Come for all 3 workshops or a single workshop—we’d love to have you no matter what!
SCHEDULE:
Weekend 1: Embodiment
Sunday, March 31st: 2:30-4:30 p.m.
Perhaps it is important to say that we are already embodied. However, the degree to which our embodiment is functioning well or not is what embodiment practices are targeted to explore. Embodiment is that we can move in the ways we move, the ways we live our lives, and also, how we are prepared to move. It is also the moment-by-moment process by which we allow awareness to enhance the flow of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and energies through our bodily selves. Yoga practices can be embodiment practices through the techniques you learn, the way you apply them, and the ritual of your practice.
This workshop will go over basic concepts about yoga practices that develop embodiment and explore forward bending for all levels.
Weekend 2: Archetypes
Sunday, April 28th: 2:30-4:30 p.m.
Continuing where we left off… archetypes provide context, metaphor, and symbol— all of which can change the way we move with exactitude and ease and sometimes with more efficiency than effort. Developing an understanding of this can make your practice become a portal into new lands within.
This workshop will go over concepts about archetypes, symbols, and metaphors as they relate to yoga practices and explore ways to open up the hips for movement and ease.
Weekend 3: Listening and Perspective
Sunday, June 2nd: 2:30-4:30 p.m.
The body will always tell the story of our lives, our week, our day, this minute… in a language so direct and simple that if it were heeded would contradict most of the ways we have learned we have to be to live. This is the ambiguity of having a mind and a body. For protection, the mind pulls away and isolates from the body. Working with the ways and hows that the body moves and experiencing the subtleties and complexities inherent in that, is a way to shift perspective and build our tolerance to the ambiguous nature of being.
We’ll explore back bending in this session, some experience necessary.
