Shiva/Shakti Hips & Heart
Double Workshop with Rose Erin Vaughan
UNLOCKING THE MAGIC: HIPS KNEES ANKLES
Unlocking the Magic: Hips Knees Ankles: All levels 3 hour intensive. Opening the lower body, Hips and Pelvis allows you to tap into an infinite resource of energy or Shakti. While going deep is not always pleasant, it will ultimately take you higher and bring a new force into your asana practice and your life. We begin with a thorough strengthening warm-up to deep heat the joints. Then, through practice you will learn how to use anatomy, meridians and acu-points to unlock lines of tension in the hips, legs, knees and ankles. These areas are the foundation of the body and can retain old emotional patterns. We will use longer meditative hip-deepening holds to unlock and let it flow. There will be time for individual therapeutic work and advanced variations. We end with Mantra to activate and empower the Kundalini Shakti.
SURRENDER TO THE HEART
This ALL-LEVELS workshop will focus on relaxing the deep heart and stretching and strengthening surrounding muscles and joints to bring about authentic awakening of the heart and throat chakras. We will incorporate vinyasa, asana, pranayama, chanting, and longer meditative holds. Meridian based exercises help open the thoracic and cervical spine, the rotator-cuff muscles and release stagnant energy and emotions in the upper chakras. You will gain an understanding of anatomy and meridien-based emotional flow to help deal with the flood of sensations that often arise when working with the neck and shoulders. After the body is thoroughly warmed, longer holds of poses allow a deeper level of change leading to meditative awareness. We end with Mantra to awaken Compassion and Joy allowing expansion and radiance of heart energy to connect with others.
