“Smaller than the small, greater than the great,
the atma dwells in the cave of the heart of all creatures.”
~ Katha Upanishad
In Taoist and yogic philosophy, the Heart is considered the great empress and empty center that holds all things. It is essential due to its role in circulating blood and housing the “Shen” or “spirit.”
Through postures that open the shoulders and lungs and kindness meditation, we free the flow of blood and prana into the heart centre, helping us embody tranquillity and ease. During class, we begin with therapeutic somatic movements on the floor designed to create structural integration and somatic awareness. From there, we slowly move to active poses through intelligent and deliberate sequencing, then breath work and finish with heart-centred meditation.
This immersion is open to all levels.
Class is two hours and includes a talk and practice session.
