Upcoming Workshops
Within you, heaven, earth, and human are one.
While yoga has its roots in Indian Vedic scriptures, Qi Gong grew out of the Chinese Taoist pursuit of longevity. In this workshop we will explore the Taoist concept of “effortless flow” through Qi Gong exercises, and then bring the same ease of motion into sequences from Yoga of Energy Flow. While the movements in both forms are graceful and gentle, the effects are powerful, detoxifying the body while increasing strength, flexibility, and peace of mind.
This program focuses on
• Breathing exercises to enhance life energy
• The Eight Brocades, Swimming Dragon, and other qigong practices to open the meridians
• Meditative flow in yoga asana
• Concentration techniques for mental clarity.
• Recommendations for a simple and transformative home practice
Celebrate the holiday with a friend or partner, or feel free to attend alone, as we stretch and open blocked areas of the body. The partner stretching draws on a modern stretching technique called PNF/resistance stretching, while Shiatsu Massage involves gentle finger and hand pressure, acupressure release points, and comfortable joint manipulations. This is an unbeatable combination, which reduces muscle tension, increases flexibility, enhances circulation, helps alleviate lower back pain, and improves balance and coordination. In the end you will feel more relaxed and energized, guaranteed!
When the body flows like running water, it is always renewed, always fresh. This is true freedom.
Integrating strength training, energy cultivation, and open awareness, Yoga of Energy Flow is a unique and transformative yoga method. We will work with breath, movement, asana, and mental focus to experience simple but powerful ways to balance the flow of life force in our body, mind, and spirit. As tension melts, we tune to the inner dance and the heart begins to sing; we "flow" and the life energy of Prana flows through us, connecting us to heaven and earth, sun and moon, and all of nature.
