Becoming Real Through the Body
It is said that the body is a temple, yet the importance of our own physical body as messenger and healer is often underestimated.  In this adapted chair yoga series you will learn a systematic series of movements which create flow in the physical and subtle body, deepen breath capacity and balance the nervous system.  Principles such as listening to oneself, non-violence, and working to the edge without straining will be introduced.  Through practicing gentle, yet engaging movements, we create a doorway for self acceptance and support -- awakening the possibility for change and mindful choices.  If spirit so moves us, after warming up with chair yoga, we will use dance therapy techniques to briefly explore the joy of expression, encourage connection to the earth and sky, honor community, and celebrate each one of us -- calling the heart back home!
Please join us to energize your morning and dance through the day!
