In the midst of summertime sequencing through an Ayurvedic lens, we're exploring the elements of space and earth in our yoga. Space offers an opportunity to slow down, reflect, expand, and air out the body. Earth provides the stability that allows for expansion. In yoga, the earth element is accessed through strong standing postures, poses where the hands and feet are rooted to the ground. Flow yoga is a gentle type of yoga that features fluid movement, vinyasa, and twists. It will generate warmth to help move lymph, increase circulation of blood and prana (life-force energy), and clear the mind. Weather permitting, we will be practicing on the front lawn of the Everhart in beautiful Nay Aug Park. To register, click here.
