TGIF! What a week!
TGIF! What a week!
We welcomed a new administration into the White House (including Madame Vice President!) and the heaviness in my heart for the last four years is beginning to slowly lighten as my exhale is fuller longer and more complete. Here’s to hope, progress, love, and healing with the breath as we continue to move forward through it all with acute awareness for a balanced life, helping others and ourselves along the way.
Join me for 2 workshops focusing on the breath body.
We will take an in-depth creative look into our respiratory process and anatomy directly related to it. We will look at our mental and emotional bodies in response to this breath practice. We spend time in our asana practice on observing muscles, nerves, and facial movement - Why not focus deeper on the movement of the breath? Treat yourself to the focused time to meet your dear friend the breathe in ways to move your prana “life force “ to aide you into expansion. Each of us must decide for ourselves which method steers us closest to yoga’s ultimate gift: the ease, balance, and inner quiet that help us see into the very heart of life. And now is the time to understand the fundamentals of pranayama.
Pranayama, the formal practice of directing the breath, lies at the heart of yoga.
It has a mysterious power to soothe and revitalize a tired body, a flagging spirit, or a wild mind. The ancient sages taught that prana, the vital force circulating through us, can be cultivated and channeled through a variety of breathing exercises. In the process, the mind is calmed, rejuvenated, and uplifted. Pranayama serves as an important bridge between the outward, active practices of yoga-like asana—and the internal, surrendering practices that lead us into deeper states of meditation.
The series of these 2 workshops are building off of each other. They can be taken together or individually. You will need comfortable clothes, a yoga mat, pillows, and a chair. (Yoga belt and notebook optional). These workshops will have a theory, slow physical movement, and lots of breathing!
I hope you come breathe with me!
