Iyengar Yoga: A space Odyssey


$50.00

This workshop will really be about penetrating the truth within ourselves. There are so many things to experience inside the postures beyond the stretch sensations, and one amazing opportunity the practice of postures and precise alignment in them allows for is the development of the courage to actually feel. It is so easy for a human being to stay "numbed out" in a variety of ways in our culture and society and we often go to great (and quite often unhealthy) lengths to avoid deep and profound feeling, especially when it involves discomfort. Practicing posture in the Iyengar method not only allows us to develop courage and confidence by improving our ability to process difficult situations, but it also helps remove our fear of discomfort by empowering us to act skillfully in the face of it. We gain a profound freedom when we are less driven by fear and aversion to pain and discomfort. We can move confidently through life knowing that our yoga, as Mr. Iyengar says, "helps us cure what need not be endured, and endure what cannot be cured." 
We need 10 to run this even so sign up in advance.
