Taught by Matthew & Larissa
Whether you’re on day 1 or 1,000 of your yoga journey, this workshop is for you!
In this workshop we’ll:
💎 Learn a bit about yogic philosophy and terminology.
💎 Take a look at the 3 main Bandhas and how we can use them to support our yoga practices.
💎 Learn about what Granthis, or energetic knots, are and how we can work with them to release energetic tension.
💎 Learn about the Chakra system, and specific movements that will help you move through energetic blocks.
💎 Physical tools to help support flow in our “energy body”:
*Mudras (particular hand postures and gestures)
*Mantra (sounds)
*Movement: certain movement patterns and/or yoga poses
A little info about Bandhas and Chakras (and Granthis, oh my!):
This is a workshop about what we call in yoga the ‘subtle bodies’, or energy. Not an easy thing to try to capture paper, but an important part of not only the yoga system, but just being human.
Bandha, a Sanskrit word, is translated as lock, and we can create these Bandhas in our bodies through certain physical actions. Bandha techniques involve concentrated muscular contractions, which temporarily restrict blood flow in certain areas, and when released, they stimulate fresh circulation! These techniques may flush away old cells, reinvigorate your organs through new blood flow, and help you create more space in your body for optimal breathing.
Chakra translates as wheel, and you can imagine these as energetic wheels spinning in certain areas of your body.
This workshop will bring these concepts together and show you ways to incorporate them into your regular practice.
We’ll add some big playful movements, along with small, subtle ways you can take care of your body, your energy, and your overall well-being. You’ll come away from this afternoon of play with a fresh perspective and new tools to work with, so you can bring new areas of growth into your regular practice.
Plus, we trust you’ll feel amazing after you give your body some physical and energetic love.
