"Achieving Overflowing Abundance" by
Bentinho (Ben-teen-yo) Massaro
 
Bentinho Massaro started teaching when he was 18, and has since held meetings and retreats in many cities in Europe and North America. He is now 26, and over the years, his teachings have evolved and deepened. He continues to refine and focus his work, with a goal to reach people from every walk of life, building a bridge to Enlightenment and self-empowerment for the “average Joe,” not just those already in the spiritual community.

Kundalini Yoga and Qigong Workshops
with
Rick Powell 
Saturday March 28th from
3:00 - 5:00pm
at
Vishnu’s Couch Yoga Studio
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor, Binghamton NY
     
 Kundalini Power of the Breath (1hr.):  This workshop is a comprehensive 20-30 minute practice of Pranayams, which are Yogic breathing techniques that naturally transition into meditation.  These exercises impart great health, mental, and spiritual benefits when practiced regularly.  We will then spend the 20 minutes exploring specific Pranayam meditations from Kundalini Yoga, followed by questions and answers.  This workshop is suitable for all levels including beginners.

Easy, effective Qigong (1hr. 15 min)  This is a workshop to improve health, happiness, peace of mind, energy, and spiritual cultivation.  We will learn to open all the chakras and meridians for healthy energy flow to facilitate longevity, overall well-being, and spiritual advancement.  We will place special emphasis on organ detoxification which also improves your emotional outlook and balance.

Both of the above workshops include meditation.  I will also discuss advanced body mechanics to improve any Tai-Chi style.

 Cost: $15.00 per session or $25.00 for both
 Space is limited, so please call Edmond @ 232-6410 to register.

-----------Other Local Events---------

Raja Yoga Class and Satsang
Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through: 
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.
