Do You Think You Will Break?

Join us for a very special evening at Evolve with Robin Patino.

Believe in your own power and in the good in others. The Koshas – one of the core philosophies of yogic teaching – give us a map of how to be powerful in the face of whatever life presents us. They show us the way to health and healing by aligning each layer of ourselves – physical, energetic, personality, wisdom and ultimately, bliss. Learn more about these powerful teachings, as discussed in the new book, Do You Think You Will Break? Stretching Head, Hips & Heart in My Search for Happiness.

  • To begin: Yin Yoga and meditation practice designed to open head, hips & heart
  • Discussion of the Koshas, supported by practical excerpts read from the book
  • Community exercises facilitated by mentoring expert, Robin Patino
  • Followed by wine & cheese/tea & cookies

In 2009, Robin Patino closed the door to her Manhattan apartment, leaving a 20-year business career to embark on a two-year journey of healing and self-discovery. Her adventures took her to Costa Rica to train as a yoga teacher, across the United States twice and through northern Spain, where she walked a 400-mile pilgrimage on a hip once destined for replacement surgery. Patino converted her life, business and mentoring background into valuable lessons for finding happiness in all circumstances.

Cost of event: $35 includes books, $25 without book.

Thai Bodywork with Michael Sitzer, L.M.T.

Thai Yoga Bodywork has been called “lazy person’s yoga,” as one gets all the benefits of a yoga class without applying any muscular exertion. It is both relaxing and therapeutic, mixing passive yoga postures into a flowing sequence of massage techniques. This bodywork incorporates assisted stretches, positional release therapy, muscle energy techniques, soft tissue manipulation and joint mobilization. Thai Yoga Bodywork begins to stretch and open the body while deeply relaxing the client.  Afterwards, clients tend to feel as if they have been given a new body, one that is more limber, awake & alive. It is a true ‘full body tune-up.’ This work is also effective for treating specific neruo- muscular injuries, especially muscle pain and spasm. Sessions are practiced on a padded floor mat while wearing comfortable clothes. Thai Yoga Bodywork is a delight to both give and receive! It’s time to try it!

  • Learn a new skill & create a new income.
  • Includes yoga stretches, breath work, trigger point & energy line work.
  • With certification, one is prepared to offer a complete therapeutic & relaxing treatment.
  • Each day is approved by NCBTMB for 6 hours of CEU’s.
