In this weekend retreat, we will explore a fluid interplay of dance, yoga, and meditation. This fusion of movement and meditation can be a powerful tool for individuals seeking to connect with their body, enhance focus, and cultivate a sense of inner peace.
We will explore multi-faceted movement explorations where we dance wildly and tenderly, deepen through breathwork and breath aligned asana, and settle with systematic relaxation and meditation. In this weekend retreat, we will explore a fluid interplay of dance, yoga, and meditation.
We use the movement practices of Open Floor, Yoga, Vishoka Meditation and breath awareness to help us:
- Move freely
- Unite mind, body and breath
- Cultivate healthy breathing & pranic sensitivity
- Draw the senses inward
- Come to rest in the source of joy & tranquility
Geordie & Lauren will invite you to listen and rest into a flow of awareness that is smooth, even, full, deep, silent and continuous.
No prior experience needed. All welcome!
