Dial into Flow State with Funky Buddha

Dial Up, Dial Down, Dial In; Deepening Your Practice Workshop

March 10th, 1:30-4:00pm in Eastown

We say it all the time, but what the Funk does it even mean to “Dial” our practice?

Funky Buddha yoga classes are designed for each person, at whatever place they are in on their yoga journey, to practice as a Sangha (community.) To do this, you’ll often hear our Funky teachers offering opportunities to “Dial Up,” “Dial Down,” or “Dial In” with a posture. So what does that mean for your practice?

Dial UP usually refers to incorporating more strength and doesn’t always mean ‘harder’: sometimes it means removing a difficult addition to a pose to make it more accessible, so you can build into a feeling of success (and no pain) in the pose.
 
Dial DOWN lends an opportunity to find ease, or balance, and this doesn’t always mean ‘easier’; sometimes it means working on a small details to LIGHT UP a muscle group that needs a little love! (and a little blood flow)
 
Dial IN refers to the acts of mindfulness we can have to: figure out how to make a pose work for YOU, rather than trying to make your body fit into a pose.

In this mindful workshop we’ll work with different transitions and poses to making them more:

  • Grounded and stable for more ease
    • While incorporating more concentrated effort!
  • Purposefully unbalanced for more strength building
    • By creating new patterns for your muscles to work with; yay for new growth!
  • Unique and interesting, to engage your mind and body in new ways
    • If it’s part of your practice, maybe even igniting your energy-body in new ways!

 

During Funky Buddha Yoga Workshops, you’ll have the opportunity to practice these techniques, ask questions, get assistance, and learn with our amazing community!

We’ll turn the heat down (usually gets down to about 80°), so plan to get a little sweaty, have some fun, and end with deep rest to allow alllll of your learnings to land in your body and mind. We hope to see you at this fun and informative workshop <3
