5pm-7pm	Yogic Arts Duncan Wong. Date : 2008-08-31 Duration : 5pm - 7pm Description : Yogic Arts Workshop with Duncan Wong Growing up with backyard martial arts and the realness of street fighting, juxtaposed with the influence of my grandfather's Gung-Fu practice and incense burning rituals, and formal dojang [Korean martial arts school] training; with my Buddhist master, in San Francisco's Chinatown and Japan Town, I was never a stranger to the intuitive reflexes and highs associated with physicality. These early memories and experiences led me to my own life-long pursuit of the dynamic practices of Astanga Vinyasa [eight limbs of flowing motion] yoga and Kuk Sool Won [traditional Korean Buddhist] martial arts. Integrating this form of sacred touch was the necessary element that supported the development of the Yogic Arts system into its current form, which is the ongoing expression of my life's work. This practice will introduce all physical enthusiasts to the awareness and conditioning of their bandhas [core muscular areas of the pelvic floor, inner thighs and the abdominal trunk of the transverse abdominus]. Utilizing movement from this central location in the body ups the game for people desiring to enhance and eventually master their ability to not tear the rice-paper, or wear out their bodies when practicing jump-backs and jump-throughs during time spent on the mat. Cost per Ticket : $50 Ticket QTY. :	Duncan Wong	$50	Please buy tickets onsite

7pm-8pm	FREE Lecture Gurudev Shri Amritji (Yogi Amrit Desai) . Date : 2008-08-31 Duration : 7pm - 8pm Description : Gurudev Shri Amritji (Yogi Amrit Desai) is an internationally recognized authority on yoga and holistic living. Widely acknowledged for carrying the authentic voice of yoga to the world, he has been honored both in the U.S. and abroad. Some of his distinguished titles include Doctor of Yoga, Jagadacharya (Universal Teacher), and the rare Vishwa Yoga Ratna, awarded by the President of India. Yogi Desai began teaching yoga in 1960, making him one of the earliest pioneers of yoga in the West. Following a profound life-transforming Kundalini awakening, he developed a methodology that altered the popular notion of yoga as a physical discipline and reintroduced a spiritual dimension to the practice of Hatha Yoga. He named this approach Kripalu Yoga: Meditation in Motion, in honor of his guru, Swami Kripalvanandji. The yoga society Yogi Desai founded eventually grew to become Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, one of the largest centers of its kind in America. The methodology he developed has evolved into the Amrit Method, which he continues to refine. Today, his approach is practiced by thousands around the world, with certified teachers in 37 countries. Yogi Desai continues to develop and teach his innovative approach in the form of Amrit Yoga. A prolific author, his books include Kripalu Yoga: Book I and II, A Yogic Perspective on the 12 Steps and Amrit Yoga. As well, his chanting has been captured on Ecstatic Chanting, a compact disc of high energy chants. Yogi Desai's teachings contain a powerful experiential component that creates profound shifts for those who are ready, receptive and open. He has integrated ancient wisdom into an impactful, practical methodology for dealing with the challenges of modern life.
