Next up! 6/4, 7/9, 9/10, 10/29, 11/12 1 - 3:30pm at The Yoga Tree. Scroll down for details.
Svadyaya is the yogic principle for living that teaches self-study. Discover yourself through your body, the primary way of knowing. 
The process: I'm so excited to share these workshops which are rooted in the Feldenkrais Method® Awareness Through Movement, as well as yoga. Each workshop includes
  • An exploration of the structure and function of anatomy in the context of movement (how you do what you do, and why)
  • Two or three movement sessions that will improve your relationship with yourself relative to the area of focus.
  • Time to reflect and make connections/ask questions
  • Each session will be recorded and made available to participants

​The purpose: Having greater awareness of our own anatomy and self-use can help us find greater strength, effectiveness, and also decrease and prevent pain.  This awareness can improve your options for how you find poses in yoga, your golf swing, how you sit, and even how you think about yourself in movement. After class sessions, students report experiencing a general improvement in their sense of wellbeing and comfort, greater confidence, and a sense of effortless posture. I recommend a quiet day after attending a workshop.

Bring your curiosity, your awareness, your coffee or tea, a notebook if you would like, and wear your yoga clothes with layers for warmth. You will find your own deep insights through these facilitated lessons (think playful, slow, exploratory floor work), and an opportunity for learning that will influence how you move through life.

Self-Study

Svadyaya is the yogic principle for living that teaches self-study. Discover yourself through your body, the primary way of knowing. Work with our root chakra, the source of our foundation of movement and interaction, physically, but on all levels.
