The ancient sages and modern scientists have known that the world is
energy in vibration. Nada (sound) yoga, mantra and japa are powerful
tools to enable us to quickly and powerfully experience peace and joy
in our inner and outer worlds through the power of vibration.
As with most powerful tools, clear instruction can make the difference
as to whether one experiences the full benefits. In this relaxing,
rejuvenating evening, Gina Sala (who has been chanting mantra for over
30 years) welcomes all, offering simple and effective nada yoga
techniques to help us open to and experience and power of vibrations
in our physical and energetic bodies. She will guide us in specific
mantras (focusing on shanti and tantric mantra) and tonification of
the chakras through sound. With patience and warmth, she offers
precise and clear instruction on pronunciation to ensure that
participants can experience the full benefit of the mantra. Gina Sala
teaches from a tantric approach, inviting us to allow our full
humanity to be welcomed in our spiritual practices- including the
natural tendencies of the personality. In this welcoming, we
experience integration, peace and love. No particular belief system is
needed, only a willingness to open to grace. With her clear guidance,
Gina again offers us transformative tools for a delicious life, and
an opportunity to directly experience that “the world is sound and we
are free”. All are blessed.

YOGA AID CHALLENGE FOR CHARITY
SEVA (selfless service) is at the heart of the ancient practice of Yoga.
We all know that the good seeds we plant in helping and serving others
come back to us multiplied in magical ways. Many people say they want
to help and practice Karma Yoga, but they don’t know how or where to
start. Finally, here is your chance to be a part of an amazing charity
yoga event to support children with terminal illnesses and their
families in Japan.
Yoga Aid Challenge is pleased to announce its first Japan event.
The two-hour event will be held on November 9th from 9:30-11:30 at
Pacifico Yokohama. The sun salutations are led by 12 teachers. In
Hong Kong, YogaAid salutations were led by John Friend, David Swenson,
Brian Kest, Duncan Wong and Ken Harakuma, among others. In Tokyo, Leza
is going to be one of the teachers leading the salutations and
practicing them along with everyone else. I’ve pledged the support of
Sun and Moon, so let’s all *get off our butts* and rise to this
challenge to plant seeds of hope and love for these children and their
families!
Even if you can’t attend or do the entire 108 salutations, you can
contribute or come and support and do what you can.
The two-hour event will be held on November 9th in Yokohama at Pacifico
Yokohama. The concept is very simple-each participant
pays a 3,000 yen registration fee and then performs 108 sun salutations at
the event. All the registration fees are donated to charity.
Leza will be be one of the 12 teachers leading the salutations
and practicing them along with everyone else. I’ve pledged the support
of Sun and Moon, so let’s all rise to this challenge to plant seeds of
hope and love for these children and their families! Even if you can’t
attend or do the entire 108 salutations, you can contribute or come and
support and do what you can. There is room for 300 people, so come and
bring a friend and let the sun shine.
It’s the first time this charity event has been offered in Japan and
through yoga, money is being raised for a charity that grants kids with
terminal illnesses and their families a dream day in Tokyo–many choose
Disneyland. The charity they are supporting is called A Dream a Day in
Tokyo and the non-profit’s website is: http://www.guesthouse.or.jp

Qigong for Relaxation, Flexibility and Strength.
A Living Shizen workshop with Shivani-Sarah.
Saturday October 25, 6:00-8:30pm (Sequence One)
Sunday, October 26, 7:00-9:00pm (Sequence Two)
Are you looking for an energetic but relaxing way to move your body?
Would you like to balance a high-paced yoga or exercise program with a
slower and softer approach?
Would you like more flexibility, strength and calm state of mind?
If yes, then come and try Qigong!
Qigong (pronounced chee gong), means”Life energy skills.” In the west, it
is often referred to as Taoist yoga. It is a Chinese system of exercises,
breathing techniques, and meditations that allow you to access the
benefits of “Life energy,” called qi (or prana by Indian Yogis). Qigong
has a similar philosophy to Yoga, but the movements are noticeably
different– softer and rounder. Qigong is a moving meditation-a graceful
dance of movements that make your feel like you are floating in the air.
Traditional Chinese medicine holds that energizing the body through Qigong
promotes health, vitality and increases longevity.
Modern research has found that long-term practice tends to strengthen
the immune system, prevent disease, heal pain, protect joints and
ligaments, and even promote happiness.
Shivani can testify from experience that this is true, and one of her
passions is sharing the health benefits of Qigong with others. In this
Sun and Moon Workshop she will teach Wu Ji Gong (or “Enlighenment Qi
Gong” as renamed by her teacher Andrew Fretwell.) It is a 3-minute
sequence of conscious, gentle, and easy-to-do movements. It is divided
into two sessions- Earth Energy and Heaven Energy. Both sections move in
a circle facing the 4 directions of the compass and are repeated four
times. The movements focus on moving energy through the main energy
channels of the spine, fingers and hands.
Shivani says: “Wu Ji Gong is very simple but very powerful. With daily
practice, you can restore an optimum level of water, blood and lymph
circulation in the body. You can generate a high level of energy and
relaxed state of being. It makes you feel wonderful. I always feel like
I am a feather dancing peacefully in the wind. You need little space to
practice and you can even receive health benefits from doing it sitting
or lying down. I will teach the fundamental principles of Qigong, so no
knowledge of Qigong is necessary. Those with little or no fitness can
rest assured that the content is easy to understand and do. I also
highly recommend people who practice Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga or exercise
regime that focuses on the cardio and muscular systems, to try this
program and discover the energy benefits of slower and deeper movements.
I practice Wu Ji Gong before and after my musical stage performances
and this prevents muscle soreness and refreshes my whole being. Wu Ji
Gong is a magical mix of soft and rhythmical movements that awaken inner
strength, flexibility and beauty. It has changed my life in such a
positive way.”
The workshop will be in Japanese and English by Shivani-Sarah.
Register early to ensure a spot! People who can participate in both
Saturday and Sunday night sessions will be given first preference.
Saturday October 25, 6:00-8:30pm (Sequence One)
-Learn and experience the most important elements of Qigong.
-Learn specific breathing and moving exercises to promote health, flexibility and grace.
-Learn the first sequence (Earth Energy) of Wu Ji Gong.
Sunday, October 26, 7:00-9:00pm (Sequence Two)
-Learn some secrets of experience true relaxation
-Learn the second sequence (Heaven Energy) of Wu Ji Gong.
-Practice both sequences together and learn how to incorporate the practice into your daily life.
About the Instructor:
Shivani-Sarah is a personal trainer, certified Yoga and Qigong instructor,
Relaxation Bodyworker and Musical Performer. Australian native, she has
been living in Japan for 7 years and lives near the ocean and temples in
Kamakura. She has trained intensively in Yoga, Qigong, Tai Chi Chun and
massage therapy in China , India , Japan and Australia. Shivani received
her Yoga Alliance teaching certification (315 hours) in India under the
Gurukul system (one on one training with a master) and participated in
the first Enlightenment Qi Gong teachers training given by Andrew
Fretwell. Shivani is also the first westerner to train in Japanese
`Jeevan Relaxation Bodywork` and loves to shares the secrets of
attaining deep relaxation in her workshops. Shivani`s lifework is
`Living Shizen`. She specializes in creating holistic health programs
based on the theme SHIZEN-which means nature and natural in Japanese.
She draws on her personal experience of creating and cultivating her
health after years of suffering from asthma, allergies, chronic back
pain, and poor circulation. Her workshops introduce both eastern and
western techniques for creating well-being, and increasing the success of
professional and personal development.

Develop a Deeper Awareness Of The Connection Between the Dristi and the Coccyx
a Lecture/Workshop with ACO YOSHIKAWA
at Sun and Moon Yoga, Meguro
Saturday, August 23
5:00pm-8:00pm
3,000 yen
＊Workshop in Japanese only.
ACO aims to give you a deeper understanding of yoga and will focus on the
special connection between the coccyx and dristi. When dristi is connected
correctly with the body, your practice unfolds into a different level,
with more awareness of your breath and a stronger connection to your
practice. In a typical class of yoga, the focus is more on the asana
rather than the dristi. There are few workshops that give you a chance
to place more emphasis on using the dristi and the coccyx in your
practice.
The relationship between the coccyx and the practice of yoga asanas will be
reviewed in this workshop. Points that will be covered:
・ What are the eight dristis?
・ How do you feel when the body changes when applying dristi?
・ What relationship do the dristi and the coccyx have?
・ What changes when you are conscious of the coccyx?
・ Applying the consciousness of the dristi and coccyx in your
yoga practice.
The theme of this workshop is similar to the popular workshop held at
Lotus＋8 in April. This time, the content has been improved especially
for Sun&Moon, which is ACO’s homeground.
ACO has been studying the relationship between various kinds of
bodywork, anatomy, and yoga for 15 years. Here, she introduces a new and
unique understanding of Dristi beyond the classic textbook approach.
This workshop will be part lecture, part movement, and part practice.
Let’s enjoy discovering more about the dristi together.
Limit: 20 students

“Yoga of Sound”
Mantra Chanting Workshop with Yuki Taniguchi
Saturday, August 9, 5:30pm-7:30pm at Sun and Moon Yoga
Cost: 4000yen
Mantra is a combination of sounds which have hidden power to awaken the
divine within. Mantra Yoga is a branch of yoga which uses the
vibration of mantra to unfold consciousness.
When we chant mantra, the mind focuses on the sound, stops thinking, and
a state of meditation arises. The heart is purified and healed in the
sacred vibration of mantra. Eventually we experience the essence of
our being, which is filled with love and peace.
In this workshop we will practice mantra in the acient language of India,
Sanskrit, in both Vedic chanting as well as kirtan style, which is more
melodic. We will progress slowly, chanting short phrases at a time in
call and response style. Even if you have never chanted
before, you are welcome to join!
In this workshop, we will practice the mantra and meditation techniques below:
・Gayatri mantra (mantra for Lord Sun)
・Mahamrtyunjaya mantra (mantra for Lord Shiva)
・Vaidika Shanti mantra (mantra for peace)
・Surya Namaskara mantra (sun salutation mantra)
・Shayana mantra (mantra for forgiveness & compassion)
・Visvakalyana mantra (mantra for peace)
・Sarasvati mantra (mantra for Sarasvati, the goddess of education and
the arts)
・Om meditation
・Chakra meditation with bija mantra
…and more…
This workshop is for people to learn mantra so they can take it home
with them. We will give handouts in Sanskrit, English and Japanese
with transliteration and meanings.
No experience necessary. Enjoy the melody of India and the sacred
vibration of the Sanskrit language.
About the Instructor:
Yuki Taniguchi fell in love with the beauty of mantra when she was a
student in San Francisco. Later she went to India to deepen her mantra
study, and studied Vedic chanting, sanskrit language, and classical
Indian singing. Currently she teaches mantra and hatha yoga in Tokyo
and Kamakura.
COST: 4,000 yen for the session. Workshop in English and Japanese by Yuki.

Here Comes the Sun!
Awaken your Practice with the Heat of the Surynamaskara
with Em Bettinger
Saturday August 2nd, 5.30pm - 8.00pm
4500 yen
If your Downward Dog is unhappy, your Warrior 1 is losing its battle,
the Chair Pose just isn’t comfy or you dread Chaturanga, then this is the
workshop for you.
Surynamaskara: Surya = sun Namaskara = greeting or salutation
This is a flow that offers us so much and honors the giver of light,
yet, are we mindfully aware of what we are doing? Or, are we rushing
through the
asanas to reach the more “challenging” aspects of the practice?
Through this workshop, surynamaskaras A and B will be broken down in
detail to explore how the breath is working and what the body is doing.
Through
the use of props, partner work and visualization, this session will be
the dawn of a new era for your sun salutations! If you have fallen into
some bad habits,
let’s change them and form good new ones instead.
If you are new to yoga, you will be introduced to the foundations of
an asana practice while being offered modifications to help you ease
into the sequence. For those with an established practice, you will be
challenged to re-energize the flow. Teachers can learn effective
techniques for breaking down the elements of the sun salutations and
teaching
proper form, alignment, and how to inspire. Prepare to sweat and SHINE.
For Beginners to Advanced Practitioners to Teachers
About the Instructor: Em Bettinger loves movement and the mechanics of it
and started dancing from an
early age, going on to study contemporary dance at 18. Through her
dance studies she was introduced to yoga. Em sees yoga as a “dance on
the mat” - the breath guiding you and energy radiating from within. She
believes you need to be in the movement physically, mentally and
emotionally - then as a person you grow, as does your practice.
Em teaches Ashtanga Basics and Vinyasa Flow at Sun and Moon.
The workshop will be in English with Japanese translation.

SELF-DEFENSE AND ENERGY SKILLS WORKSHOP:
Harnessing the Power of Ki with Shogo Oketani, Karate Buff and Gentleman
FULLY BOOKED!
Saturday, June 28, 5:00pm-8:00pm at Sun and Moon Yoga
Using The Power of Ki
Ki (氣) is the life-force energy of the cosmos that also exists within each of us. We have a power source or life center in the body called the “dantien” (Japanese: tanden) located at the hara, three finger-widths beneath the belly button. In Japan there is an expression, “Put your power in the sokka tanden (under the belly button).” This means to gain
equanimity and composure by focussing your energy on this point. When we integrate the energy of the dantien using special breathing, we can manifest our potential power. This power is called ki. The power of ki is the cornerstone of martial arts, and will be the focus of this course on energy awareness, energy building, energy use, and self-defense.
The Advantage of Using Ki
Many people are interested in self-defense and have considered learning Karate or Judo, but hesitate to do so because of the “hardness” or “Yang” qualities of those disciplines. The truth is, when we use the power of ki, we can master the skills of self-defense without stress to the body or joints. When we focus on ki, movement becomes flexible and fluid without utilizing or encouraging excess energy, lessening stress to the body. Also, with special breathing methods, we can balance the body and enhance concentration through exercise. We will begin the workshop with simple stretches to warm up the body and the energy body, learn breathing, ki cultivation and self-defense techniques, practice them with partners, and end with relaxation.
Also discussion and Q/A.
In this workshop, we will cover:

THREE SPECIAL SESSIONS ON THE SECRETS OF TIBETAN HEART YOGA WITH Shyam and Christine

with Christine and Shyam
At Sun and Moon Yoga, Meguro
Saturday, June 14th, 8:00am-9:30am
By Donation, to be given to an NGO
Class in English
Yoga is the profound science of finding a complete connection between a
truly happy and positive life and its total relevance with your subtle body.
Learn how to foster this deep connection by discovering some of the deepest
secrets of how yoga has been practiced extensively by many accomplished
spiritual seekers and mystics of the past. In this special morning offering,
Shyam and Christine will present several practical details that will truly
enable you to set your yoga practice on fire–details that have been passed
down for many generations through the sacred lineages of India and Tibet.
Here you will learn a powerful meditation that can be done simultaneously
with Asana Practice and even all throughout the day to keep you advancing in
your Yoga.

Date: Saturday, June 14
Place: Sun and Moon Yoga, Meguro
Time: 4:45pm-6:00pm
Cost: By Donation, to be given to an NGO.
Class in English
Yogis have long chanted mantras or holy sounds in order to unlock the
powerful energies within us. This works to open our hearts and raises our
consciousness to a higher plane love and kindness. Eventually we start to
experience a superior meditative concentration through these holy sounds that will
further us in our Yoga. We will be singing mainly in Sanskrit- the
beautiful language through which yoga has been practiced for thousands of years.
No experience necessary!

Discussion)
Date: Monday, June 16
Place: Sun and Moon Yoga, Meguro
Time: 3:00pm-5:00pm
Cost: By Donation, to be given to an NGO.
Class in English
In this workshop Shyam and Christine will be going deep into a detailed
presentation of our inner body. You will learn about the subtle channels
of prana in our bodies and how they form into the charkas. From a yogic
viewpoint, it is these very knots in our inner body that tie us down to
lower levels of consciousness and keep us in a mindset of suffering.
Then they will present the yogic wisdom of detangling the charkas to
where the prana can run smoothly opening us up to much higher levels of
consciousness and bliss. They will also describe what happens on an
inner body level as we do our Asanas and how we can enter into this
higher level in our yogic practice with greater ease if we know
understand what’s really going on in our inner body.
The ancient yogis of India and Tibet spent much time
in their practice of the inner body, as they knew what
a powerful practice it is. Everything Shyam and Christine will
present is through the lineage of their masters, going
back to these great accomplished yogis of the past.
Space is limited, so enroll early. Email us with WINDS LECTURE in the

About the Instructors:
Shyam Singh: From a very young age, Shyam was doing yoga with his first
teacher–his father. Shyam grew up to start traveling and seeking a spiritual
life in the Himalayas and went on to spend time with the holy men of India
from the age of 16. At this early age, Shyam was very attracted to the
spiritual life and went on to live and study in several different ashrams and
temples. At that time, he was fortunate to have met several great masters
that further turned his mind towards deeper spiritual training. He lived as
a bramachari (celibate monk) for 3 years and dedicated himself to the study
of Yoga and its philosophy. He underwent extensive training in the Sanskrit
Vedic texts and also worked to truly implement them into his life. Besides
these, he has also studied herbal medicine and healing in the Indian system
of Ayurveda. His passion for music and chanting led him to the Indian
Bamboo flute and also to reciting and singing the holy texts. Several years
later Shyam met his Heart Gurus, Geshe Michael Roach and Lama Christie. Ever
since he has been engaged in full-time study with them and spends the rest of
his time serving and traveling with his teachers on world tours.
Shyam now teaches yoga and its philosophy. These days has started to teach
a popular series of talks on Spiritual Partners– the art of having a
perfect relationship with one
’s partner. Shyam and Christine also spend several months a year in silent
retreat where they dedicate themselves to concentrated meditation and
practice.
Christine Sperber is a full-time student of yoga and dharma. She has a
graduate degree from Stanford University in Marine Geology. She later went on
to open a contemporary art gallery in Soho, in the heart of New York City,
which she ran for 10 years. Since leaving the art world, she has engaged
herself in full-time yoga and dharma practice. She has completed 6 teacher
trainings in the deep practice of Tibetan Heart Yoga. She has deeply studied
several ancient Yogic texts including the Yoga Sutra and Hatha Yoga
Pradipika. Besides these she is under constant study of the ancient scriptures
with her dear teachers Geshe Michael Roach and Lama Christie McNally in their
retreat center in Arizona. Many of these teachings are being taught in the
west for the very first time.
Her only reason for teaching is to pass on these most valuable teachings
that are extremely helpful in bringing about in us all the grounding for
complete peace and happiness. She teaches
“Yoga and Spiritual Partners” with her partner Shyam around the world.

The 5 Inner Winds: Asana Flow with Mercedes and Nyingpo
Sun and Moon Yoga, Meguro
Monday, June 16th 12:30-2:00pm
By donation
Class in English
Using meditation, imagery, and physical asana taken from ancient texts on the
“Machine of the Body” and the Kalachakra Tantra, Mercedes Bahleda and Ven
Nyingpo will lead us through a practice that harnesses the power of the

physical plane. This is a beautiful, vigorous practice that includes meditating
on the five vayus: prana vayu, udana vayu, samana vayu, apana vayu, and
viyana vayu. The five vayus run through the inner body, underlying not only
our health and well-being, but also our experience of the outer world. Be
prepared to transform your physical practice by re-imagining your perception
of the body and to explore your understanding of the inner body’s
relationship to the outer world.

Shivani writes: I created this PRANA Workshop after many of my colleagues, yoga students and friends inquired about my endless energy on stage as a performer and in my daily personal life. Many years ago this was not the case. I was in constant physical pain and had little energy for work or play. I began to study with exceptional yoga and Qi Gong teachers and traveled Asia in search of the secrets to vitality. I gradually regained a sense of health and unlocked a store house of energy to create the life I desired. The techniques I use are natural and simple and can be personally styled for effective implementation into your daily schedule. Most importantly, it is a lot of fun, and feels great!

★Self massage techniques to warm the organs, increase PRANA circulation and lymph flow and `wake up the body`.
★A quick and easy to do Daily Health Evaluation to check your PRANA flow.
★How to balance and center your PRANA while awake
May 11 (Sunday)18:45-21:15
We will explore:
★A special breath and movement sequence to improve and deepen the quality of ones breath and thus PRANA
★An ancient walking meditation technique to increase PRANA circulation, improve posture and create a strong and supple body.
★A Tibetan Sound meditation to diagnose your PRANA level and enhance tuning the body toward inner health and harmony.

The Fine Art of Adjustment: For Yoga Teachers or Teachers in Training
with Cameron Harris
Sun and Moon Yoga, Meguro
Saturday, April 5, 5:00pm-8:30pm
5,000 (4,000 yen for Sun and Moon TTC graduates)
Have you ever been adjusted in a yoga class? If so, then you know that an asana adjustment can range from the divine to the disastrous.
In this special 3.5 hour workshop, we will delve deeper into the art and skill of offering asana adjustments, learning the subtle art of touch and how to guide a student safely in to a deeper expression of a pose that is appropriate and positive for them.
We’ll begin by discussing the important elements of awareness and attitude when giving adjustments, and we’ll look at the purpose and direction of core yoga poses (standing postures, seated postures, twists) to learn and review basic, practical principles of adjustment. We’ll then practice giving gentle, alignment-focused adjustments for beginners, and deeper sustained adjustments for experienced students. We’ll practice hands-on adjustments of core asanas with a variety of partners to get a sense of what works and why it works with different bodies and levels of flexibility.
We’ll discuss adjusting protocol, share your discoveries and experiences, and address any questions you may have along the way.
Special Feature: Asana Adjustments by Request. In addition to covering adjustments for Core Asanas, participants are requested to submit asanas they are interesting in learning how to adjust in their reservation email. A portion of the course will be specitically tailored to cover these particular adjustment requests.
To enroll, please hit Contact and send in a request with “Adjustment” in the subject line, by April 5th. Register early to ensure a space!
