I am so excited to announce that Kinndli McCollum, a dear friend of mine and Master Baptiste Assistant will be leading a 2 hour practice on Sunday 9/14th from 11 am-1 at TYP Arlington.

I first met Kinndli while attending my Level I and II teacher trainings with Baron and have been blessed to work with and get to know her this year while assisting Baron at Bootcamps. Her infectious energy and beautiful presence are addicting!

Kinndli now travels with Baron to EVERY bootcamp and is definitely an integral component to the amazing Baptiste process. Kinndli teaches an invigorating yet playful class with focus on alignment, breath and intuition. She feels the combination of intense physicality, self examination and working up a good ole' fashion sweat creates the freedom to break through and out of old physical and emotional barriers. Come join us, you won't be sorry!

Please register ahead of time on-line for this one. Kinndli is well known throughout the Baptiste Community and we will have participants from other studios in the metroplex.

Cost: $20

When: Sunday September 14th from 11AM-1PM

Where: Arlington TYP

9/20 3:30 -6pm at TYP--The Art of Compassionate Touch

"Love is the most healing energy in the universe". Deepak Chopra

The Buddhist monks knew this, the Thai masters knew this and Yogis know this! We clear our minds and become present with our breath in preparation to channel the ancient wisdom of Metta - loving kindness. Thai massage lays the foundation of compassionate touch, receptivity and communication. The techniques learned on the floor will be taken to the air in the flying work. Flying can be a deeply transformational way to surrender to gravity and to the support of a partner, allowing unnecessary holdings to be released.

We will work in groups of 3 - base, flyer and spotter - to ensure safety and to encourage teamwork. The dance of giving and receiving will leave everyone in the room floating with gratitude. No partner necessary,intermediate yoga practice recommended and the openness to turn your world upside down!

Suggested Donation $35

Are you ready for a change? Would you like to open up to brand new possibilities in your life? How about a revolution? The purpose of this 40 day program is to lead you into your own personal revolution. You will lose weight if that is what needs to happen, you will become less reactive and more calm. This is not a diet plan but a cultivation of the inner self. You will start from the inside rather than the external. As we discover and change the inside, our outside comes into balance. This program is for ALL LEVELS--Beginners and Well seasoned practitioners alike!

MEETINGS

Weekly attendance at the 40 Days group meetings is essential for optimal results in the program.

YOGA PRACTICE

Students will commit to 6 days of practice per week during the 6 week program (the majority of your practices should be in the studio but can be supplemented with home practice), as well as daily meditation practice.

DIET

Each of the six weeks will focus on a weekly dietary awareness theme centered around discovering and practicing a vibrant new health for the physical body. The 4th week's practice includes a 3 day fruit cleanse

Why 40 days?

Because the number 40 has tremendous spiritual significance in the realm of transformation. Jesus wandered in the desert for 40 days in order to experience purification and come to a greater understanding of himself and his mission. Moses and his people traveled through the desert for 40 years before arriving at their home in the holy land. Noah sailed his ark for 40 days and 40 nights. In 40 days, you too can shift into a whole new way of being.

Program Includes:

40 days of unlimited yoga
"40 Days" book by Baron Baptiste
Weekly group meetings
Logs for keeping track of practice / diet / meditation
Before and after Pics - Optional
