Dynamics within Statics - Sunday, June 7th, 2:00-4:30pm
An exploratory workshop with Birgit Reimer, following the yoga lineage of B.K.S. Iyengar and Ben Thomas. All levels.

The practice of asanas is not merely physical - asana practice offers us an opportunity to explore the self. This exploration is known as the threefold quest (sadhana) in yogic terms. Sadhana is the fine and close work on and with the self, for the Self. This quest is an inward journey from the outer to the inner, and from the inner to the innermost layers of the self.

In this workshop, we will explore the sadhana through:

• asana foundations (outer quest) such as alignment and balance,
• inner spaciousness, as felt and sensed by, with, and through the breath, the withdrawal of the senses inward, and concentration (inner quest), and
• deeper levels of practice, by holding the poses to increase the ability to reflect and experience the dynamics within statics (innermost quest).

In addition, the application of sound forms will bring students into the sphere of vibration and allow expanded awareness of the space within.

This workshop is a well-rounded yogic experience which includes a refined asana practice, pranayama, some chanting, and meditation.

$40 if pre-paid by June 1st; $45 after June 1st.

All levels are welcome, although some experience of asana practice is appreciated.
