Workshop Description:

 

The Art of Yoga Making it Your Own

Along with the universal truths and the fundamental aspects of Yoga—the science—there exists a vast array of authentic, effective approaches, some of them existing in seeming contradiction to one another. Our journey, then, involves adopting the elements that resonate most deeply within, and letting go the rest.


No yoga style, technique or teacher is suited to everyone, and the ultimate aim of our yoga practice—or any endeavor—is to weave together the methods that allow us to best serve Spirit, thereby ‘making it our own’. In doing so, we create art, make love, and accelerate evolution: our highest callings. Yoga doesn’t care how you get there, but you must ‘work out your own path with diligence’, in the words of the Buddha.


Join us as we discuss, explore and create our very own practice during this informative and liberating session. All levels welcome, from novice to ‘advanced’-if ‘advanced’, bring your beginner’s mind along with your mat
