Exciting Themes, Workshops & Events in 2012

Deepen Your Practice & Expand Your Joy

We have chosen monthly themes, supported with wonderful workshops and events to both deepen your practice and improve your overall health. We are excited to celebrate our themes with you, as you continue to deepen your knowledge, through the exploration of our many holistic offerings.


Winter: repose, Reflection, Clarity & Potential

Happy Healthy New Year! We hope that the holidays brought you some peace with quiet moments of reflection and that this year brings you the blessings of health, love and contentment you desire.

Each season throughout this year we will focus on themes and aspects that relate to each season. Some of the themes we will explore through our classes and trainings for the winter months are repose, reflection, clarity and potential. We will offer philosophies, movements, meditations, therapies and workshops with suggestions that will help to keep you balanced and moving towards vibrant health specific to the season we are in. The teachers and therapists have always been so helpful in these ways. We hope you can take advantage of their teachings and offerings.

Desert Song Yoga is now moving into its 29th year of teaching the art and science of yoga by supporting individuals with maintaining their health through yoga and tai chi classes, workshops, retreats, massage therapies and community activities for the entire family. We are so grateful for your support that allowed us to continue to offer the quality of services during this sensitive economic climate. We appreciate you more than words can express and feel deeply blessed for this opportunity to share with you our passions and joys.

With great anticipation we are about to embark on the 20th year of our Teacher Training Program for 2012 with enthusiastic individuals committed to this incredible spiritual journey together. Furthermore, we developed a 300 hour Advanced Training Program that offers 3 separate and/or combined tracks of study:

Therapeutic and Wellness Track
Family Studies Track
Anusara Yoga Track

We have invited our senior teachers and international guest teachers to share their wisdom in these specific tracks. These workshops will offer the general public information about the inner practices of yoga in maintaining health as well as support teacher trainers in therapeutic and family studies. In addition, Meg Byerlein will be offering Immersions and Teacher Training in the Anusara® Method and Mary Glover will be offering a 95 hour certified teacher training for children.

With the offerings and gatherings planned for Desert Song this year our vision is to bring more individuals into the love, light and radiant health and happiness that is possible through this ancient practice of Yoga. We invite your comments, suggestions and input for the evolution of our yoga practices together. We’ve listened to your suggestions and have added 3 more classes to our offerings.

May 2012 bring you many gifts and blessings that allow for more ease, health and happiness this year.
