About the Yoga for Happiness Weekend Workshop
Join from anywhere! In-Studio & Virtual option available.
Happiness seems in short supply these days. Whatever happiness we experience seems to be short-lived and dies out quickly, covered in dust by a cloud of negativity. All day long we are bombarded by catastrophic news media that’s enough to bring anyone down. What’s a yogi to do?
We can all make a difference by making ourselves happier. When you feel happy, your frequency speeds up. Negative thinking, pessimism, doubt, unworthiness, anxiety, and all kinds of self-limiting thought forms disappear. When you are happy, you literally raise the vibrational field around you. When you’re happy, everyone gets happier around you.
Join master yogi, founder, and internationally acclaimed teacher, Todd Norian, as he guides you step-by-step into the life-affirming philosophy and practices that awaken your potential for unlimited joy.
By attending this weekend workshop, you will:
✔︎ Expand your happiness through the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and sky) using The Four Essentials™ of Ashaya Yoga
✔︎ Explore the empowering and spiritually uplifting philosophy of Nondual Tantra
✔︎ Build inner strength, balance, and flexibility with alignment-based, therapeutic asana
✔︎ Quiet the mind and cultivate inner peace through meditation, chanting, relaxation, and Yoga Nidra
✔︎ Receive hands-on adjustments to improve your alignment and go deeper
✔︎ Enjoy Todd’s music and chanting of mantras and invocations throughout the weekend
Practice alongside a supportive community of other heart followers who are ready and eager to increase their happiness. By the end of the weekend, you’ll have a renewed sense of unlimited happiness and the enthusiasm to bring more joy into the world.
Ashaya Yoga is an accessible, therapeutic, and safe practice for all levels of beginners to advanced yogis. Modifications are given and you’re encouraged to go at your own pace.
Weekend Schedule
● Friday 7-9 p.m. Happiness as Vast as the Sky (A la carte: $60+hst)
Open the sky element of happiness. Happiness has no upper limit. Akasha, Sanskrit for space or sky, is the highest and most subtle of the five elements. We live within this vast and unbounded freedom of the sky that is filled with all possibilities. Practice includes poses that open the heart, legs, hips, and back, along with a restorative pose, mantra chanting, meditation, and a deep guided relaxation.
● Saturday 10-1230 p.m. Happy Earth: Become Steady in Who You Are (A la carte: $75+hst)
Engage the earth element of happiness. Prithvi, Sanskrit for earth, is the most solid and stable of the five elements. Happiness in earth requires you to stay present and steady even in conflict. Practice includes enlivening standing poses, balancing poses, core strengtheners, backbends, and relaxation.
● Saturday, 2-430 p.m. The Water and Fire of Happiness: Surf the Waves of What You Truly Desire (A la carte: $75+hst)
Align the water and fire elements of happiness. Ap, Sanskrit for water, and Agni, Sanskrit for fire, interweave to form a powerful braid of acceptance, constant practice, and transformation. Water flows around obstacles and returns to source. Fire boils the water, heats and purifies the body, and represents our longing for freedom. Happiness arises when your water and fire elements are in balance. Practice includes hip openers, core strengtheners, leg stretches, forward bends, twists, and a deep Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) guided relaxation.
● Sunday 10-1 p.m. The Heart of Happiness: Breathe Your Dreams into Reality (A la carte: $85+hst)
Expand the air element of happiness. Vayu, Sanskrit for air, is your capacity to expand beyond previously held limits and release what no longer serves you. Your breath is the medium between your dreams on the inside and the manifestation on the outside. Powerful beyond measure, you are worthy of a great life beyond your wildest imagination. Practice includes up-tempo warmups, standing poses, core work, hip openers, backbends, twists, a deep relaxation to integrate all five elements, mantra chanting, and group sharing.
