Scheudle and Workshops

Directions, Registration, and Questions

Part I - Challenging Perspectives December 11, 2004 from 2 to 5 PM. Exploring how we move into, or away from, challenge, fear, and stress using balance and inversion.
Part II - Moving Forward January. 15, 2005 from 2 to 5 PM. Opening the hips to the emotions of moving forward, retreating, and living in purpose.
Part III - Surrendering to Love February 5, 2005 from 2 to 5 PM. How do you express love? Working into the shoulders, chest and upper back to open the doors of the heart.

Explore our own responses to poses many of us find challenging like inversions and balances. Finding both safety and challenge we may find ourselves able to go further than we've gone before and to understand the limits which hold us back from going even further. These limits may be physical, emotional, or mental and we will learn ways of gaining greater insight into each.
There will also be handouts giving information on connections between various parts of the body and mental/emotional energy that gets stored in the body's cells.
There will be time for sharing, partner work, and work on your own.
Bring a yoga mat and blanket if you have them. Bring a notebook or journal as well.

Work into asanas that access the hips, mainly the muscles of extension and flexion. Our upper legs and buttocks relate to both our physical capacity to move forward and to retreat as well as to our emotional relationship towards moving forward into our life and taking time to stay still, rest, and take stock of where we are. On a physical level, sitting in chairs for long periods of time can lead to habitual shortening of both the hip flexors (illiopsoas) and the hip extensors (hamstrings) which can lead to pain and postural problems, especially with the lower back. On an emotional level, many of us may wish to move into new endeavors which feel more in alignment with our soul purpose and yet we are unsure of our ability to do it, where to start, or what will happen when we do. This workshop can help with both the physical and emotional connections of the hips to your life.

Move into the shoulders, upper back, arms and hands as we connect the body with our ability to access love, giving, fear, and resentment. Why fear and resentment? Usually when the flow of love and giving/receiving in our lives is not as free and flowing as we'd like, fear and resentment can be found and may be what's blocking the flow. So we move into and through the blocks, both physical and emotional that have taken hold in and around the heart center of the body.
