Introduction to Embodyoga®|Whole-Body Integration and Alignment from the Inside Out

Embodyoga® integrates asana, pranayama and meditation into a deeply fulfilling movement practice.  An accessible and progressive system of discovery, it incorporates the structure of traditional Hatha Yoga, Tantric philosophy, and a revolutionary investigation into the inner workings of body and mind, as presented by the School for Body-Mind-Centering.  This workshop offers Embodyoga's® basic principles, as well as practices for balancing the nervous system and gaining an experience of true mind-body unity, including:

  • Utilizing Embodied Anatomy™ and Embodied Developmental Movement™ to directly experience the many layers of being, including cellular awareness, glands and chakras, and the body’s systems
  • Embodying the organs and glands in movement and in stillness
  • Embodying the diaphragms, bandhas, chakras and kosas (sheaths of consciousness) in asana
  • Fundamentals of breathing/pranayama
  • Healthy function and movement for bones, muscles, ligaments, and joints

Through direct, embodied experience and enabling true flow between body and mind, practitioners of all levels and yoga styles can radically deepen their field of awareness and open to a fuller vision of all that they are.
