Renewal

"It's not the life that matters, it's the courage that you bring to it."

- Yogi Bhajan


Dear Awareness Center Family,

April is a time of renewal. This weekend we mark the time of Easter with renowned author and healer David Elliot. I attended his first healer training programs several years ago and highly recommend him as a healer and teacher. Please take this opportunity to experience his grounded wisdom and healing gifts.

Our Grand Re-Opening Celebration will be held on April 21st with special discounts, free classes, refreshments and a “yogi bazaar” all day. Guru Darshan will be brewing up “Golden Milk” and we will have other tasty treats available. We will close the evening with an incredible concert by Larisa Stow and Shakti Tribe at 8pm. They have been rocking the spiritual circuit for a few years now and will have you chanting, dancing and in a blissful state of peace by the end of the night. Please celebrate the Grand Opening day with us, and let us thank you for being our loyal students all these years.

Sat Nam and With Deep Gratitude,
Wahe Guru Kaur and “Team Awareness” (AC Staff and Teachers)

FEATURED TEACHER: RICK COLELLA

Rick Colella has been a part of the yoga and meditation community for 13 years with 8 years of teaching experience in many of the top yoga studios in Los Angeles. The transformation of his own life through Yoga and Meditation has uniquely focused his ability to teach his students practical life skills that they can use on and off the mat. He was trained by Shinzen Young as a meditation facilitator for Vipassana Support International and is the founder and former owner of the Insight Yoga studio in Pasadena, CA. He has spent the last 7 years developing the practice of Insight Yoga.

Insight Yoga is a moving meditation where we develop deep concentration and apply it to becoming specifically aware of the body while doing hatha yoga postures. By exploring different locations of sensations in the body, different types of physical and emotional sensations, and different aspects of sensation, we transform consciousness and become much more present and deeply relaxed.

Insight Yoga is taught as a guided meditation during a Vinyasa/Flow Hatha Yoga practice which increases endurance, balance, strength, flexibility, and enhances health and vitality. Beginners who are in good physical condition are welcome. This vigorous style of hatha yoga is perfectly suited to those who are interested in a good workout as well as a deep form of meditation.

Rick teaches Insight Yoga on Wed. and Fri. from 4:30-6:00pm and Sundays from 11:00-12:30pm. (By Donation)
