Workshop hosted by Jane's House of Wellbeing
and Big Bend Yoga Center.
A weekend exploring earth, water, fire, air, and space in the context of yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, and contemplation. In yoga we are stripping ourselves bare...we are simply - as is everything - a joyous blend of elements. By focusing on the elements, we can access this essence of being and the power of cultivating harmony and balance within. To lead an elemental life is to honor our relationship to all other beings and to become intimate to that which moves us more deeply than our harried, 24-7 world. Each session we will use one of the elements as a focal point for practice. Most sessions will begin and end with a short meditation. The workshop is suitable for a wide variety of practitioners and particularly of interest to those who wish to move more from the inside to the outside and let go of systems of practice that restrict their inherent and unique ease.
About the Instructor:
Mary Paffard has been a practitioner of yoga since the early 70's and teaching nationally and internationally since 1985. Her original training was in the Iyengar world but she considers her main source of inspiration to be meditation and the natural world. Mary was Director of Teacher Training at Yoga Mendocino in California from 2000 to 2010; she has developed and contributed to many teachers' programs and currently teaches one in Spanish in Central America. Mary uses the chakras, belly, and poetic imagery to cultivate the inner guru in herself and her students.

Private Classes are tailored to meet personal needs and can take the serious practitioner to a deeper awareness of his own potential, and is the classical means of transmitting teacher knowledge to student. For those with therapeutic considerations, private classes can stimulate a new appreciation of one's abilities, while accepting and honoring limitations. Locations can be at a nearby studio or in the home. Call 314.614.3187 or e-mail to schedule an appointment.
Workshops & Seminars for C.E.U.’s often taught with other professional instructors, are intended to give students in-depth and focused information on particular aspects of Hatha Yoga. WellSpring has offered a number of three-hour workshops on such topics as Partner Yoga, Advancing Your Practice Using Breath, Bandhas, and Driste, and Restorative Yoga for Women. Other seminars such as How to Teach Inversions, Anatomy & Physiology for Yoga, and Teaching Chair & Restorative Yoga are designed for teachers to gain C.E.U.'s, give new instructors opportunities to learn practical aspects of teaching postures, and tips on how to handle special concerns.
Teacher Mentoring Program and Continuing Education: WellSpring Yoga is able to provide quality training for teachers who wish to enhance their skills and deepen their understanding of what it means to be a teacher. WellSpring provides mentoring for beginning teachers to explore and expand their capacities as teachers, and to focus on particular teaching methodologies. Observation, suggested reading and writing assignments, as well as practice teaching and assisting are part of this course work. The mentoring program offers teachers an opportunity for small group or one-on-one discussion, and the mentoree can focus on particular aspects of teaching on which they wish to work. This is truly a way to invite excellence as a teacher and to keep the practice of teaching yoga at as high a level of professional standards as possible. To inquire further, please contact WellSpring.
Adaptive Yoga Classes WellSpring Yoga offers classes which bring the benefits of yoga postures and movement, breathing techniques and meditation to folks in with special needs. Lucy Holmes has co-taught Adaptive Yoga with Donna Greenberg at St. Louis Society for the Disabled, and volunteers weekly at Benedictine Joseph Labre Center, www.ppcsinc.org, a rehab facility for men in recovery from mental illness and alcohol/chemical dependency.
