Deepen Your Practice
Fridays: June 20, July 18, August 15
6:30-8:00pm
All levels
Looking for a way to deepen and expand your practice? Are there poses or areas where you feel stuck? Interested in learning more about the energetic underpinnings and philosophical roots of yoga? Welcome!
In these workshops, we’ll take a deeper dive into the yoga postures, ancient teachings, and energetics of the subtle body. The small-group format will allow time for questions, discussions and a short meditation, as well as individually tailored assists and modifications.
Dates and Themes:
June 20: Connect and Flow. We’ll break down the poses linked in sun salutations, explore how breath connects the poses, and refine our transitions from one pose to the next. We’ll close with a restorative pose to ground and center the body.
July 18: Yoga for the Chakras. Based on an ancient sequence attributed to the 10th/11th century teacher, Lady Niguma, this practice takes us through poses to unlock and balance the energetic system. We’ll work with breathing practices (pranayama) and visualizations as well as accessible physical poses to nourish
and calm the energetic system and mind.
August 15: Balance and Steadiness. We’ll build strength and balance in a variety of poses. In addition to standing poses, we will explore arm balances and/or inversions depending on participants’ interests. Modifications will always be offered. We’ll discuss ways to foster continuity within our practice with ideas for practicing at home and how to return to our practice after injuries or other life “interruptions.”
