Very stoked! I now have a great new space nearby and centrally located to offer my workshops! LIBERATION YOGA at 124 S. La Brea between 1st and 2nd.
The first workshop will be on Saturday, June 21st from Noon-2pm...it's called:
124 S. La Brea (btw 1st and 2nd)
Los Angeles, CA 90036
The first workshop will be on Saturday, June 21st from Noon-2pm...it's called:
THE MOMENT OF CHOICE
In every situation where the stakes are seemingly high; where you and I stand to gain or lose (at least this is how it "appears to be"), there is a moment of choice. This moment can re-write your entire experience of life, and impact not only you, but all of your relations. When confronted with potential loss or gain, many times the easier choice has historically been to reach for some sense of power to avoid that feeling of being 'out of control' - it's been a knee-jerk reaction, and a default setting.
This workshop is an invitation into a new experience...the opportunity to become conscious of the Moment of Choice and to choose to connect with and feel LOVE...to run the feeling of Love through the body, through the nervous system, through the emotions, and then act..to retrain ourselves, and actually step into a world where anything is possible.
As always, the core of this workshop will be the BREATH...will use it and all the extra light from the longest day of the year, and focus it nice and deep with a good dose of laughter along the way.

Hi Everyone...
A quick reminder that I’ll be in San Francisco this week with the work both privately and with a Friday night workshop.
Additionally, it looks like I’ll be giving introductions of the work in several yoga Anusara yoga classes in Berkeley and San Francisco with two of Anusara’s most gifted teachers, Abby Tucker (at Yoga Kula) and Stacey Rosenberg (at Yoga Tree).
I know at the moment that I’ll be giving a good taste of the work during and extended savasana in Abby Tucker’s 6:15-7:45pm class at Yoga Kula (www.yogakula.com) in Berkeley this Tuesday night, May 13th.
Feel free to check in with me about times/dates for the other introductions of the work with Abby and Stacey.
I’m really excited about this trip and seeing/meeting you!

Sunday, 4/20 10am - Noon ~ Intentional Breathworkshop!
Posted on Apr 15th, 2008

Scott Schwenk
Hi Everyone!
I’m just back from a deep and busy trip to NYC leading a workshop and doing private sessions. I’ll be home in LA just under two weeks before heading out to New Mexico from April 24-May 4, so if you’re feeling the need for a tune up with the breath, now’s a great time...a great time to release old layers, cleanse deep, and make space for all the intentions you set around the new year to begin to sprout with the energy of Spring. I’ve got limited availability for private sessions before I head to New Mexico, and felt inspired to use the energy of the Full Moon and the surge of energy I’ve been feeling with Spring to focus the energy into another group:
Sunday, April 20, 10am-12pm (**be early to avoid being late, we’ll be starting at 10:00am**)
In this Intentional Breathwork group, we’ll be recognizing and using the energy of the Full Moon and the surge of the energy of Spring. And we’ll be focusing the work into working with power behind this statement ~ “Your expectations CREATE your experience.” If you or anyone you know is feeling stuck in the same experiences over and over again, frustrated, and ready for something NEW, this group is for you...
Where: The retreat-like home of Linda Kaplan in her beautiful private dance studio
(This place is STUNNING...and a total haven)
25090 Mulholland Hwy
Calabasas, CA 91302
Bring: Be sure to bring a folded blanket and or yoga mat for sitting on and using when we lay down for the breathing.
Cost: $50 cash or check
RSVP: To myself or Linda so we’ll know to expect you...
Parking: Please park on either side of Mulholland Hwy and walk up the
driveway to the studio...Linda has asked that we don’t park in the driveway.
Directions from Santa Monica:
Go North on PCH to Malibu Canyon Road ( the first grassy corner of
Pepperdine, where PCH and Malibu Canyon intersect) and take a right
onto Malibu Canyon Road. Continue on this road until you get to a 4-
way stop light at Mulholland Hwy. Take a right at this light. Go about
3 miles up Mulholland Hwy. My house is the first house on the right
after a street called Cold Canyon crosses Mulholland Hwy. From the
road you will see my gate and pine trees and recycle /garbage cans.
Directions from the East Side:
Take the 101 North towards Ventura. Take Exit 29 for Valley Circle Blvd toward Mulholland Dr.
Turn left at Valley Circle Blvd. Continue on Mulholland Dr. Turn Right at Valmar Rd. Continue on Old Topanga
Canyon Rd. Slight right at Mulholland Hwy (about 4.6miles till the driveway for the house). From the road
You will see my gate and pine trees and recycle/garbage cans.
Love,
Scott

Unnatural State of the Unicorn

Scott Schwenk
This poem blew me away this morning. I received an early birthday present from a friend in the form of a book of poems called Neon Vernacular by Yusef Komunyakaa. I opened it right to this particular poem, and had goosebumps from head-to-toe. It's where I'm at right now...
Unnatural State of the Unicorn
Introduce me first as a man.
Don't mention superficial laurels
the dead heap up on the living.
I am a man. Cut me & I bleed.
Before embossed limited editions,
before fat artichoke hearts marinated
in rich sauce & served with imported wines,
before antics & Agnus Dei,
before the stars in your eyes
mean birth sign or Impression,
I am a man. I've scuffled
in mudholes, broken teeth in a grinning skull
like the moon behind bars. I've done it all
to be known as myself. No titles.
I have principles. I won't speak
on the natural state of the unicorn
in literature or self-analysis.
I have no birthright to prove,
no insignia, no secret
password, no fleur-de-lis.
My initials aren't on a branding iron.
I'm standing here unpolished
shoes & faded jeans, sweating
my manly sweat. Inside my skin,
loving you, I am this space
my body believes in.

"Staying Clear Into The New Year..."
There's an old expression that says if you want to find out how enlightened you are, go spend time around your family. (insert laugh track here). For many people, some of the closer relationships can have you feeling like you've never done any work on yourself at all, a bit like Superman getting near Kryptonite. Why is this? And how can you grow past it? How can you actually feel more empowered in your closest relationships with family, friends, romantic partners? In this workshop we'll focusing the work into these areas, guiding you into a much deeper clarity about who you are, what you're here to do, and staying clear in your relationships. And we'll have a lot of fun along the way!

I haven't been this moved about a movie since THE MATRIX...it has that impact for me. I saw the MATRIX 8 times at the movie theatre.
AUGUST RUSH is a completely different type of movie...and cuts me just as deep...right to the quick ~ one of the best movie experiences of my life. I had to contain myself a little in the theatre with the force of Spirit and emotion moving through my body, my throat, and my awareness. Goosebumps the whole way through... I'm seeing it again on Tuesday. And I've got the soundtrack blasting through me now...
RUN don't walk to see it....open your heart and let it work you. It's time to create....it's time for the creators known and unknown to let IT move and express fully...now....
Love,
Scott
