Drawing on traditional and contemporary practices, this will be a fun and cathartic journey to engineer states of flow and joy. Connecting to others, deeper states of self, and to our center of joy, the session will consist of:An open and closing guided meditation
Pranayama (breathwork)
A vinyasa yoga flow incorporating elements of qi gong
Vocal improvisation and laughter practice
Group singing
Sharing circle
This month we will be working with the theme of flow. As we smoothly glide on the flow of breath, we encourage you to find ease as you transition between different physical poses and gestures, and varying mental states.
This adventure will be both revitalizing and profoundly silly. In a space free of judgment, we encourage you to find your inner child as we dance, laugh, and make noise together.
THE VENUE DOES NOT SUPPLY MATS SO PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN
With ongoing cases of COVID-19, we require you to have a negative lateral flow test before entering. The room will be well ventilated and we will do our best to be mindful of social distancing. There will also be a temperature check on entry.
