In this workshop we will focus on harnessing the power of our breath.
We will explore:
- How to become aware of our breath and breathing patterns.
- How to initiate movement by focusing on the intrinsic micro movements of inhalation and exhalation, thus facilitating ease in movement.
- How to play with the breath in various techniques and ratios to create different relaxing and/or focusing states of mind.
- How to use breathing in combination with sound to help make the breath 'audible'.
- How to use mantra as a manifestation of breath and life force to direct our mind in a chosen direction.
This workshop is for anyone who would like to explore yoga, breathing and sound. It addresses all practitioners, from beginner to long time student, as well as yoga teachers. Hand-outs will be available to facilitate home practicing of the learned tools. There will be time for questions and discussion throughout the workshop, and individual practitioners' needs are taken into consideration with alternatives offered when appropriate.
The workshop will include a delicious and healthful ayurvedic meal taken together at the end!
