$60 MEMBER | $65 CASUAL
During this 2 hour practice, Kate will introduce you to the ancient Chinese concept of Wu Wei, the action of non-action, the effortless effort, a way of doing aligned with nature that moves without force or intention. Using the familiarity of our vinyasa yoga practice, you will be guided to move, breath and settle into stillness in a way that releases tension and force, to re-align with an easeful state of being.
As the outer world is often moving with push and desire, it is easy to bring this into our vinyasa practice. By re-experiencing the shapes of our vinyasa practice, we can choose to create a different experience for ourselves both on and off the mat. This offering will include asana, pranayama and meditation.
WHO’S THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
Yoga students interested in developing or deepening awareness of how they practice and move; to observe the experience created on and off the mat.
