Yoga and authentic movement
Igniting your Inner Practice through Flow Yoga and Authentic Movement, by Christie Di Perna
In this workshop we will connect more deeply to our inner being through the practices of Flow Yoga and Authentic Movement.
In our daily Flow Yoga practice we will explore gentle flowing sequences coordinating breath with movement to connect with our inner body. We will focus on finding pure alignment in relationship to gravity, all the while respecting the unique anatomy of our bodies. By allowing our breath and awareness to guide us deeper inside the body, we create a space within from where we can meet the turbulences of our internal and external world with quiet and all-embracing acceptance.
In Authentic Movement we start from the stilness within our bodies to allow ourselves to express in movement any impulse, feeling or sensation that may arise within our awareness. We develop the capacity of our inner witness to non-judgementally accept anything that wants to express itself in outer form as we engage deeply with our inner creativity and aliveness. Authentic Movement is a wonderful practice to allow you to create your life from your most inner core, accepting every moment of your journey along the way.
