“I have been teaching vinyasa yoga for over 15 years to hundreds of students andI am all too familiar with watching people, rush, struggle, and move there bodies in compromising ways in their yoga practice. This, in combination with my belief that vinyasa yoga empowers people, moment by moment, breath by breath, to move beyond there limited beliefs of who they are and step into the lives in a a new and more empowered way, inspired me to teach this 6 week series.” - Sofi Dillof

Loving What Is - An Exploration Into The Hips

 September 18, 9 am-12 pm, $45 at Laughing River Yoga

This workshop is now full.

Understanding leads to acceptance. This 3 hour mini retreat will explore the anatomical, emotional, and psychic/spiritual dimensions of the hips.

The information you learn in this workshop will serve to inform and enrich your yoga practice, bring awareness to habitual patterns that may be contributing to psychical discomfort, and help to create a safe space to explore some of our deeper help emotions.

Long hours of sitting, physical exercises such as running as biking, and emotional stress and tension can often result in tight hips. Other times, what we experience as ‘tightness’ is merely our natural skeletal structure. Understanding what the state of your hips are will lead to the ability to skillfully and effectively work with them leading to greater space, freedom and happiness in the body, as well a the mind.

4 week Lifeforce Yoga workshop at VTCYP

LifeForce Yoga is a practice of compassion that helps us to become less 'stuck' in our moods and to cultivate a greater sense of self awareness and self acceptance

Through breath work, sound repetitions, simple postures, and relaxation techniques LifeForce yoga empowers us to take control of our more difficult moods. In this 4 week series you will learn practices which energize and reduce feelings of lethargy and depression as well as practices which calm, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.

Through these simple yet profound techniques we will work to create the space within to feel our essence of connection and wholeness. LifeForce Yoga is adapted to the student, so each individual can move into a balanced emotional, mental, and physical state of equanimity and well being. This practice is perfect for beginners and for those who have done Yoga before.
