Workshops

Each day Charles will give at least one workshop, sometimes two, on a variety of topics related to, and drawn from Yoga & Meditation. These workshops include:

  • Improving Concentration;
  • The Art of Sense-Withdrawal;
  • Science and Mystery of Breath;
  • The Mind/Body Connection;
  • Creative Visualization;
  • Discussion of the Yamas & Niyamas;
  • The Mind/Body Writing Meditation,
  • Improving Balance
  • The Seven Chakras& Kundalini Awakening
  • Chanting & Mantra
  • Creative Writing

These are all highly developed workshops that Charles has been presenting for over 12 years to Universities, conferences, and corporations like 3M, IBM, and Apple, and the workshops are supported by handouts and mind maps that he has developed over the years.

For retreats, Charles customizes each topic to address how to use these skills to improve your practice of Yoga, as well as other areas of your life. All of his workshops are highly experiential, informative, and fun. For more information about these topics click here, or if you prefer, you can visit his business web-page at http://www.expandingparadigms.com.

There are also opportunities for guest teachers who have areas of expertise related to yoga to lead a workshop. The schedule is kept flexible so that we can take advantage of chance encounters where we have to opportunity to invite musicians to join us for an evening of music, or a historian to talk about the history of the valley, and the ancient Indians who used to live here, or ...? On Several retreats we have run into and befriended yoga teachers who happen to be vacationing in Yelapa who have shared their experience and ideas with us as well.

The pictures above are taken from the February 2000 retreat at Los Naranjos. Groups usually decide to meet out doors, but occasionally choose to use the living room area of Los Naranjos instead, especially in the evenings if better lighting is required.

In addition to the workshops listed above, Charles also teaches a mind-mapping workshop for those interested in learning. Charles has been teaching this skill to teachers, universities, and businesses for about 9 years. In every retreat there is always at least one person who later says that this was the most important and useful skill that they acquired during the retreat. Below is an example of a mind-map, this one on the topic of how to Mind-Map!

As with the yoga classes and the meditation sessions, all workshops are optional, and often students choose to use this time to explore, or take a nap in a hammock.
