We read about yoga being good for body, mind, and spirit, but what does that mean exactly? What is prana? What is kundalini? This workshop gives us a chance to discover our own answers to these questions through our own experience. We will practice some basic yoga postures and exercises, and discuss how these movements and flow of breath can help our physical health and well-being. We will also have the opportunity to meditate and chant, and learn how these various techniques can help us to be more clearheaded and focused. And we will challenge ourselves with a few more difficult exercises (not necessarily physically difficult), to help us dive deep into our souls and see what we're made of. (Hint: We're made of really good stuff!) For the beginner, this workshop can be a great introduction to the world of yoga and meditation. For more experienced practitioners, this workshop can help you to deepen and enrich your practice.
Fee is $35 per person PAID IN ADVANCE; $40 per person at the door.
