The Thai Bodywork Meditation Series

The Thai Bodywork Meditation Series

As healers, we must be attentive to our inner life. Being a committed participant in the healing relationship demands presence, awareness, focus and the ability to tap resources greater than ourselves. If we are to be effective practitioners, we need to be able to recharge our batteries and "go to the well" of solace and insight that meditation provides.

I'm excited to announce that in 2010 we will be bringing some highly respected teachers to the school in a series of evening workshops covering different approaches to meditation. These evenings are open to all, and represent a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow.

Elesa Commerse (January 21) is a well known meditation teacher in the Chicago area and nationally. Elesa works with master teachers Tias and Surya Little as the Director of Wisdom Training for Prajna Yoga, their highly regarded yoga teacher training program in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She is also part of the core faculty for the Moksha Yoga Teacher Training Program in Chicago, and has created several DVDs and CDs on the topic of meditation.

Tom Quinn (February 24) co-founded YogaView in Chicago with Quinn Kearney in 1992. Tom has studied with Pattabhi Jois, Tim Miller, Richard Freeman and other master teachers, and views yoga as a vehicle for inquiry and self-knowledge. We are very pleased to have Tom as one of our first teachers in this series.

Space is limited, so please register in advance. The cost of each evening is $40 -- $30 if you are a Thai Bodywork student. Level 1 Thai Massage is coming up again this Friday, along with Level 2 and 3 later in January. I hope to see you at the school very soon, and wish you a wonderful and prosperous 2010.
