In this unique workshop we will explore what ancient culture understood as the energy maps of the body as well as their relationship to the physical experience to gain a deeper understanding of how and why the practice of yoga works. We will discuss the concepts of yin and yang; the opposing forces that each of us contain and have the power to harness and effectively use to ground, change and heal. Understanding Prana and Chi ( life-force ), as well as the Nadis ( the energy channels )will be an integral focus in this workshop. Just as a yang ( fast. moving ) practice encourages strong muscles, a toned and cleansed body - a yin approach balances by moving life force to the joints, the connective tissues, ligaments and tendons. During this practice we will hold, pause and remain in supported poses for up to 5 minutes. With static movement; time is a catalyst for a revealing look at the emotional body. This approach often dissolves the congested flow of vital energy throughout the body and encourages immediate healing. All levels welcome! Preregistration Recommended!
