January 14, 2012 - Seva Yoga (FREE Community Class)
Powerflow holds Community classes (Seva Yoga) once a month. Along with being our chance to give back to the community by offering a free class, it is also our opportunity to hold teaching interviews for those interested in teaching at Powerflow. Please contact Jerry at info@powerflownj.com to set up a date to teach a Seva class as part of your interview process to become part of the Powerflow teaching family.
Already scheduled Seva Classes: February 18, 4pm (proceeds going to Africa Yoga Project www.africayogaproject.org)
Seva yoga is usually described as selfless service to others. Seva is an expression of compassion, of the desire to uplift and assist people. In that spirit, each of the classes will be a donation-based vinyasa class which will benefit a different local charity.

February 25, 2012 - Ashtanga Yoga Vinyasa Workshop
Practical Discussion & Led Primary Series Practice with Deb Williams. February 25, 2-5pm. $35 due day of. Cash or check only.
DISCOVER THE ESSENTIALS OF PRACTICING ASHTANGA YOGA: This workshop style class will explore the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga. From the first inhale to the last exhale, find out what gives life to the practice, our breath! When applied to the series, our breath is our body's fuel, creating internal heat and keeping us safe from injury. We will explore the vinyasa system of Ashtanga and will make the transitions attainable for everyone. We will work on what it means to move with the breath, work on engaging the core muscles (bandhas) in every position and bring attention to the gazing point (drishti) to strengthen the mind. Class is for all levels and modifications will be shown. First part of the class will be instructional with discussion and questions with a led class following. Come prepared to practice and experience the sequence as it is traditionally taught.
Deb discovered yoga in 2001 and was introduced to Ashtanga in 2004. She has a dedicated Ashtanga practice and is truly grateful every day she steps on the mat for this rich and traditional system. She has learned to truly trust the system and is continually learning and discovering through her personal practice. Much of what she discovers is thru teaching and she is enthusiastic in sharing her experiences with students. She aspires to stay in the moment, trust in the universe, to work the yoga in her life on and off the mat and to breathe.
She and her partner Charles Secallus own and operate Asana House, a juice bar yoga lounge in Montclair, NJ. For more information please see www.asanahouse.com or www.ashtangayogamontclair.com .
