These biweekly workshops will introduce various stances (static standing postures), karanas (dynamic, spiraling movements integrating the limbs and spine), and subtle body cues based on principles of Shadow Yoga. You will be guided through a simple and safe, yet challenging and effective practice to build strength and suppleness in the body, breath and mind. These workshops are suitable for beginners and insightful to experienced practitioners.
Each workshop will have a different theme and focus. And to help you navigate these challenging times, there will be a mini yoga nidra portion to soothe the nervous system.
No prerequisites. All levels welcome. You can take all 4 or whichever date suits your schedule.
