Samudra Shakti
2019 USA Anusara Yoga Teacher’s Gathering
September 15-19, Estees Park, CO
Samudra Shakti acknowledges that the seat of the teacher must move around the room, must continually shift, to those who take up their own gifts, who show cultivation and whose self-empowerment invites the seat of the community.
This much more woven notion, where the hierarchy shifts authority to the community, requires new skills and a deeper involvement as we regard ourselves as holders of the immensely sophisticated system of Anusara Yoga.
Samudra Shakti is calling all licensed teachers to carry our mastery attained from our commitment to studentship, into the space of this gathering. By covering subjects from practice and teaching skills to professional development and beyond, Samudra Shakti is the weaving of our talents and gifts as a collective authority. Bring your passion, raise your voice and connect with the kula of the heart.

Salt Cave Meditation Evening
With Jackie Owen, Friday, September 20 7:00 – 8:00 PM
This workshop will take place at Salt of the Earth 811 Chestnut Ridge Rd, Chestnut Ridge, NY
$50
Join Jackie at Salt of the Earth for a deeply healing and restful Salt Cave and guided Meditation experience. At Salt of the Earth, you are surrounded by thousands of pounds of pink Himalayan salt on the walls and floor. A generator crushes additional salt into micron sized particles and disperses it throughout the salt cave air. Breathing in the micron-sized salt particles stimulates an anti-inflammatory response, reducing irritated airways and thinning mucus in the bronchial tubes and lungs. The Salt therapy will be combined with deeper yogic breathing to enhance the benefits and a guided body scan meditation and yoga nidra, led by Jackie Owen. You will have the option of spending the hour:
- Reclining in an anti-gravity chair
- lying on the salt
- Or, with your legs up the salt walls
Blankets and bolster provided. You don’t need a yoga mat. No prior yoga or meditation experience needed. Limited to 10 participants. We will meet at the Salt Cave in Chestnut Ridge at 6:45 for our 7:00 start. The doors will be closed at 7:00 sharp.
Learn Sacred Mantras and Bhajans
With Chaya Spencer Saturday September 28 2:00 – 4:00 pm

Sacred chants and mantras are part of the greater yoga tradition. The words and sounds carry a power to inspire us and draw us inside. They are a fast track to inner experience and connection. Join Chaya to learn several mantras including the meanings and accurate pronunciation. We’ll also learn how to sing a bhajan, or sung devotional poem, in either Hindi or Marathi. These devotional poems bring a sweetness and beauty with them. Chaya learned how to read and write Sanskrit while living in India as a teen. She has a large repertoire of devotional sung poems she has performed for audiences large and small in India and at home in the US.
This workshop is open to all. No yoga experience needed. Great for yoga teachers who would like to add mantras into their classes. No, you don’t have to be able to “sing”. Words will be provided.
