Vitalizing the Emotional Body & Water Element Part 2

1 pm - 4 pm EDT
The Giving Tree Yoga Studio in Smyrna
in person & on zoom
Based on the depth of experience and insight many felt in the November Water element workshop, we are Deepening the Dive!
Sacred Water, as the sages of old say, spans from being the most subtle and refined to the most dense expression of emotions, attitudes, prejudices, projections, neutrality, compassion and, ultimately, liberation.
Practices will focus on the pelvis, the emotional seat of the body. As Dr. Judith Blackstone, PhD., writes in her book Trauma and the Unbound Body,
“We are connected or disconnected from our emotional body,” based on integrity of energy flow and alignment.
Our intention is to help you understand how and why EmPowerFlow Yoga and Polarity exercises awaken the energies stored in the pelvis, stimulate creativity, energize the whole body and as Dr. Stone states, “Helps us find a foundation of deep rest.”
Yoga poses, meditation, knowledge, and practice are all included in this 3 hour workshop to empower deeper awareness and expansion to realizations unimagined.
We will dance, float, swim, stretch, and empower; we may laugh, cry, sing or sleep. All are welcome.
You may take Water 2 without having been in Water 1. We recommend you purchase the recording of Water 1 by contacting Donna Futrell at donna@pathsforwholeness.com or 678-230-3452.
Commit this year to your best in the New Year! Early Registration fee $ 69 until December 31st.
After that date the investment is $ 81.

EmPowerFlow Yoga
Teacher Training
Integration of the 3 Gunas
Coming soon in person!
See below for training videos you can get now.
EmPowerFlow Yoga is based on the asanas/poses of Hatha Yoga and the energy principles of Polarity Therapy. Asanas vitalize both the physical and subtle anatomy of the human body. Polarity therapy, based on the Ayurvedic and yogic model of energy relationships, outlines three forces of energy called the Gunas, i.e, the qualities of energy allowing all of creation.
This weekend of Integration will weave together the energies of Rajas, Tamas, and Sattva, i.e., 3 foundational components to the Wireless Anatomy as given by Dr. Randolph Stone. We will take a step back to explore again each of the gunas unique qualities and how we understand them now.
This exploration becomes incredibly beneficial by seeing into all that we have had to process in a profoundly chaotic life atmosphere. Watching and standing by our families, friends, students, clients, and all beings…..none of whom are exempt from the chaos, upset and confusion.
What is the worth of our work if not to utilize with as much skill and compassion towards everyone and everything, everywhere?
The mystery of yoga, 1000’s of years old, is the profound truth that knows no time, only knows your spine! The vertebrae must be decompressed routinely, the heart must know love, the mind must direct and allow energy to flow. Energy therapies are the leading edge because they get to the core.
Teaching yoga is so incredible because we empower others to grow and direct their own energy for health building and spiritual unfoldment. By the way, this is the hardest job you will ever have.
Included in our weekend:
1. Deep dive into the qualities of the elements ether, air, fire, water & air in relation to the Gunas
2. Application of these energies to poses/asanas
3. Accessing these energies through meditation on the chakras
4. Applying the lines of force to assist release of the spine, back, hips, shoulders, neck and knees.
This class is a really good opportunity to gain more insight into your own and/or your students process. Here are some issues that often arise.
Anything familiar?
1. Where does fear of a pose show up?
2. Why does this pose scare me?
3. How can I feel safer in my practice?
4. Can I move through all this scar tissue from an injury?
5. Nothing I do makes a difference ……….
Understanding energy principles, utilizing energy principles, and appreciating energy principles truly is a process of exploring, absorbing, and experimenting. Energy really is the key component to our health and well being. Applying these principles to yoga makes practice so very interesting and mystical.
Most wonderful in this weekend will be what we co-create together from your yoga and meditation experience.
All are welcome to attend. You are not required to have taken Weekends 1, 2, & 3. Those that complete all 4 weekends will receive Certification as an EmPowerFlow Yoga Instructor.
Did you miss previous weekends? No problem! Thanks to the pandemic, ironically, we have these weekends on video available for purchase for $95 each (Save $55) with your paid registration for Workshop 4.
Contact Donna Futrell with any questions at 678-230-3452 or donna@pathsforwholeness.com
Although not a requirement, you will get a really good feeling for the class flow and a lot of good information regarding the 3 Gunas.

We are in such a deep, transformative time. When we choose to listen in, there are such intense stirrings; some difficult to navigate. Yoga promotes awareness of this process. From the classes I've been teaching over these last many pandemic weeks,
I have begun to see participants moving more into stillness. Something is truly transpiring beyond all that appears.
EmPowerFlow is the process of slowing down enough to listen in, stretch and power up. Teaching yoga has often been said to be the hardest job you'll ever have. Well, I must say that has a ring because we must keep up with Thy Self so that Thy Self can keep up with every student. What an incredible win/win.
“The time flows fast as you slow down and the results are amazing.”
This weekend meets the requirements for 2 certification programs. One is sponsored by Etowah Valley which meets the requirements for Registered Yoga Instructors.
Second : these weekend trainings plus private sessions for becoming an EmPowerFlow Yoga Teacher. More details will be announced as we keep navigating!
Here's more great feedback to share with you:
*The five hour car trip from Conyers to St Simon's was easily manageable because of our yoga practice. We stopped twice to stretch and appreciated the skills we've learned to keep our bodies moving and grooving. 😊
Much gratitude to you!
Shelley, Conyers
*Hey Eleanora, the hip stretches were great, the leg pain was totally gone after the class. Isn’t that incredible?
Thanks so much for the help. I’ll “see” Donna tomorrow. -❤️Judy, Conyers
*We've loved the classes and so appreciate the routine of regular yoga movement guidance.
Thank you once again.
hugs and love, Shelley, Conyers
* Cathy in Conyers says she is 'loving classes on zoom!'
* And our friend Mary is now joining us from Sedona and connecting with old pals here in Georgia.
* Susan in Atlanta "is so grateful for the opportunity to zoom in when she can.
There is always the spirit of feeling welcomed. "

Are you a practitioner of the Healing Arts - a Polarity Practitioner, a Healthcare Professional, a Mental Health Counselor or an individual committed to your own personal growth?
This retreat will provide tools to help you assist your clients more fully connect with their body as their internal guidance system through Intuitive Yoga.
This retreat will provide tools to help you assist your clients more fully connect with their body as their internal guidance system through Intuitive Yoga.
This retreat will take participants on an inner journey of the energy pathways through Dr. Stone’s easy stretches, yoga poses, and mindfulness of movement. The primary intention is to ground and open the pathways within the body; to feel the qualities of the pathways and ease the energy through the tight, injured and painful spaces within.
The aging process alone can be especially challenging, and when complicated with inflammation and stiffness; we can help others profoundly enhance core vitality with focus and movement.
I am working deeply with clients in yoga class, in the gym with weights, and those limited to chair exercise to help them discover where they have strength and range of motion where they simply have not been aware. Pain has become more of a path of complacent suffering. Yet there is still a spark that just maybe they can feel better, get around better. My oldest client at 97 years old, has been so overwhelmed by sciatic pain, that he did not know how much strength was in his arms that is now assisting him to move, get up, and feel better about himself.
Another client, 65 years old, after working for a year with a weight trainer, has locked her shoulders and the back muscles. The upper back has formed with minimal flexibility.
Working consistently with Dr. Stone’s cliff hangers and spinal releases, and other practices, we are beginning to see an increased range of motion. The greatest challenge is training her mind to be more receptive of the subtle movement and power of breath and energy.
The energy principles of polarity, after 35+ years, have become more alive and applicable then maybe ever! Understanding and working with the core breath and core muscles to stabilize and protect the skeleton and nerve pathways is simple and simply overlooked. Profound shifts happen in the consciousness of the body which then brings clarity to the mind…often quite startling.
