FEATURED WORKSHOPS

Winter Warmer with James Foulkes

 

Saturday, December 13th | 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST | In-Studio | Cost: $60

During the winter months our energies tend to naturally be drawn inwards as nature becomes still and the cold weather and long nights draw in. But something deeper is at work.

​

The water energy of winter is an expression of maximum Yin and responsiveness. We will balance the Yin nature of the gentle cleansing Yoga stretches and breathwork with complementary Yang Qi Gong practices, whilst using meditation, to support the sustaining of our energetic field through the colder months working with the active kidney and bladder energy.

 

This time is also one of incubating ideas and intentions to manifest in the spring. We will establish multi-layered intentions to blossom in the forthcoming year by peering into the shadows of Winter through journeying.

Four Seasons of Forest Bathing

with Susan West Montgomery

Saturday, December 20th | 3:00pm - 4:30pm EST | Rock Creek Park | $40

Follow the Wheel of the Year with seasonal forest bathing sessions in Rock Creek Park!

 

Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is a Japanese wellness practice that helps individuals access the healing properties of nature.

 

These can be especially powerful during the times of transition offered by the changing seasons. Each walk will follow a different route, but all will allow us to experience this familiar landscape at
different times of the year.

 

You will be invited to slow down, to be curious, and to touch, smell, hear, and see nature more fully. The walks will not be strenuous but requires the ability to walk a mile or so on uneven surfaces.

​

​

How can we find unity outside if we don’t know what it feels like within ourselves?

​

Every one of us was born with innate and intelligent whole body patterns.  Your asana practice is the perfect playground for revisiting and exploring these embodied memories.

​

Wholistic movement encourages you to feel into and trust connective capacity within. Breathing practices invite you to drop into deeper layers of unifying experience. Yoga nidra promotes renewal beyond your conscious mind. Meditation guides you toward more expansive and permeating consciousness. Partner inquiry deepens our capacity for dancing in the relational universe.

​

Core teachings from yogic texts will aid our journey in navigating the pulsation between unity and diversity. The Bhagavad Gita guides us how to proceed when we feel frozen, standing at the precipice of a battle with our relations. The Pratyabhijnahrdayam maps out universal expansion and contraction – and shows us how to journey from forgetting back to remembering essence.

​

This knowledge – passed down through living wisdom streams – illuminates the veils of illusion that keep us small, separate, and stuck. Now more than ever we are being invited, initiated and empowered to live and act from embodied connection!

This is a HYBRID workshop.
