~UNEARTHING THE BEAUTIFUL

The creative unfolding of our yoga practice can lend itself to some pretty miraculous experiences. In this series we will pause, reflect, unpack, and unfold various aspects of our practice so that we can return to the mat in the context of a class with a little more depth and dimension. 

April 5- Constructing the Container- 

Foundations, parameters, geometry, and shapes- this intensive looks at the structures we create to house our practice- because safety and intentionality are of utmost importance when opening up to what is strong and wild but often vulnerable and uncharted. 

April 12-  Inverting the Shape-
This intensive playfully and intelligently addresses the mechanics of inversions and the psychology of turning things on their heads.

April 19- All Things Heart-
Opening, pumping, and beyond, the heart is the wildest creature of them all... how to open safely and securely and addressing parallel patterning in the spine that can have everything to do with the armor we have erected for protection along the way. 

April 26- Assist to Ascend- 
This intensive looks, in great detail, at the sheer mastery of giving (and receiving) the artful assist. 

May 3- Breath, Bandha, and Beyond-
The physical practice drops us off at the gate of the subtle body. Weaving in to our practice a dance with the invisible through pranayama, bandha and meditation can be that thing that catapults our consciousness to another level entirely.

We will approach these topics from an angle of tradition, science, anatomy, architecture, literature and the ever widening circle of what it is to dance in the presence of awareness.
