Yoga Workshop with Gabriel
Monday February 27th
6-8pm

Take your practice to a new level with the precision of Iyengar Yoga. Gabriel Halpern, an icon in Chicago’s yoga community, teaches with eloquence, detail, and humor. He starts class with one of his famous “dharma raps” and then guides you through in-depth exploration of different asanas. You learn more than poses: you learn concepts that you can apply to a wide variety of asanas, as well as different aspects of life. Gabriel will join us on the last Monday of every month! These workshops are the same price as regular TriBalance classes. No pre-registration is necessary.

Yoga Workshop with Jim Bennitt
Tantra: Weaving Together the Material and Spiritual Worlds
Friday March 2nd
6-8 pm

Unheated
All level

The word tantra means “to weave.” While most spiritual traditions say the material world distracts us from spiritual growth, tantra says that the material world is a manifestation of the divine and that we should weave the two together. It also says we should have a personal relationship with, and can even embody the divine. This class explains (and then applies) the ways to make our practice more than just a physical workout. A Tantric Vinyasa class is more of a sacred ritual that helps us to identify with the divine light that rests within all of us!

Jim began his studies in Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda in 1997. Jim completed Moksha's teacher training with Daren Friesen, traveled to Ukraine for a two-month intensive training with master teacher Andrey Lappa and assisted Gabriel Halpern in his therapeutic classes at The Yoga Circle.  Since then, he completed and now assists in several teacher trainings in Rod's Stryker's Para Yoga lineage. Jim is also a popular presenter at conferences such as the annual Yoga Journal Conference, workshops and retreats in the U.S. and abroad. This workshop is the same price as regular TriBalance classes. No pre-registration is necessary.
