SATYA: Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement
Advertisement
Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement (SATYA), created by Tias Little of Prajna Yoga, guides students away from “doing” movement and toward sensing, feeling, and “being” movement. The movements are done on the floor in a flowing fashion without force to increase somatic awareness. The exercises are non-weight bearing and involve sliding, gliding, and circular movements to balance the body’s structure, reduce tension and fatigue and boost immunity. No prior yoga experience is necessary.
Between the headlines, the notifications, and the run-up to the holidays, many of us are living from the neck up: scanning, bracing, scrolling. This workshop is an invitation to unplug from the virtual news cycle and tune into your own body's tangible sensations. Through slow, small, rhythmic movements, you’ll practice noticing what’s happening inside you without needing to fix or push. We’ll spend most of our time on the floor and close with supported, restful postures.
A trauma-informed space. Every movement is offered as an invitation--You choose how much to do, when to rest, and whether to receive any hands-on support.
Before class: After you register, you’ll receive a short optional questionnaire so Heather can get to know you and come prepared with suggestions tailored to you.
Please note: Because much of this practice is done lying on the back, it isn’t recommended for those 16 or more weeks pregnant. If you have a health condition or concern, please check with your healthcare provider.
*Price: $50 / $40 for Ahimsa members
