How do we live our yoga off the mat? In its highest aspect, by becoming masters of our destiny. Until we become masters, we all have the power to shape the trajectory of our lives, achieve meaningful goals, and thoughtfully evaluate our circumstances in order to course-correct when necessary. This workshop gives us the tools. Join Paul on a journey of self-discovery as we boldly uncover aspects of ourselves that will inspire us to shine right now, today, and motivate us to work through that which dims our light. Based on the ancient Vedic concept of Purushārtha (intentions of the soul) and presented by the modern teachings of The Four Desires (book/workbook/courses by ParaYoga/Rod Stryker) along with other various supporting texts, students will leave with a tangible, specific, and appropriate roadmap for the next 6-18 months complete with fail-safes, and, an honest definition of possibly the biggest question of all: “what is my purpose in life”?! Each of the sessions build upon the last and it is strongly recommended that students attend all sessions for complete benefit. Tuition does not include The Four Desires Workbook ($25 paperback / $9.99 Kindle); not required but encouraged. Can’t wait to dive in together! This course is registered as continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance.

  • It's "goal setting on steroids"

  • We'll uncover our subconscious habits and patterns

  • We'll set conscious smaller monthly / annual goals that support our overall purpose

  • We'll discover reasons preventing us from achieving past goals

  • The majority of our time together is discussion, contemplation, writing/journaling, meditation, breathing, and yoga nidra (relaxation)… very little physical yoga is practiced.

  • A look into karma, vikalpa, and dharma, and how these forces inform our life’s path

  • The power of affirmation and manifestation through kriyashakti

  • Sankalpa shakti (the power of resolve); how to increase capacity of will and determination

Yoga Nidrā: The Path to Turiya #2

REGISTER HERE

IN PERSON and LIVESTREAM!

Part two… more practices, more theory top support your spiritual path!
You’ve heard the term, but what does it actually mean? Nidrā, translated from Sanskrit, means “sleep”. How is “yogic sleep” different from regular sleep? Is it the same as meditation? What are the different “dimensions” of consciousness that we can access through this practice? There are multiple approaches to yoga nidrā, with different intentions, but all include the principle of letting the physical body relax completely while the mind remains alert. The body moves into the sleep state and the mind is guided through a process of calming, then is directed toward more subtle experiences. Paul will share the foundational theories of yoga nidrā and guide students through several practices. Practices include light āsana and breath work, then students lay down on yoga mats for yoga nidrā.

  • Yoga nidrā for relaxation, healing, sharpening cognition, and spiritual awakening

  • Sankalpa shakti (the power of resolve); how to increase capacity of will and determination

  • Differences between yoga nidrā and traditional meditation

  • Yoga nidrā and the koshas; how to address each layer of our being

  • The four states of consciousness

Aimed at those who have some experience with meditation and breathing practices and seasoned meditators! Now that you have a personal, working knowledge of calming the mind and emotions on a regular and consistent basis, it’s time to dive deeper, in a serene natural environment that will provide self-nourishment and learning, in a retreat-type weekend experience. This intermediate-level meditation course is a multi-part immersion for those who are interested in the science and mechanics of the techniques available to us, and how to use this knowledge to create specific, intentional practices for yourself and if desired, for others in a teaching environment. Content draws from the “three rivers” of classical yoga, tantra, and ayurveda, woven together into practices including prānāyāma, kriya, bandha, mudrā, mantra, yoga nidrā / deep relaxation, visualization, affirmation, and others. Students will learn how to “sequence” meditation methodologies and to select specific techniques to achieve intended results. This immersion includes discussion/lecture, practical experience doing the techniques, and some experience leading others through the practices.

to Aug 14

**COMING SOON** Yoga Philosophy 201: Buckle Up for a 25hr Deep Dive!

$495

The first time we offered this course, earlier this year, it was such a popular offering and well attended that we are offering it again starting July 8, and this time expanded from 20 hours to 25… still CE-accredited with Yoga Alliance. Hosted by Kintsugi Yoga in Las Vegas and live-streamed (and recorded) via Zoom, this course will take place twice a week for 12 sessions. Saturdays 3:30 - 5:30 and Mondays 5:30 - 7:30pm. All sessions will be available in-person in Las Vegas and real-time via Zoom, and recordings of all sessions (along with course materials) will be provided to all participants.

Are you interested in the theory, intentions, and history behind the practices of yoga that we love doing? Is yoga more to you than just physical movements, stretching and sweating? Join Paul as he guides an exploratory journey into the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of classical yoga, in a holistic sense, with the aim to understand yoga as a worldview. How can we use these ancient teachings to inform our daily actions and modify our lives for the better? Is it actually possible to reduce suffering while navigating this chaotic world? Is life fair? Do we truly have free will? The study of yoga philosophy gives us these answers and more. 

Texts for study will include:

  • Yoga Sutras of Patañjali

  • Bhagavad Gita

  • "Theosophy: An Introductory Study Course" by John Algeo

  • "A New Earth" and "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle

  • "Ancient Wisdom for a New Age" by Terry Hunt and Paul Benedict

  • "The Masters and The Path" by C.W. Leadbeater 

Additional topics of focus are:

  • How does karma operate in my life and what can I learn from it?

  • Is there an afterlife?

  • The nature of the human soul

  • The power of thought

  • The plan and purpose of physical existence

  • What is spirit?

  • Comparative religions and yoga

  • Developing clairvoyance

Saturday sessions are held in-person at Kintsugi Yoga in Las Vegas and Monday sessions are held at a private residence near Kintsugi. All sessions will streamed live via Zoom and recorded. Come with an open mind and the eagerness to shift perspectives and learn from the wise teachers of the past and present! This course is registered with Yoga Alliance as 25 hours of continuing education credits for accredited yoga teachers.

Join Paul Benedict on a journey through the theory and practice of Pranayama (breathwork) as an integral part of yoga. This workshop is both lecture and practice.

Topics that will be covered include: Pranayama and meditation methodologies and techniques, what is Prana and how can we use it to transform our lives, how to use Prana effectively during asana practice, the science of Nadis, Bandhas, and the etheric body and how to direct energy to achieve positive results.
