Yoga Nidra
Opening the potential of the mind

Full day workshop
Sunday, May 6th 2007
9:00 am – 4:00 pm $75.00
Registration: http://www.whistlerwellness.com 

The workshop introduces the mechanics of breathing and its relation to the automatic relaxation response. The interactive format with simple and progressive exercises allows even the beginner to understand the dynamic of the breath and its application for stress reduction. The workshop continues with an examination of the differing states of mind in relation to daily activities and stages of personal development. This provides the opportunity for the participant to understand the imprints (samskaras) formed upon the unconscious mind. Upon reaching this understanding the use of positive intention (sankalpa) within the meditative state to reprogram the conscious mind is used to improve one’s lifestyle, remove negative blocks, habits and mental conflicts. The workshop explores the body – mind – spirit connection to optimize personal growth and in effect remodel one’s life.

T. S. (Tim) White, a two-spirited person of aboriginal and European heritage, was born in Newfoundland. His life’s search and study consists of the intertwining concepts of mind, body and spirit. This has led him as far as professional study with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet of Canada; Yoga, group exercise, personal training and instruction from Toronto to Frankfurt, Germany and Reiki master level training in Perthshire, Scotland.

Tim has developed a lifestyle approach to educate and illustrate the connection of the physical body through the complexities of the mind to the source of the spirit. The program is based on over 25 years of international experience and training in dance, group exercise, personal training, Yoga, Pilates and a journey of the spirit. His joy is sharing with others this experience as they travel their path searching for ‘The Serene Way’.
