Our organs are deep reservoirs of individual and universal consciousness.They contain our dreams, emotions, personal stories, and collective memories. Our organs provide a spiralic support of our spine, enable our verticality, and give us depth, volume, and humanity.
Each organ expresses its own unique qualities: the heart is supple, resilient and generous; the liver is firm, decisive and resolute; and the kidneys are fluid and tranquil. Through our digestive tract we choose what we will—and will not—take in, absorb, and release.
In this workshop, we will explore our individual organs as well as our organ-system as a whole. We will incorporate organ awareness into a whole-body yoga practice. Through sensing and feeling we will learn to initiate movement from the organ body, significantly softening our expression in asana and vinyasa.
Fully inhabiting our organ body offers deep ease and comfort. We begin to feel truly three dimensional and can approach more challenging postures in a fluid and more effortless manner. This exploration is also an invaluable addition in our ongoing quest for healing and compassionate self-knowledge.
