We embody a variety of internal rhythms – the heart beat, digestion, lymphatic flow, etc – and dropping our focus inside will help us locate, understand and enhance wave-like spinal pulsation, one of our body’s most elusive rhythms, and one of the three foundational concepts in Vanda Scaravelli’s approach to Hatha yoga.
In this introductory workshop, we’ll ground and rest, breathe, roll about, bounce and shake, circle and wiggle, all in serious fun, all as means of experiencing the rhythmic elongation of the spine. Everyone is welcome!
Monday, March 3, The South Hall, Galiano Island, 3:00pm-5:00pm, $25, joan.henriques76@gmail.com, 250-539-3016.
I admire how you weave playfulness into your teaching in such an intelligent way. Your ability to trust the process and create an open, exploratory space is obviously rooted in wisdom, experience, and a remarkably humble-confidence in yoga. Thank you for creating such a supportive and inspiring environment, where play and discovery are allowed to unfold. J. Newberry
Monica Voss began practising hatha yoga in 1978 and was a student of Esther Myers, Vanda Scaravelli and Mary Stewart. She takes inspiration from her studies with these three remarkable dedicated women, from complementary modalities, from her own interest in the body, and from the natural world. Monica is committed to an individualistic, personal, reflective approach to yoga based on the principles of grounding, breathing and the release of the spine. She co-owns Esther Myers Yoga Studio in Toronto, Canada, and continues to teach workshops, retreats and teacher training internationally.
