Join visiting instructors Tias Little and Surya Little of Prajna Yoga for a very special weekend of workshops at Green Yogi!
The region just below the navel is the center of gravity in the body. Called the hara in zen, the dantian in qi gong, and related to the second chakra in yoga, the deep belly is the source of the breath and the origin of the deep life force. It is not only the region for balance and support in the body, but also is a source for great energy and feeling. In this class we initiate every movement and every pose from the lower belly. Through active and passive positions, we stretch, expand, and strengthen the tissues of the lower abdomen. By engaging the deep belly, we tap the source of prana and recharge the entire bioelectric field of the body.
Registration for this workshop is $70.
***We offer student, educator, elder and BIPOC discounts! Reach out to events@mygreenyogi.com for more info.
