EMBODYING THE ORGANS AS KEYSTONES OF VITALITY IN THE PRACTICE OF YOGA
Our organs are part of our internal environment and inform our movement. The vitality of our organs is reflected in our external form. The organs are the contents, offering volume, fluidity, and three dimensionality. Through movement they countersupport and balance each other. When embodied they illuminate internal relationships and connectivity, from inner to outer expression, and support for the limbs and spine.
This module will explore how the organs express organic flow, and new pathways of connection and alignment within our practice. Classes are based on Body-Mind Centering® foundations, as a basis for experiencing ourselves in the practice of yoga.
