When we practice yoga consistently something magical happens. We begin to feel free. Free from confusion and neurotic tendencies that keep us stuck. Free from obstacles that block our natural intelligence, and that limit our capacity to awaken into a fully embodied state. In this workshop we will reignite the powerful expression of seemingly opposite patterns working together to awaken the fully embodied experience within the moment at hand. We will explore how the Ashtanga Vinyasa system is integral to this awakening, following an empty thread of awareness through and between postures, focusing on the intentional sequence of form, thought, movement, and breath that frees the mind, awakens the central channel, and allows a meditative flowing practice to naturally arise.
Saturday will be guided āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation practices with a focus on foundational wave patterns of movement, form and thought that make the ashtanga vinyasa inspired practice supportive, safe, strong, and supple.
Sunday’s morning class will be a Mysore style practice in which you can apply the subtleties of practice covered on Saturday to your personal practice with feedback and assistance along the way. Sunday afternoon will focus on prāṇāyāma followed by time for Q&A. Open to students of all levels
