may enhance their ability within their favorite sport, or gain greater comfort in their life with an increase in flexibility to the low back, pelvis, hips or hamstrings, while learning to release tension in the mind and still the thoughts. Suitable for any level of practitioner.

Join your friends at Mandala Yoga Community for our
2nd Annual Community Firewalk | Saturday June 26 | 6-10:30pm

Join Certified Sundoor Firewalk Instructor Ryan Halas for a powerful night of activation, inspiration, and magical transformation. Ryan comes from North Carolina, and is traveling across the country again this year to bring firewalking back to Bend. Those of you who had the pleasure of walking with Ryan last year know that this will be a night to remember!

Firewalking opens us to a greater perspective than that of our normal day to day experience -Peggy Dylan

For this second firewalk ceremony held here in Bend, we will be gathering with joy, revisiting our desire to live lives of purpose and action in the world. This walk is for those who wish to live a life of spiritual activity, not the passive “spiritual bypass” that so many spiritual seekers find themselves trapped within. This walk will be a remembering of our individual purposes and a revitalizing of our energies. Please come and celebrate with us! It will certainly be a walk to remember.

Why does she walk on coals? Magic walks beside her and within her, and she passes unscathed. When he walks, who walks beside him? Is he holding hands with grace, is he so enveloped in the heart of spirit that fire cannot touch him?

You are every bit as beautiful, amazing, and capable as you think you are — the fire just reminds you of that. -Ryan Halas

We each walk on fire for our own reason, and yet inside the experience we find the same jewel- a burning ember, a heart of fire. We walk on coals because we want something that badly. There are things in life worth walking through fire for. For each person those things are different. The decision to attend the firewalk is just the beginning. What we ask for at the firewalk is a seed planted into the universe It will sprout, and in that sprouting change our whole lives. How it will manifest and in what time are two things that we can never know. That is the beauty of the process. That we make a request of fire and that golden ember changes everything.

Cost:
$35 for first-time walkers
$25 for those who walked with Ryan last year
Returning Walker Special: If you walked with Ryan last year, bring a friend who has not walked before and receive $5 off
Limited scholarships available. Please call Ryan for details.

Pre-register online at www.mandalayogabend.com

*We will begin our night at MYC, then carpool out to the site of the firewalk, about a 15 minute drive from downtown Bend. Maps will be provided. Questions? For more information, please call or email:

Join us on Tuesday nights from 7:15-9pm for this transformational series in Spiritual Integration. Marshall B. Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication method has been an incredible tool for many in our community as we seek to work through conflict and more fully express ourselves in our intimate relationships, jobs, families, schools, conflicts, and many other places. As Rosenberg writes, “NVC helps us connect with each other and ourselves in a way that allows our natural compassion to flourish.”

ABOUT STEVE GOLD:
Steve Gold is a singer, songwriter and yogi who composes original songs that are a blend of American blues, Sanskrit mantras, with Western pop and folk melodies. His music has become a soundtrack for yoga classes since the release of the widely acclaimed CD, So Much Magnificence. His distinctively rich vocal timbre and his engaging enthusiasm encourages the listener’s heart to open. Steve and his wife Anne-Émilie travel the world offering their gifts of heart melting harmonies. For more information and to listen to the music please visit Steve’s official website http://www.somuchmagnificence.com/

“I have witnessed rivers of tears flow from people listening to Steve Gold’s version of this incredible praise of the ocean” says Shiva Rae about the song So Much Magnificence.

“Magnificence is ‘pure gold.’ Steve Gold is a down to earth, soulful being who creates powerfully positive music that heals, connects and inspires. These healing vibrations come straight from the heart, and weave a sacred space for yoga, healing or being. I have had the pleasure of welcoming Steve and Anne-Émilie into my class and sharing music with them. The effects are miraculous, people all over the world are responding to this music. I whole-heartedly embrace and recommend this sacred music.” Saul David Raye, yogi, healer, activist

“Steve Gold and Anne-Emilie … shine forth clearly as conductors of prana, seeking the note that brings the whole group together in song.” Lorin Roche, Ph.D., Author, The Radiance Heart Sutras

Beautiful ones, seriously – don’t miss this!
