Hip openers with Daniel Hickman
Hip openers with Daniel Hickman
Sat 3/12/2011
The hips are not only the place for the legs to pivot from, but are also the base that cradles the upper body. Swadisthana, the 2nd chakra, is located here and its element is water. So, the hips will often dictate how “fluid” one can move. For some, their hips might be “frozen,” for others their hips might be moving only in one particular “current.” This workshop will focus on specific movements and asanas that help bring balance to the 22 muscles that are associated with this very important area of the body.
Benefits include: alleviation of back, thigh and sciatic pain, improved ease of physical performance, and the increase of circulation of prana-energy and blood to the digestive and sexual organs. No experience is necessary to attend this vital workshop. Throughout the two hours spent you will carefully and curiously examine and tune in to the center of mobility your human body. You will walk away a different person!

Find Your Balance (On Your Feet and Your Hands)!
with Chrissy Carter
Sat 3/19/2011
Balance is the ability to fall in every direction at once. Our foundation sets the stage for everything else, creating a steady, easy practice and a flexible mind. Stabilizing our base allows us to suspend ourselves in space. We'll learn how our connection to the floor gives us the tools we need to balance. Playing with different relationships to gravity, we'll balance on our feet and our hands with power and a sense of humor.
