Open Your Heart and Mind: A Day of Yoga with Kat
April 27 @ 8:00 am - 5:30 pm CDT
Open Your Mind & Heart: A Day of Yoga Practice
In this day-long workshop we will integrate yoga postures, breathing techniques, meditation and study, blending detailed physical alignment with practices to help you calm the mind and enjoy the beauty and ease of back bending practice.
You will learn to settle your mind, find space in your breathing, and establish a restorative meditation practice. This mind space allows your body to open into your life and yoga with ease.
It is primarily the physical aspects of the yoga tradition that people see and entertain when approaching a yoga practice. Much more important than the outer reflection of the yoga practice is the way we feel the postures in our breath, our energy body and our mental state.
According to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, yoga asana has two important qualities: sthira and sukha.
-Sthira is steadiness, alertness and an unwavering presence of mind.
-Sukha, which translates as sweetness, refers to the ability to remain at ease and comfortable in the postures.
Both qualities need to be equally present or there is no practice of yoga asana. Moving with your breath, being in the reality of the moment by not pushing or pulling away from what is, will assist in maintaining these qualities throughout your yoga practice.
Kat Kelly will offer yoga, breathing and meditation practices throughout the day. In the afternoon we will practice meditation and study together as a group. We will learn tricks to make the yoga practice friendly and fun. We will explore how to practice in times of peace and also with challenges in our bodies, minds and relationships. Please join us for a day of contemplation, learning, quiet, community and study.
Investment in you is $150 for the day. Half day attendance morning or afternoon $90
