Yin Yoga uses traditional yoga asanas (postures) that require less of an external effort but have a deep effect, resulting in stretching of connective tissue and opening of pathways to allow flow of energy. To quote Paul Grilley, who had been at the forefront of promoting this practice, "The main differences between a Yin and a Yang (more strenuous and external) Yoga practices are that Yin postures should be done with the muscles relaxed and be held a long time. This is because connective tissue does not stretch like muscles and will not respond well to brief stresses." The workshops, instructed by Ronen, include use of props such as sand bags, belts, bolsters and eye-pillows. Asanas are held 3 to 6 minutes each, using very little, if any, muscle effort. You may feel very relaxed and heavy after the practice; even slightly lightheaded, thus driving back home should be done with extra caution. Open to all levels, no previous experience necessary.

Can we really quieten the chatter inside our mind and reach a state of meditation? The answer is yes. Yet, for most practitioners it is not like turning a light switch on and off. How then, can one go about it?
Ronen, a seasoned meditator and guide, had been guiding hundreds of meditation sessions, events and workshop. Each event can be tailored to the interest of the participants and the hosting studio/location. A variety of techniques can be introduced as well as several short meditation practice segments, each focused on a different aspect of the practice.
Ronen's events are designed to be open to anyone with interest in meditation, including experienced and non-experienced meditation practitioners.

Pranayama is often translated as ‘extension of the life-force’, with life-force being commonly expressed as breath. It is an ancient yogic practice. What is the big deal? After all, don’t we all just breathe naturally? Indeed, breathe we do, and that is what is so wonderful about this practice. Unlike some trainings that require space, props and special conditions, breath is readily available to us everywhere. One can practice breathing while driving, sitting at an office meeting, waiting to board a flight, and of course, during meditation and yoga practices.
In this workshop (or series of events,) Ronen will guide the participants via a journey, exploring different types of breath (that’s right – there’s more than just inhale and exhale) and how to apply such breathing techniques to anything from our yoga and meditation practices to everyday situations.
No previous experience with pranayama is needed. Just dress comfortably. It is recommended not to eat at least one hour before the workshop. Also, please do not wear any strong perfume or deodorant.

A Yogathon is a great way to raise funds for charity, explore various yoga styles back to back, and/or just have fun!
The event typically includes x3 one hour classes, for example: Classic Hatha Yoga, followed by one hour Flow/Vinyasa Yoga, and concluding with one hour of Yin Yoga. Short 5-10 min breaks are given in-between the sessions, adding up to a 3.5 hours event.
The classes can be given by different instructors inlcuding Ronen, or all by Ronen. The workshop is designed to be open for all levels, including for participants without previous experience in any particular style.

Qigong means Energy Cultivation. It is a general term used to describe various exercises of physical and mental training for health, martial arts, and self-enlightenment. Some consider Qigong a branch of Tai Chi, which, in by itself, is an internal Chinese martial art, practiced for the added benefits of improving health and longevity.
Qigong and Tai Chi teach its participants the ability to relax into the opposing force as well as the capacity to truly listen. It is a wonderful practice of an everlasting process of self-study. The more one practices surrender, the more subtle resistance surfaces one finds himself still in need of letting go. Real mastery of these arts is not in the studio nor in a fistfight; it is in the way one handles life.
No previous experience is required. This workshop can be offered as a standalone introductory event, or as a series of classes. It include practice of the basic fundamental moves, meditative and breathing techniques, as well as the philosophy behind the practice (Daoism and I-Ching).

As Yoga teachers and instructors of various fields of practice, we occasionally go into a class that has the wrong vibe. It can be the space, one or more of the participants, or it can be something we cannot quite put our finger on. Such dissonance can throw participants off course, and leave the instructor unfocused.
Drawing from a host of traditions, this two-hour workshop will cover techniques for space-energy cleansing before and after class; how to sense and handle out-of-place energies, as well as techniques for personal protection and cleansing. The workshop will include a theory component as well as hands on experience. Suited for both new instructors as well as seasoned teachers and anyone interested in learning these techniques for personal use.
