PRIMORDIAL MEDITATION with SHELLEY TOMCZYK
A 3-hour Experiential Workshop
This three-hour practice is offered in quiet acknowledgement of Hanuman Jayanti, a day in the Eastern tradition that honors Hanuman—not as an object of worship or borrowed ritual, but as an archetype of awakened vitality, disciplined devotion, and the subtle intelligence that links breath, body, and awareness.
In the mythology, Hanuman’s shapeshifting is not mere legend but an expression of an innate human capacity: the movement from the vast stillness of Shiva-consciousness into embodied presence in service of the heart. His journey to find Sita and create relationship with Ram is the call to enter that heart-space, and from there to discover the hidden cave of the Goddess—the place of living Shakti.
Primordial Meditation follows a parallel stream found in the ancient Western world: a deliberate withdrawal, a laying down, a relinquishing of effort so that deeper knowing may arise. As Peter Kingsley reminds us, “In the ancient world, philosophy was a way of life.” In the tradition of Parmenides, this meant incubation—entering stillness not to think, but to receive.
One “lies down” as if in a cave or temple, allowing the surface mind to yield. In this giving up, attention reorganizes itself, and something older than thought begins to speak.
This workshop is a preparation for that inner shapeshifting to arise naturally, allowing each participant to enter their own chamber of attention. In states of profound rest and letting go, medicine, insight, or necessary guidance may emerge.
Drawing from both Eastern and Western wisdom traditions, the practice rests on a simple recognition: the body knows.
Everyone is welcome. Expect a dynamic, shape-shifting asana and pranayama practice before a long meditation.

A 3 Day Workshop for yoga teachers and students alike.
June 5-7, 2026
Spend 3 days with Clara going over how she puts together creative, integrated and accessible vinyasa yoga classes. Based on Shiva Rea’s Wave Theory, this workshop will dissect how to create vinyasa classes based on “peak poses” as well as on Bhav (feeling, mood). There will be a two hour practice and then discussion. We will go over vinyasa krama (steps) for more intermediate/advanced poses to offer in open level classes.
Friday- 1:30-5pm
Introduction to Wave Theory
We'll go over: what is wave theory, what makes a peak pose, going over the 5 families of poses. We'll create a one hour class together. The day will end with a 1 hour practice to experience the class.
Saturday & Sunday 1:30 - 5pm
We'll start with a 2 hour vinyasa practice working towards a peak pose with many modifications along the way to demonstrate the many ways we can make the poses accessible to the diverse bodies that come to yoga. After we'll go over the class and there will be an opportunity to ask any questions.
Saturday we'll continue sequencing based on peak pose. Also covered will be how to counter and neutralize the body in the floor series.
Sunday we'll go into creating classes based on a philosophical theme and how to weave that into a peak pose based class.

PRANAYAMA: Breath as Medicine with DANI BEAR (HÉBERT)
An 8-Hour Training for Teachers, Therapists & Facilitators
Pranayama is more than breath control—it is a direct pathway to the nervous system, the mind, and the subtle body. When applied skillfully, it becomes a powerful tool for cultivating emotional regulation, mental clarity, and inner steadiness.

We will also examine pranayama within the broader context of the 8-limbed system of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, offering insight into its role and purpose within a complete yoga practice. Blending traditional yogic wisdom with modern scientific understanding, this training offers a grounded and experiential approach to breath as medicine.
What to Expect
• Foundational principles of pranayama within the 8-limb system
• The relationship between breath, the nervous system, and mental health
• Core pranayama techniques and their safe, effective application
• How to adapt and prescribe breath practices for different individuals and needs
• The integration of chanting, gentle preparatory asana, and meditation
What You’ll Receive
• 8 hours of Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage-based training

• Certificate of Completion from One Yoga
• Guided practices and integration tools for personal and professional application
