Why Workshops?
These workshops are for women who want to go deeper with their practice of yoga as it interfaces with motherhood. Each workshop will be an opportunity to practice in a community of fellow mothers and mothers-to-be, to deepen in yoga practice and to clarify intentions and aspirations for growth. There will be time for discussion and journaling/reflection in order to best integrate each workshop’s key themes.
Each workshop offers the opportunity to practice the art of synchronizing bodily movement with the breath, work with principles of alignment, and practice moving in the world with grace, integrity, clarity, and openness.
