✨Kriya Yoga Summer Trifecta with Gabriel Halpern (3-Part Series)

✨Thursdays July 11th, 18th, 25th 2024 • 11am-1:30pm

✨@ TBY YOGA: 1590 S MILWAUKEE AVE, STE 223, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048

✨This 3-week series covers the classical definition of Kriya Yoga (tapas, swadhyaya, and isvara pranidhana) where we will unpack the paths of action, study, and devotion as defined by The Yoga Sutras. Gabriel will articulate yoga philosophy through 3 of the sacred scriptures that have guided practitioners for centuries: the Upanishads, the Yoga Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita. Each class will begin with a dharma discourse to clarify the yogic path, followed by a well-thought-out sequence to energize and tranquilize your nervous system. Talk alone is not enough... see you on the mat!

✨Thank you, Rich Logan, for a fantastic weekend of learning and growing! Yoga practitioners spent over 12 hours diving deeper into yogic concepts for inner peace and well-being. Yoga philosophy, inverted poses, backbends, twisting poses, and restorative practices helped practitioners understand the mind/body/spirit connection and feel more balanced. (we also learned how to strike a dance pose for the camera 🤗😉).

✨Rich is a skilled and highly experienced master-level yoga teacher and brings a lighthearted sense of joy to all of his classes and trainings.

✨Look for more workshops in the fall. You can also catch him at TBY Yoga in his regular classes on Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings/afternoons. SIGN UP: www.tbyyoga.com

It integrates the body, mind, spirit, and soul, offering a holistic approach to health and well-being that brings peace to our hectic lives. Its power to transform is what we celebrate on this special day. (source: United Nations)

TBY Yoga

✨Yoga is for our well-being, to help us feel more content, to have a calmer mind, and to be light in our hearts.

✨What can you expect when you take a class at TBY Yoga? A light, bright, quiet place where you can practice feeling more at ease in body and mind -- and more peaceful. We practice yoga asana, breath awareness, breath work, and meditation -- and we also incorporate yogic principles.

✨While the overall goal of yoga is self-realization, we begin with body awareness and mindful movement, which guide practitioners through sensation and feeling. Every class is at least 75 minutes long. You can count on skillful instruction and teachers who share their knowledge and wisdom.

✨We love fostering a sense of community! ✨Please join us for a class or three 😀

✨FEATURED CLASSES:
Sunday, Rich Logan subs 8 am & 9:30 am!
Monday, Julia Jonson teaches 5:30 pm - Intermediate
Thursday, Lisa Brown teaches 6:00 pm - Basics

✨Metaphor is a beautiful thing! The lotus flower thrives and grows in murky pond water and is a timeless symbol of the hardships and challenges we must face. Much like the stem emerging through the muddy water, we also grow through our difficulties, learning lessons, removing obstacles, and overcoming adversities. As the petals unfold, we, too, unfold and become like a lotus rising from the murky waters and flowering into something beautiful.

✨The lotus seeds, containing perfectly formed leaves, symbolize our potential.
✨Its flexible stem symbolizes our resilience.
✨The lotus growth represents never giving up.
✨The blossom represents enlightenment, awareness, and beauty.
✨At night, the flower closes and sinks -- the next day, it emerges with the light representing cleansing and renewal.

✨A similar growth metaphor is that of the oyster with some sand lodged inside. The sand creates "difficulty" for the oyster, which in turn creates a gorgeous pearl. With the setback of dealing with the sand inside its shell, the oyster could never have created a beautiful thing.

🌟Move Into Meditation with Anitha Bellary, E-RYT 500

🌟 2-PART SERIES
🌟Saturday May 11, 2024 & 🌟Sunday May 19, 2024
🌟🌟🌟🌟11:00AM - 1:00PM @ TBY YOGA, 1590 S. MILWAUKEE AVE, STE. 223, LIBERTYVILLE, IL 60048🌟🌟🌟🌟

🌟Meditation practice is an art and discipline centered around focusing on a chosen object or higher ideal for a designated time. Through practice, we learn to observe our minds and the thoughts that arise, including distractions, daydreams, and bodily sensations. By observing the mind itself, the contents of the mind are revealed. When we know what’s there, we can redirect our mind and perhaps make it calmer.

🌟Anitha will delve into various tools drawn from spiritual traditions to aid in meditation. We explore simple asana (posture) practices to bring comfort to the body, utilize breath work to turn our awareness inward, employ chants to hone our attention to a single point, and finally, we’ll rest in the stillness of the mind.

🌟This framework provides an accessible pathway for gradually entering into a state of natural tranquility and connecting with our true selves (which is the goal of yoga!).

🌟A skilled yoga asana teacher will help students to notice patterns they hold in their bodies and help them to be aware! Afterall, our bodies give us information about what's going on with our minds and emotions. And sometimes it's easier to start by working on the body.

🌟While it might not be readily apparent to us, our mental health, emotions, and physical condition are all intimately connected. Neglect one of them, others will suffer. Care for all of them to feel stronger, healthier and happier.

🌟BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF AND ADOPT THE FOLLOWING LIFE HABITS - EVENTUALLY OVER TIME (You may already be doing these!)

* Adopt or continue a healthy, balanced diet which plays a major role, and staying hydrated is vital.
*Get moving. A brisk walk, a yoga class or your exercise of choice every day boosts mood!
*Develop strong connections with people, especially family and friends.
*Expand your mind: Express your creative side, stay curious, and pursue your passions.
*Do your best to be present. Give your full attention to whatever you’re doing at the given moment.
*Understand and feel your emotions for a deeper awareness of how they influence your behavior and well-being.

Being under chronic stress is a common consequence is adrenal fatigue. This condition shows up as a depletion of hormones that causes fatigue, body aches, low blood pressure, lightheadedness, and more.

⭐The 2023/2024 TBY Yoga Teacher Training group only has a few weekends of learning to go before they graduate. We had a great day recently learning about meditation with noble friend and teacher Venerable Bhante Sujatha. Looks like Valerie and Allie color-coordinated nicely with Bhante 😇 And, 2nd picture title possibility: "Julia's Angels?" 😉

⭐⭐⭐⭐BIG NEWS! Thank you to the community, our teachers, and those in our YTT programs for helping us to re-grow! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hi TBY Community,

We're thrilled to share some exciting news with you! TBY Yoga is moving into our very own studio space after two and a half years inside the Life Force Health Center. We're grateful for our time there, but it's time for us to have a place we can call our own. Our new studio is currently being remodeled and, if everything goes according to plan, we'll start hosting classes at the new location on Monday, April 1st!

We're happy to announce our new location at 1590 S. Milwaukee Ave. Suite 223 in Libertyville, right across from Trader Joe's inside the Hilltop Executive Center. Not only is this a prime spot, but it also makes it easy for you to access covered parking and gather in the lobby before and after class. This move gives us the autonomy to offer you even more special events and ways to help you learn and grow as a yoga student.

We're excited to share this next chapter with you and can't wait for you to experience our new space. Join us for our last day inside our current place on Sunday, March 31st, and then come see us at our new studio starting April 1st!

And, don't forget to check out our offerings below. Our favorites include regular classes with our awesome teachers including Rich Logan, meditation with Ty and Yoga Teacher Training. Happy browsing.

⭐Take good care of yourself! Carole Edmark's classes are there for you to learn and grow as a student of yoga. Carole's a beloved teacher on the schedule - and she's co-developer of our comprehensive Intro to Yoga program (coming back in the fall!)

⭐A little about Carole's teaching: To her, yoga is about making space: space in our joints, space between our vertebrae, space in our hearts, and space in our minds.

Carole is passionate about making yoga accessible to every body–regardless of age, size, shape, or ability. Carole encourages students to start where they are and enjoy making slow, steady progress with consistent practice. In her classes, you can expect mindful meditation, breath work, asana practice and savasana. The goal is to get a little more comfortable with the uncomfortable, and to feel great when finished.

⭐Calm Your Mind with Meditation withTyadg McGauley

⭐Saturday March 23, 2024
⭐Saturday March 30, 2024
⭐11:00AM - 12:30PM @ TBY YOGA, 450 N SEYMOUR AVE, MUNDELEIN, IL 60060

⭐Build a healthy habit of cultivating stillness and self-awareness through meditation. In this 2-part experience, you will learn proper body positions and breathing techniques. Also, explore the concepts of love and forgiveness, unconditional love, the chakras, mantras, and much more! By the end of the third session, you will feel comfortable developing your home sadhana (spiritual practice) and sticking with it. We strongly recommend attending both sessions, but you may also attend just one.

⭐Tyadg is a former professional hockey player who was introduced to meditation through Sports Psychology at a young age. This practice ended up changing the course of his life to the point where he retired mid-career to live in an ashram in Northern Canada. He has since worked with and taught meditation to various groups including at-risk youth, Indigenous Nations, professional hockey players, and other high-level athletes. Tyadg has a lot of experience teaching raw beginners from all walks of life as well as experienced meditators looking to deepen their practice.

⭐ Deepen Knowledge, Gain Wisdom While Becoming a Light for Others

⭐Yoga provides us with an opportunity to get to know ourselves from the inside out. So when someone says YES to embarking on training, they open up a whole new path of learning and growth for themselves. YTT is an opportunity to work through self-limiting beliefs and build confidence. It’s an opportunity to awaken the higher Self and shine like never before. And importantly, it’s an opportunity to guide others in their own journey of self discovery and help make a real difference in the world.

⭐Join Julia & Sally together in October, 2024!

☀️🌙What if...

☀️🌙 We knew that we really were all connected? Quantum mechanics or the study of the micro-world states illustrates that what we think of reality is not so. Our human brains trick us into believing in the idea of separation when in truth, nothing is truly separated —including human beings.

☀️🌙 Our yoga spiritual discipline teaches us the same thing! Based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living that ultimately leads to freedom from suffering.

☀️🌙 Let's breathe, move, be still and train our minds to be calm so that we can FEEL the common bonds we have with fellow humans -- instead of causing more separation.

✨HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY. LET'S CELEBRATE THE HEART 💟

✨Abhaya Hridaya Mudra (*pictured) is a symbolic gesture that empowers practitioners to find the courage to follow their hearts. Sanskrit for "fearless heart seal" this mudra can be called upon in difficult times. Abhaya Hridaya Mudra helps to eliminate fear and ignite courage, reminding students of their inner power. It's an empowering gesture, drawing forward the strength of one's true nature. (Goal of yoga: to understand one's true nature!)

✨DID YOU KNOW? The heart weighs between 9 and 12 ounces (250 and 350 grams). The heart beats about 100,000 times daily (about three billion beats in a lifetime). An adult's heart beats about 60 to 80 times per minute.
