2. Yoga Sutras by Sri Swami Satchidananda: Purchase at Amazon or your local bookstore.
Who Can Attend?
Our training programs are appropriate for yoga practitioners of all levels, beginner to advanced. Many people do attend the trainings without intention to teach afterward but rather to deepen their own practice and knowledge of yoga. The RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) 200 hour Free Spirits Teacher Training Course is designed for those who are called to become yoga teacher, become yoga practitioner, step into our epic journey of soul, learn the tools and experience the gateways to release the things no longer serving us and claim our innate gifts and wisdom to serve our own journey and serve our beloved brothers and sisters on this planet earth.
Our graduates commonly report receiving much more than a yoga certificate from our program. It is often described as a life-changing experience that provides an opportunity for individuals to know themselves and a deep and lasting way.

Community
At Free Spirits Yoga, everyone is whole heartedly accepted and encouraged to be their authentic self. Our talented facilitator team works together to create and hold a space where participants feel safe and comfortable. We support the growth and expansion of people’s horizons — physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. As a group, a community, a tribe, and an extended family, we practice and learn to let go. We allow the world to unfold before us without reaction or judgment.
Our intention is to guide students through their own healing journey in order to better prepare them for healing others, letting go of anything that holds them back from what their hearts are truly called to. Together we unveil the essence, learning to taste the sweet nectar of life while maneuvering in the world with strength and grace.
Open yourself to what is there, leave all expectations behind and enter the enlightened perspective and sacred landscape of your training with an open heart – whatever comes will be exactly what you need.

5Rhythms Dance
1st and 3rd Sunday / Monthly 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM $20 drop-in Event Info
5Rhythms Dance (Check booking for correct dates) 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Free Spirits Yoga 2 S. Main st Sayville, NY 11782 Join us for a night of 5RHYTHMS Dance and movement with Certified Instructor Mark Bonder. Created by Gabrielle Roth, 5RHYTHMS is a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. There's no choreography, no steps to learn, only the freedom to move the way you feel! Welcome to the 5Rhythms® The Movement Practice of Gabrielle Roth What are the 5Rhythms? The 5Rhythms are a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in everybody, no matter what its shape, size, age, limitations and experience. To find your dance is to find yourself, at your most fluid and creative level. While the practice itself is the essence of simplicity, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression. The primary teaching of this work is: if you put the psyche in motion, it will heal itself. The five rhythms are flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. They come together to create the Wave, a movement meditation practice. Rather than having steps to follow, each rhythm is a different energy field in which you find your own expression and choreography, thereby stretching your imagination as well as your body. Each rhythm is a teacher and you can expect to meet different and sometimes unknown aspects of yourself as your dance unfolds and your practice of the rhythms deepens over time. What happens on the dance floor? In every class or workshop, there is always a wide range of experience in the 5Rhythms work, from first-timers to certified Wave addicts. In any given class, the teacher will be following the energy in the room. So, while the essential map is one of the rhythms, the teacher might take the class through the entire Wave or focus on just one rhythm or one facet of a rhythm. The rhythms themselves are gateways to literally thousands of different movement landscapes. Like the body, they are alive and designed to catalyze the dancer’s movement expression in the moment. You are different every time you walk in the room, so is the group and so is your teacher. Therefore, each class holds completely unique possibilities. Things to keep in mind • Enter in silence, and begin warming up your body. The warmup is your own time to unwind and arrive in the space. You can lay out on the floor and stretch, sit, crawl, roll around, or simply walk through the space if you like. * The 5Rhythms are a meditation in motion – it doesn't matter how you move, so long as you keep moving! * You are free to move at your own pace, and in whatever way feels good to you. * The 5Rhythms is a map for getting out of our heads, so we get away from words and practice silence – no talking or texting during the class – let your body speak! * Keep your eyes gently open, and be aware of the other bodies in the room. * We dance barefoot, or in dance shoes - no socks on the dance floor! * There may be stretches of time without instruction. Let the music lead you, and trust your body to move in the way it feels best. * Above all - have fun! ...Excessive seriousness may slow you down. |

Eldoa Workshop

ELDOA Workshop Saturday, February 8, 2020 2:00 PM - 3:15 PM Free Spirits Yoga 2 S. Main st Sayville, NY 11782 About ELDOA The ELDOA (translated to LOADS in English) are postural exercises that you can do yourself with the primary goal being to increase the space within a chosen joint. As the ELDOA “create” space, there is an improvement in joint mechanics, increased blood flow, reduced pressure on the discs, a reduction of pain, spinal disc rehydration, better muscle tone, improved posture, and a sense of well being and awareness. ELDOA Exercises ELDOA are postural self-normalizing techniques designed by world-renowned French osteopath, Dr. Guy Voyer for the purpose of widening the space within a chosen joint. This is accomplished by creating fascial tension to fix the vertebra below and contraction in extreme range to normalize the vertebra above the targeted disc. For example, it is possible -- in one minute a day -- to relieve disc compression between L4-L5 (one of the most common locations for disc bulges, protrusions, herniations, and degenerative disk disease). Dr. VOYER developed an ELDOA exercise for every joint in the spine, starting at the base of the skull and ending with the sacroiliac joint. Participant experience with ELDOA class I took a group ELDOA class with a personal trainer and ELDOA student practitioner in Pensacola, FL. The 45-minute session was a typical ELDOA for wellness class, with a mix of postures each held for 60 seconds. The basic postures were performed sitting, lying down, half-kneeling, or on all fours. The class didn't feel like cardio or strength training — or really like any workout I've done before. The closest thing I can compare it to is yoga, but only because ELDOA involves holding postures; otherwise, the similarities end there. The goal of ELDOA isn't to gain flexibility. "When you stretch, you are elongating a muscle, but when you do an ELDOA, you are contracting muscles, ELDOA works with the nervous system, rather than on muscle flexibility." |

Happy Hips Workshop with Sam $25 Saturday, December 7th, 2019 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM Free Spirits Yoga 2 S. Main st Sayville, NY 11782 About: In yogic tradition the hips are often referred to as the "junk drawer" of the body. Storing negative feelings and pent-up emotions, the hips are an epicenter for what once began with the heart. And so it is no coincidence that as we grow into adulthood, we start to loose the mobility we had as children. As the point of connection between the spine and the legs, the hips not only help to shift energy but also protect the back, improve circulation, enhance mobility, and promote positive range of motion. Join Sam Maracic for a Hip Opening Workshop, designed to help you release tension, make shifts, and create space! No yoga experience necessary. |

Come join us for a night of music, meditation and chanting! Kirtan with Prema Hara $20 donation Saturday, November 23, 2019 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Free Spirits Yoga 2 S. Main st Sayville, NY 11782 About Prema Hara: Awaken the fullness of your heart with this dynamic duo who have dedicated their lives to the love of Kirtan and living that joy with others! Attracted by Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotion, Kamaniya and Keshavacharya Das have spent many years living in ashrams, searching for the divine through devotional service and singing. Seeing the impact of chanting on people, they were inspired to commit their lives to sharing the universal spiritual practice of kirtan with the Western world. Known for her joyful expression, Kamaniya’s love for sacred chanting is apparent. As well as leading her own kirtan for the past decade, she has accompanied eminent devotional singers such as Shyamdas, Jai Uttal, Girish, Durga Das and Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits. Keshavacharya Das’ search for a deeper meaning to life led him to a little Indian town amongst shrines and sadhus, where kirtan became his life. For years as a monk his every breath was spent in meditating on and celebrating divine sound. He spent the last few years traveling across the USA performing kirtan at many yoga studios and retreat centers. Keshavacharya’s acclaimed debut album, Crying of the Soul, has become a favorite among many kirtan CD collections. |
