How We Will Grow Together:
Focus: The spring equinox offers us a potent opportunity to shed lingering inertia, create greater balance and cultivate the energy needed for new beginnings. We'll use the transformative tools of Pranakriya Yoga to mindfully prepare for personal and collective expansion.
The Practices: Prepare for pranayama, meditative posture and yoga workout classes, seated meditations, and integration. Accessible practices will be led and facilitated by Pam Blum, Emily Gretz, Shelbi Miles, and Vlad Tchakarov.
The Setting: Village Yoga, nestled on the Currituck Sound within the alluring sandbars of North Carolina’s Outer Banks (1240 Duck Road, Second Floor, Duck, NC 27948). Please note the studio is accessible by stairs only.
The Community: This intimate weekend is designed for those ready to embrace the powerful transition from winter’s introspection to spring’s active growth. We welcome dedicated practitioners ready for transformation and yoga teachers seeking continuing education.
What We Will Explore Together:
Obstacles to Growth: To grow, we must first identify and clear the "weeds" or "rocks" in our soil. In yoga, these obstacles often manifest as imbalances in the four fundamental aims of life including Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.
Ancient Wisdom, Accessible Actionable Practice: As we move from winter's introspection to spring's action, we will weave in short, powerful excerpts and quotes from the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and Tantra that illuminate the symbolism of growth, trees, and transformation, ensuring maximum time on the mat.
You are the Seed of Source: Experience a guided journey and meditation to connect with your deepest, most authentic source of being. This practice will be followed by journaling and discussion to help reveal your personal foundational truths.
