Yoga is often associated with flexibility, but it encompasses so much more! This ancient practice involves multiple facets that go beyond what is typically taught in a regular yoga class. Join our Workshop Series,The Basics to discover and explore the deeper dimensions of yoga.
Week One January 5 : The Basics of the physical posture practice. This week focuses on the physical practice that most are familiar with. In this session, we will discuss alignment, asana theory, common alignment for different body types and the new hot topic of somatic yoga.
Week Two January 12 : The Basics of the energetic body. Learn about the energetic body and how it beautifully weaves together with the other layers of our experience. Learn how different energy practices can benefit the subtle body and influence the flow of energy.
Week Three January 19 : The Basics of Meditation. Learn about the mental layer of our experience, what meditation is, what it does for your brain and body, and different ways to practice meditation.
Week Four January 26 : The Basics of Yoga Philosophy. Get a general overview of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and how to apply these principles to your life to carry the "yoga high" off of your mat and into the other moments of life.
Week Five February 2 : The Basics of the spiritual layer of our practice and how opening up our consciousness to that which is bigger than ourselves can help us to connect to our own authenticity, inner joy and union with our higher Self. Christian, Hindu, Athiest, it matters not your belief system, this principle can apply to all.
