Tom Burchinal has been a serious student of Yoga since he began his practice in
2005. After 6 years of personal practice he
did his RYT200 certification in the summer of 2011
at the Ithaca Yoga Center - Ahimsa.
He is currently enrolled at the
American Institute of Vedic Studies where he
studies and practices the higher aspects of Yoga
and Ayurveda under Dr. David
Frawley (Pundit Vamadeva Shastri).
Ayurveda has given Tom a clear
understanding that every body/mind is totally
unique, and should be instructed
accordingly. For this reason, his public
classes are tri-doshic in nature and accessible to
everyone at every skill level.
He is a serious student of
asana, pranayama, and meditation, and one can
expect each of these elements in his public
classes.
Tom also works privately with
students and is available for Ayurvedic-Yoga
consultations.
If interested in a consultation,
please email tom.burchinal@gmail.com
Tom bows humbly before all great
teachers, past, present, and future.

Gutman |

Amanda felt her life transform in a beautiful
way as a result of her personal yoga practice, and
wanting to share the joy of that experience with
others, decided to become a certified yoga
teacher. Her goal is to help you ignite your own
personal practice, guiding you to what feels right
for your personal body-type, leading you towards
the ultimate goal of self-realization. To
Amanda, asana is meditation in movement; the
truest form of embodiment. In her words,
"What a blessing connecting body and breath! Allow
your practice to unfold like a lotus of many
petals." After studying independently for several
years, Amanda received her 200 hr, Ahimsa Yoga
Training Certification in 2011.

Hatha Yoga w
Amanda~This class is designed for those students
who are familiar with basic yogic principles.
Amanda leads a meditative asana sequence
connecting us to the subtler aspects of our being.
This movement mediation focuses on tuning into the
body's energetic pathways and channels. Students
should anticipate a blend of chanting, asana,
relaxation, and pranayama.
O
friend, understand: the body
is
like an ocean,
rich
with hidden treasures.
Open
your inmost chamber and light its
lamp.
Within the body are
gardens,
rare
flowers, peacocks, the inner
Music;
within the body a lake of
bliss,
on it
the white soul-swans take their
joy.

Mandy Caughey developed this meditation
practice in 2009, during a period of extreme
crisis.
She has been practicing it on a regular basis
ever since then. It channels mental activity into
a series of focused intentions and imagery;
targeted to cleanse, neutralize, and rebuild
internal energies. Benefits include a significant
decrease in unwanted thoughts, emotions, and
habits.
One will also begin to cultivate an authentic
sense of gratitude, peace, and love.
This practice allows your fullest potential to
come forth, by quieting the mind, and awakening
the heart. | |
