About this Event
Transitions, whether seasonal, personal, or professional, can make us feel ungrounded, unsettled, and unbalanced. However, just as the trees use their roots to stay grounded while their branches sway gracefully to the Autum’s wind, we can use gentle movement and slow breath to root and slow down, to ground, to rest…learning to dance elegantly with these changes.
Join me for a relaxing afternoon this Fall, during which we will tune our movement and breath to the Fall/Vata season and cultivate space for stillness, silence, and deep rest. We will also cover seasonal self-care practices that can help us stay grounded, balanced, and centred.
This 2-hour workshop is divided into practical (movement-based) & theoretical (lecture-based) parts.
The practical section includes:
Slow, grounded, gentle and meditative movement
