SUFI

SUFI YOGA
with Forest

STF teaches on Sunday on Dec. 18th, 2011
at the Crystal Essences Wellness Center, Great Barrington, MA.

An intriguing blend of yoga positions and Sufi meditative movement
and spiritual practices  including -  chanting, rhythmic breathing and the power of sound.

Sufi Yoga helps your soul to see itself as it is.

If you would like to remove any unwanted energies from your system that clog up your thinking processes,
if you would like to feel clear, and if you have been feeling overwhelmed or tired from over work, and if you are overeating since Thanksgiving and would like to get ahead start before overeating more during Christmas, this class may help you.

The workshop is for beginner, intermediate and advanced yoginis and Sufi practioners.

 New description for SUFI YOGA 12.14.2011

Our Sufi Yoga practice is deep deep deeply spiritual
and really very focused invigorating practices combining Sufi and Yoga.
There is also an expanded period of bliss trance-rest that helps the body
and mind to absorb the impulse of fresh new energy within -
so the results are having a free and relaxed kind of attitude.

‘I was teaching Sufi Dance and Meditation and performing in many venues mostly in New England towns for nearly 20 years.   Then, this past fall, in a one room tiny cabin 7200 ft high in the remote forest/ mountains of New Mexico, i began working with specific Sufi chants for Forgiveness, Healing and Thankfulness.   After receiving an additional piece of esoteric information, breath work was added in and blended with the yoga.   I did this practice for up to 2 hours near daily following the sun rise for like 3 months.   Within two weeks, i felt better than i had in a very long time, like i felt completely rejuvenated and energized.   And so, that is how Sufi Yoga was born.   It is my great pleasure to share these practices which aid in removing prior conditioning and unwanted attachments and also in softening of the heart.‘ stephanie ‘tetra’ forest

TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS

And a Sufi experience – where being with you is like walking through a fragrant rose garden
and I emerge feeling energized, |happy, blessed – means more than you may know. 

I still reach inwardly for that place of gentleness, peace, love, kindness,
music, movement, and your beautiful voice.

My experience of your teaching has always been one of total presence.

 I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful, wonderful, magical and transformational day.
I am still blissed out.  Life is good and glorious.
I feel like I am home, once again. 
Like I’ve been on a long trek across the desert and I have, like Moses,
found my way to the promised land after more than 40 years!
~E

 I feel as if I have rediscovered the richest and most simple secret of my own inner joy.
