Gravity & Grace: Resistance as your inner teacher.

Suitable for beginners and all levels.
Hatha yoga is a tool for meeting resistance in our bodies and thoughts in a productive way. How  one approaches this practice determines the quality yoga brings to our lives. During this class,  experience how the subtle external force of Gravity educates our  bodies, influencing our practice  through the power of surrender as we meet resistance in the physical body. This process  strengthens our intuition as we trust our feeling “minds”  (heart, navel), which opens us to  experience the subtle internal force of Grace, that appears as our relationship to resistance in the  psychological body deepens, and guidance is provided from the inner voice/inner teacher. With  this, we cultivate a truly  personal practice and the wisdom borne of our own experience. This type  of practice has the power to overcome deeply held patterns of contraction and imbalance, often  the result of previous injuries or overworking the major joints of the body, and is applicable to any  style of yoga.
