This workshop is designed to teach and practice the flexibility principles that accompany passive stretching by allowing breath, relaxation, and gravity to enhance our flexibility practice. We will focus on enhancing flexibility through the upper and lower back, hips, and legs through a series of postures and stretches that will be held in a yin-like class structure.
Targeting relearning flexibility from a place of active relaxation. This workshop will focus on drawing on the breath to help deepen flexibility while also learning what flexibility means for you. Most people when originally taught flexibility are taught an active form of stretching that pushes and pulls to enhance the flexibility of the body. My intention with this course is to move the nervous system from sympathetic to parasympathetic to help indicate to the body and mind that you are safe and capable of relaxing to allow gravity to draw your body deeper into postures. By cultivating a parasympathetic nervous system response through our breath, our body slowly releases tensions that help it feel safe and eventually draws closer to our flexibility goals. As we sink deeper into our flexibility and release any tension we are holding in specific areas of our body, the releases may be accompanied by emotional and spiritual releases. Thereby clearing space and allowing us to invite new intentions for our bodies and our lives.
