The energy field of your heart is 5,000 times stronger than your brain. This workshop explores the physical, energetic and emotional support of the heart. We will work with embodying the heart’s strength and support in the practice of asana and vinyasa and connect with its courage, tenderness, resilience and wisdom in the practice of life.
Come and explore how your heart is exquisitely fluid, soft and flexible – and why it is not a pump. Investigate how you could not breathe without your blood and how to increase vitality and free prana throughout your body. Cultivate the organic support of your heart and lungs and discover how asana is easier, lighter and stronger. Refine your practice to suit your unique body rhythms, individual needs and stage of life. Learn how to apply this rich embodied knowledge in a practical way and breathe new life into your practice and teaching.
This workshop includes meditations on self-compassion, gratitude and joy as well as physical practices that support stillness, flow and resilience. It is an opportunity to connect with your heart centre and experience yourself being held by the kindness of the moment.
Everyone is welcome. No previous experience is necessary.
We will use music, short lectures and visual presentations to support your learning. Uncover the layers you may have laid down over the past few years and come play, move, breathe, and rest.
‘Love is always loving you’
