EMBODIED ASTROLOGY @ The Holding Space
Wed. AUG 28 & OCT 5 4-6pm INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP - YOGA THERAPY & THE COSMOS $45.
My preparation for our time together begins with the chart of the moment. Think of it as the ‘cosmic -weather pattern’ for the session.
Depending on the event we may include using our individual natal charts. If that is something you are unfamiliar with I urge you have one calculated for you. That’s a service I provide with intensives/retreats.
That information guides me in choosing the appropriate yoga practices, on and off the mat that will help integrate the topic of the day.
Experiential portions of this program include: Asana, pranayama, mudra, yoga nidra, meditation, chant, integrative breathwork, art, journaling, expressive movement, dyads & storytelling.
Some hatha yoga experience is recommended but not necessary. Our practices are gentle & challenging at the same time. Experiences and insights that stimulate the mind-body-spirit connection can be profoundly transformational. Inner space explorations of outer space can at times stir up the unconscious and help us to see places we don’t often visit consciously. Be ready.
Yoga Therapy vs Yoga
The ancient definition of therapy was “one who ministers’ or heals and the future of therapy is self-therapy where the professionals teach people how to heal themselves.
Yoga Therapy re-organizes an individual’s perspective to bring balance and attention to the whole by including the causal & subtle bodies in its methodology. Even a minimal amount of research will explain that yoga is more than just the physical challenges of the postures (asana’s). There are many different ways to practice yoga and we don’t always have to use our bodies to reach the enlightened state that yoga promises.
What we do is not nearly as important as what we can observe. Our primary purpose is for unity of body/mind/spirit. And, the whole, also includes the cosmic environment as referenced in many of the yogic scriptures. Astrology is unparalleled as a tool for understanding cosmic forces and continues to prove it’s relevance to those who take the time to study, learn, and embody their knowledge. Simple astrological techniques can help identify the most pronounced energetic blockages and thereby increase the potential for yogic healing.
Over the years certain topics/themes have become *specialties* and can be presented in a wide variety of formats both in-person and online. Go here to read more.
Customized programs for your group/business/family/community are available.
CEC Credits are available for Yoga Teachers through the Yoga Alliance.

I’m writing to recommend Ida Cullen, my yoga teacher. She has been a great influence in my life. Her teaching is beyond wonderful. Also she has the most soothing voice I’ve heard. I’m a real convert at the age of 84. She has given me the ability to get calm and meditate. My life has become much happ...

I am grateful for being on this journey with Ida Cullen as my teacher of Yoga, as I have been for almost 20 years. With her, I know I will feel better after each session than before going in.

I feel quite fortunate to be practicing yoga with Ida. During the pandemic she reached out to her Yogis’ and began zoom classes. At a time in my life when most of my day was tense and uncertain I knew Ida would show me how to calm down and relax. Her classes were the best part of my day. Ida also en...
