Wild Spring Yoga Workshop!!
Wild Spring Yoga Workshop!!
Join Annelies Smith for a Vinyasa and Yin Yoga Workshop at the Beautiful Wilding Studio on Sunday, February 20th from 2 pm to 6 pm!!
There will be two parts to this new Yoga Workshop; you can sign up for both or just one part. The yoga workshop will begin with a more active vinyasa yoga class that will blend with the delight of great dance music and freestyle movement. In the second part will delve into a more deep introspective yin yoga style, giving us time to reflect on the depth of our inner awareness.
Part 1 will have a more active, moving yoga class, working with the theme of “invoking Spring and opening to delight”. Spring is the time of aliveness, and appreciation. The Earth is warming up, filling with creativity, spontaneity and beauty. Even the air smells of excitement. The Earth is magnanimous and when we tune into this energy, we begin to want to dance and play a bit freely. In this first part of the yoga workshop, I will turn on some lively music and inspire you to follow the bliss of your own movement blended with asana yoga practice.
In Part 2, we will relax into the deep and full stretches of Yin Yoga, using balls and props to pass through the walls of tightness and tension found in the body that restrict us from feeling whole. Through slow, releasing patience, the myofascial sheaths of the body transition into a blossoming flow of lightness and elasticity that simply brings us to a place of peace and presence. During this second part of the Wild Spring Yoga Workshop, we can settle, open and integrate into our more true selves after making contact with the excitement of enjoying and appreciation what we will invoke in Part 1.
I teach with a sense of playfulness, warmth and embodiment, bringing my experience as a yoga teacher, movement therapist and bodyworker into every class. Let’s have great fun enjoying others as well as ourselves and help bring on the delights of spring!
