"You must be fueled by a burning desire to continuously study the Self, which is only available in the present moment, and to devote yourself wholly to this effort - these are the actions to be taken to attain Yoga." -Patanjali Yoga Sutra 2:1

SEAM OPENER: SIDE BODY EXPANSION & STRENGTH
WITH JENNIFER CAMPBELL-OVERBEEKE
SUNDAY, MAY 22ND  2:00-4:30PM

When we bring attention to the release and connection of the side body we experience a sense of ease like no other. Join Jennifer Campbell-Overbeeke and find more space for deeper diaphragmatic breathing, release of tension and draw a deeper, more conscious connection to what it means to move from center.

This physical exploration will include mindful core-strengthening exercises, subsequently deeper side openers and twists that evolve from yang to yin in nature. Following asana, practice easeful pranayama and meditation to experience the space created and cleanse the main energetic channels of the body.
Open to all levels. One year of consistent yoga practice recommended. $40
