Offered for 6 weeks: October 18, 25 / November 1,8,15,22
This class is about listening to the body and focusing on form and breathwork to create a moving meditation. We will combine pranayama (breathwork practices) with a gentle flow, to create a space of solace from stress and anxiety. The class will be a mixture of hatha postures and dynamic sequences, with lots of variations and alternatives, allowing students to shape their own practice. Some classes will also end with sound baths before silent meditation. - 11/22FridayFriday, November 22, 2024
