Who is Paul Linden?
PAUL LINDEN, Ph.D., is a specialist in body awareness education, the developer of Being In Movement® mind-body education, and founder of the Columbus Center for Movement Studies. He holds a Ph.D. in Physical Education, a sixth degree black belt in Aikido and a first degree black belt in Karate, and he is an instructor of the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education. He has extensive experience working with a variety of clients such as musicians, athletes, pregnant women, adult survivors of child abuse, children with attention disorders, and business people both in the U.S. and abroad. He has taught Embodied Peacemaking in Ecuador, Argentina, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Poland, Germany and Israel. He is the author of a number of e-books, among which are:
What are the workshops about?
Paul’s workshops offer experiential practices by which we can work with intention, muscle tone, posture, breathing and movement to develop a mind/body state of expansiveness, calm alertness and compassionate power. These body awareness skills enable us to maintain a peaceful and stable body and mind, which provides a foundation for finding harmonious and productive ways of handling difficulties.
Why is this important to me?
When we are challenged, threatened or hurt, we naturally react with contraction or collapse of breathing, posture, attention and movement. These distress responses give rise to feelings such as fear, anger, shock, resignation, or numbness. These powerful physical responses hijack the rational mind and the compassionate heart, and they move people toward uncoordinated, oppositional and ineffective behavior.
Who can join the workshops?
These workshops are open to anyone who wishes to manage conflict (including inner conflict) more peacefully or who teaches others to do so. The skills are particularly appropriate for educators, parents, business people, lawyers, peace activists, psychotherapists, yoga/bodywork practitioners, somatic educators and martial artists.
How much does it cost?

Why is Dana bringing Paul to Salt Lake City?
Dana studied aikido with Paul in Columbus, Ohio from 1993-1997. Paul’s techniques of developing body awareness and dealing with conflict continue to influence her teaching and personal practice.
I look forward to sharing this meaningful, educational experience with you!
Dearest students,
Dana will be absent from teaching from Feb. 5-13 in order to take a personal holiday. Following is the schedule for Feb. 6-13:
Please note: Dana will teach her regularly-scheduled 9:15am class on Monday, Feb. 20 (President’s Day). Charlotte will also teach her regularly-scheduled 5:30pm class that day!
Thank you all for your understanding. Enjoy your classes with Carla and Charlotte, and Roz, if you can join.
I’ll look forward to seeing you all when I return!
I’d like to thank you all for a wonderful 2016. It is truly a pleasure to work with each person who walks into the studios and classrooms. It’s inspiring to see you walk into your first class and rediscover the experience of being in your body, comfortable or uncomfortable. To help you discover a greater capacity to deal with life’s challenges by taking your yoga practice off the mat and into your daily life. To see you rest in the initial discomfort of a new asana or new concept, find comfort in the discomfort, and move forward steadily. To share your hopes, dreams, fears, losses, failures and successes. Each one of us walks the same ground on different paths. Thank you for sharing your journey, and I look forward to working with you in 2017.
Warm regards,
Dana

December is such a busy month that I decided to give you all TWO extra chances to come to Mindful Yoga Collective and let go of all that busy-ness!
Hope to see you for one or both of these lovely classes…
Join this two-hour class for a slow-paced, gentle, therapeutic approach to familiar poses. Find lightness and balance in the darker days around the winter solstice. Allow the body to rest in the moment, savor each breath, and let go of the busy-ness of the season to dwell in contentment and gratitude. No yoga experience necessary, but be prepared to set up each pose with plenty of props for maximum comfort and support. (Price: 2 class tickets, or $20.00)
Join this New Year’s Eve morning practice to say goodbye to 2016 and welcome 2017 with your yoga community at Mindful Yoga Collective! All levels of practitioners welcome. (Price: Regular class price)
