Understanding the Realms of Consciousness: A Toolbox for Self-Discovery and Empowerment

Friday, January 18 — 9:00am - 4:30pm
Friday All-Day Intensives
Mixed Levels

Take a deeper look into how to read and map the body symbolically and creatively. Using the tools of yoga, the chakra system, and shadow work, we'll learn to locate, see, listen, and interpret the struggles and weaknesses we experience in our mind and body, and turn them into wisdom, power, truth, and understanding. Through an embodied yoga practice, in addition to emotional and creative processing, we can learn how to read our own bodies and "see" more clearly into our body energy and wisdom, bringing all realms into greater balance.

Part asana, part discussion.

Therapeutic / Mixed Levels

Explore the dynamic balance between the two poles of the spine--the sacrum and the occiput. The aim of vinyasa yoga and asana practice is to balance the motion between these two.

We'll look at the anatomical structures involved in the sacrum-skull polarity in poses such as Downward Dog, Headstand, and Wheel, and practice postures that benefit sacral-iliac imbalances.
