The Core in Motion

In this workshop, we will take time to understand, feel and integrate core awareness and stability into a flowing and energizing practice. From this increased awareness, students will be guided through a flow, exploring how to integrate the energetic, structural and muscular center into the body in motion so that we may feel a sense of ease, rest and peace within the very center of our aliveness.  We will conclude our time together with a series of restorative and silent poses, using pranayama (breath regulation) practices to better listen, accompany and settle body and mind.
