Often we come to yoga practice to improve our health, tone our bodies, or quiet the mind, but the actual mechanisms of how this happens can be difficult to understand. In this course we will examine and experience the flow of prana, or life force, as the core healing energy of yoga practice. Difficult to pin down in concept and experience, the healing and enlivening potential of yoga hinges on the proper application of yogic tools to channel and cultivate prana, which is the foundation of all life. In a step-by-step fashion, we will integrate the tools of yoga and learn more how to be aware of prana and how to cultivate it.

AcroYoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics.

Since the beginning of time, people have danced! Ingrained in the body is a language, a language which needs no words. This workshop is about communicating to others and more importantly communicating to ourselves through movement, through dance. Dancing technique is of no importance in this workshop. What is important is an open mind and an honest heart. Through movement exercises we will learn to let go of our judgments and inhibitions in order to allow our body to speak its natural language. As our body speaks to us, we will begin to understand, who we really are.
