Array Yoga & Kung-fu Academy

The Classic 84 class is for donation only , and a disciplined yoga practice is recommended . You don’t have to be a contortionist , but you do need to know how to practice safely . A minimum of a year of experience practicing yoga is required .

The Classic 84 class is an interpretation of the root yoga series from which all yoga series derived . Passed from teacher to student for many generations . Interpreted & reinterpreted . Adjustsments are made for different needs of the different generations , though the core remains . This challenging class opens up the body to learn any posture ,  even those not in the class , and also prepares the body & mind for more effective seated meditation . One of the original intentions of practicing yoga postures was to prepare the body for seated meditation . Asana , commonly translated to ” pose or posture ” , actually at its root means ” to sit ” . This is a great class for yoga teachers , dancers , martial artist , and serious athletes of all types including disciplined yoga practitioners .

Note from Glenn

” Recently the studio I have been teaching this Classic 84 class at for the past decade was asked by the owner of the franchise to not teach what was known as the “advanced class” at the Bikram studios anymore , and to focus on teaching the beginner Bikram class at the Bikram studios . This newsletter was sent to all Bikram studios . I am willing to comply , and it is easy enough just to teach the beginner Bikram classes at Bikram studios . That has always been the focus at Bikram studios , and the advanced class has served as a way to help students who want to progress their practice with more postures , and a great way to train people for the yoga championship which is based on the poses from the Classic 84 class . So in compliance I will not teach this class at the Bikram studio , and will teach it instead at the Lionflow Studio , and wherever else people would like to practice it . I have been practicing this class for 12 years , and teaching it for 10 . It is part of my heart , part of my practice , and I will continue to share it . I do not claim to own this class , and in fact nobody does . Yet still it makes its way through time . I am excited to offer this class at the Lionflow studio , and to continuing to train competitors for the yoga championship . It is what I feel compelled to do , and so I will . With both respect to my teachers , and to students safety & progress .”

Hello All ,

Most often while taking class it can be hard to see , and celebrate the accomplishments of our fellow students as we focus on our own practice . So I will post inspirational photo’s for  every season exposing the beautiful , progressive yoga dance of our fellow yoga practitioners . Thank you to the students this month who allowed me to take , and share their photo’s !

Introducing New Classes

Gentle Basics – 

The Gentle Basics Class is a therapeutic yoga series made to help anyone , no matter any inabilities , to break the ice on what yoga can do for them . This class is a great response to the usual sentiment of ” I can’t practice yoga because I’m not flexible ” . Well the Gentle Basics class does not require flexibility , it instead works on how to safely raise & lower the heart rate , lubricate the joints internally , and build the core skeletal strength & balance necessary not only for yoga , but for everyday life . The idea of class is how to work every muscle safely , and untie the knots in the body for more comfortable flexibilty .

The posture sequence provides an efficient workout , and will open up the bodies range of motion without forcing anything . The fluid sequencing of poses raises the heart rate enough that the heightened circulation helps you to feel more range of motion during class than usual , helps relieve tension in the muscles & joints , and removes blockage from the circulation system . These are yoga benefits everyone needs .

This class is for anyone with limited range of motion , balance , or strength , and for those with tension related pain in the joints , muscles , ligaments , tendons , and nervous system . The class is structured to be able to untie the knots in the body for more comfortable flexibilty , and to build the stability strength necessary for everyday life . This series of postures can be safely performed dispite any inabilities while still offering levels of intensity that build great strength , and relieve much tension .

Glenn originally put this class together to offer his parents a yoga series that started them off where they were , instead of expecting them to do a class that was above their level . By coming to them at their level they were able to achieve much progress in their balance , flexibilty , core strength , breath capacity , sleeping habits , digestion , over all energy , and many other aspects of their lives .

This class is for people who need gentle yoga therapy , or people who are terrified of yoga but want to try it anyway . Come to get your yoga feet wet , and next thing you know you’ll be doing backbends & arm balancing in the circus , or at least dreaming about it .

Hsing-I Kung-Fu – 

This ancient Kung-fu form is not a Lionflow class , but is part of Glenn Brown’s training . Hsing-I is an internal martial art based on energy flow , and the immitation of animals & elements through linear martial arts sequence . One of the ideas is to build coordination , balance , and heightened reaction time with forms that coordinate the hands with the feet , the knees with elbows , and the hips with the shoulders .

In the class there is a kicking & punching warm up mixed with short yoga sequence specifically for depth & balance in stances , strength & range of motion in punches & kicks , and flexibility in the joints & spine . There is also Qi-gong in the warm up , which is a traditional Kung-fu warm up , and as well some time is also spent working on push hands to loosen up , and warm up the body . The main portion of time is spent on animal & element forms .

This is a Martial Arts class with no belt systems , or sparring . Forms , function , coordination , and efficient warm ups & warm downs are the focus . This class is benefitual for a fighters stability & coordination , and for yogi’s a fun dance , and a non aggressive way to learn excellent self-defense .

These are specialty classes , and times & locations may vary , so check Lionflow.com for class times & locations .

                                   ” Lines on Pages “ Art Gallery

Minimalism , Surrealism , & Abstract drawings & paintings by Glenn Brown .

” I have been drawing as far back as I can remember . My older siblings are talented artist , and that always gave me something to aspire to . Knowing that the those artistic genes must be within me too , I kept working at it . As a teenager I had trouble finishing drawings in art class using a pencil because I would keep erasing , and redrawing things to make them look better . I overcame this using an ink pen to draw . No erasing is possible so you have to go with the mistakes . Ink pen remains my favorite medium for art .    

             Another influence on my art came from my Kung-fu teacher showing me an art piece a zen master had given to him . It was a grain of rice cut in half , and framed in an hour glass with a magnifing glass over it . On the grain of rice had been painted a sky , sun , clouds , mountains , people , houses , a river , a phrase in Chinese characters , and complete with a signature at the bottom . This inspired me to start a series of ink drawings on post-it notes . Trying to express as much as I could in as little space as possible .              

My main focus is teaching Yoga , so I am grateful to be able to share my art at this gallery . This opportunity has allowed me to express art that had been waiting within me for expression .

Come enjoy the gallery opening Oct. 2nd ( a Sunday ) , from 7 to 9 pm . Food , wine , and music will be on the house . For more info about the gallery go to eternalhealthyoga.com , or contact me at lionflow@gmail.com , or call/text 812-207-1192 . I will post more info , address  & such , soon . Cheers & Namaste’ ,”
