Flow at own your personal pace through yoga poses that help you transition from the late Summer warmth to the coming cooler months of Autumn. Deep stretches of the hips and low back, balanced with calming forward folds help the body find ease and expansion. This Late Summer session is dedicated to the elements of water and earth, where we ground ourselves in the stability of our bones, while finding a fluidity in our movements that reflect the changing season.
Release long-held tension through throat and belly-centered sighing and self-soothing sound-making, which ushers in the practice of chanting mantra. Opt to join in with this vocal expression or lay back and receive the healing vibrations of sound.
Bring awareness and care to your body as you are guided through gentle self-massage and reiki.
Beginners and seasoned practitioners alike will benefit from the wisdom gained in this workshop, where deep breathing practices, mudras (hand gestures), and meditation are woven throughout the session to lead you to a heightened state of awareness.
Yoga encompasses so much more than simply the poses we often see in the media. This is a unique opportunity to expand your understanding of these ancient, sacred practices where you are encouraged to ask questions, experiment, and explore your edge.
Rediscover your connection to Source through these rituals of yoga as well as an oracle card reading, with which we close our circle.
