Description:
Movement is a a way to awaken our relationship with ourselves. Start from where you are, with ease and grace. Awaken and educate your body-wisdom through mindful awareness of breath and movement from your core outwards.
This is an intensive series to learn self-care on multiple levels (Structurally, Physiologically,and Emotionally) using the tools of awareness breath and movement with adaption and variations of Asana, adaptation of breath, and simple healing sounds.
Each weekend will offer a balanced approach focusing on various themes and practical applications of Viniyoga therapy for self-care such as: improving postural alignment, increasing structural stability, increasing range of motion, strengthening weak muscles, releasing crunch contractions, balancing muscular asymmetries, developing healthy movement patterns.
The First two retreats will focus on Healing – Yoga Chikitsa
January – Lower back, sacrum, hips, Knees, and feet
February – Upper back, neck shoulders, wrists, and hands
The last three will focus on Strengthening – Yoga Shikshana
March – Strengthening for the lower Back, Sacrum, Hips, Upper back, neck, and shoulders
April – Deeper attention to movement and the breath as a means to expand and strengthen the respiratory and cardiovascular system, support digestive system, and improve sleep
May – Bring it all together with a personal retreat weekend. Focusing on study of Yoga philosophy, inquiry, self reflection, and sharing in small groups. Let’s cultivate the sacred space together.
In addition to group experiences, the series includes: ‘clinics’ (individual treatments in front of the groups to look at clinical applications); a study of simple, applied anatomy; small group work to deepen the study of sequencing for healing movements; home study of prescribed movements to explore benefits and applications; and space for discussions and questions. Fridays will focus on participants looking to fulfill continuing education requirements
