EmPowerFlow Yoga: Powering Up from the Earth and Activating from Center – Weekend 2
14 Total YA approved hours
In Weekend 2, the focus is on getting more and deeper to the core. From the ‘energy’ perspective, the core is of the quality of Tamas, i.e, like sinking into the center of the planet of the earth through our body. Feel this for a moment. Turn your attention deeply inward at your navel and imagine diving in.
The physical body slowly begins to open into a reservoir full yet empty. A profound energy is present…..deep, penetrating, with texture. Emotions reveal themselves. So much can be discovered here. Herein lies a tremendous source of energy. We will tune in here and learn so much regarding the strength or struggle with our focus and poses. As you feel these deep inner energies, we will co-create a safe and transformative yoga journey.
Would you like to dive a little deeper into understanding more of the nature of energy? This energy model is truly a profound way to activate yoga poses and move more deeply into stillness.
Topics covered include:
- Overview of the chakra system as our core energy system
- Purification breathing practice for all 5 elements
- Activating fire, water and air elements to move more and more from the center to the peripheral body
- Poses for the core muscles of the torso which serve as key levers with specific focus on safety of the neck and spine
- Core/energy principles of the shoulders and hips and how they are interdependent for strength and flexibility
These elemental energies are who you are, who nature is, and as Dr. Stone says, the elements are the ‘batteries of life.’ As long as there is life in the body, these batteries are completely rechargeable! This energy model will truly serve you in all your endeavors.
