Anti-gravity yoga:Turn Your World Upside Down

Everyone needs a day where they can hang like a monkey and we do just that at Om Factory in our Anti-gravity yoga classes. Anti-gravity is a suspension training technique that was developed by gymnasts, dancers, and aerialists. We spend a lot of time upside down, decompressing the spine, lubricating the joints, lengthening the connective tissue, and elongating the muscles. Going upside down activates the parasympathetic nervous system creating a relaxation response, releasing endorphins into the blood stream and creating a sense of peace and calm.

Join me for Anti-gravity yoga at Om Factory- Monday's 2-3:15pm.

New Year's Day 108 Sun Salutations

Om Factory- 265 W.37th street, 17th floor, between 7th-8th aves

www.omfactorynyc.com

Celebrate your transition into 2010 with a vibrant ceremony of community and GRATITUDE for the amazing future that lies ahead. Release all you are ready to leave behind through a deep and sweaty moving meditation of 108 transformative salutations. Our spirits will vibrate high to the music of an unbelievably fun and upbeat playlist!

This ceremony begins by setting your particular sankalpa (wish or intention) for your mala. You will set an over all sankalpa, as well as one for each salutation. The tapas (heat and austerity) of your practice will create a fire that devours impurities and obstacles. Your positive thoughts will collect to manifest beauty, abundance and healing for you to receive through out your New Year.

Why 108? Vedic culture viewed 108 as a number of the wholeness of existence. This number also connects the Sun, Moon, and Earth: The average distance of the Sun and the Moon to Earth is 108 times their respective diameters. Such phenomena have given rise to many examples of ritual significance. According to yogic tradition, there are 108 pithas, or sacred sites, throughout India. And there are also 108 Upanishads and 108 marma points, or sacred places of the body.

This will be fun, this will be special, this will be something you remember for years to come. Give yourself this gift of yoga ceremony. You need not have ever done a single salutation to join us. The initial salutations will be led though you will soon be carried away in the wave of your own moving meditation. Each salutation will be counted for, so your only responsibility is to show up, open up, breath, have fun, and flow!

Latham on Good Morning America

Hi Folks,

So many of you are familiar with my kind and gentle side when you come to prenatal class or have me cook in your home. There is a very sweet side to me that is nurturing and soft and on the other side is a girl who loves kickboxing! I did a taping at my Yoga Studio-OM Factory where I practice Yoga Fight club. YFC is a class that incorporates yoga postures and kickboxing techniques for those who love to unleash their inner beast. Check out the video online

Yoga Brunch at Om Factory with Latham

Get a taste of amazing yoga instructors as you sample an array of visiting guest teachers with The Om Factory Yoga Brunch Series! Every Saturday, Om Factory features a visiting instructor to teach from 9:30 – 11:00am. Each class is followed by a $10 vegetarian brunch created by Yogi Chef Michael Rosner of the Natural Gourmet Institute. Come for the yoga … stay for the brunch!

Vinyasa Yoga is a practice of linking breath with movement. This practice teaches us to cultivate an awareness of linking each action to the next. The class is very alignment-oriented, and includes chanting and breathwork. Expect to engage in a fluid expression of the poses that seems almost like a dance. Groove to the sounds of a soulful mix or live drumming as you build heat in the body, sweating out toxins, elongating muscles and connective tissue, and relieving stress while moving through this innovative sequence of postures. Come join me Saturday, December 13th 2008 from 9:30-11am.
Visit Om Factory for details.
Om Factory is located at 265 W. 37th street 17th floor, near 8th avenue.

OM Factory Welcomes Latham to Teach Prenatal Yoga

I had a wonderful prenatal yoga class where Krissy Shields, (who I observed during my own teacher training) and Emily Conradson of OM Factory came to take my prenatal yoga class this past Tuesday at Realbirth. Krissy is now great with child and glowing. I had the pleasure of finally practicing with her and observing her movements as a mommy-to-be.

On behalf of OM Factory family Emily extended the invitation for me to join the team at OM Factory and bring Prenatal yoga to the schedule Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting in January. I know it sounds like a its a long time from now, but it will be here before you know it. In honor of my teacher Mia Borgatta, the class will be called Ma Yoga.

Please check out the OM Factory website and sign up for email updates and the newsletter. They will send out a dedicated email for October that begins promoting my class.
