Deep Roots of Freedom
A Weekend with Mary Taylor & Richard Freeman
When we practice yoga consistently something magical happens. We begin to feel free. Free from confusion and neurotic tendencies that keep us stuck. Free from obstacles that block our natural intelligence, and that limit our capacity to awaken into a fully embodied state.
In this workshop we will reignite the powerful expression of seemingly opposite patterns working together to awaken the fully embodied experience within the moment at hand. We will explore how the Ashtanga Vinyasa system is integral to this awakening, following an empty thread of awareness through and between postures, focusing on the intentional sequence of form, thought, movement, and breath that frees the mind, awakens the central channel, and allows a meditative flowing practice to naturally arise.
