From Responsibility to Ability to Respond

We begin our yoga odyssey as a dutiful, responsible student carrying out our teacher’s instructions. As practice deepens, we begin to observe that our actions have responses. At first we may notice that pressing down the knuckles in Adho Mukha Svanasana raises and straightens the arms. If the practice is alert, in time, we may trace that it also opens the chest, lowers the head and even moves the legs back & heels down. With further penetration we realize non-physical responses taking place: the quieting brain, the rhythmic breath. Reactions spread through the body like ripples in a pond affecting the seen surface but also the unseen depth of the hidden layers.
In time, we become a body of knowledge: integrated, whole and able to respond skillfully. In this workshop, we will guide you inward to observe, feel, cultivate and extend those responses.\
