WORKSHOP 2: EARTH & RHYTHM
Ebb and flow. Quick, slow with Robin Layne, Percussion

Saturday February 13th, 7:30-9pm

The earth is constantly shifting and changing - in order to keep balance, we must tune into the natural rhythms of our bodies. Let your mind relax and connect to the primal intuitive wisdom within the five senses during this grounding, foundational practice.

“When the rhythm is right you feel it with all your senses.” – Mickey Hart

Water, water on my mind as I prepare for the first workshop in the five part Yoga and Live Music Series: A Journey Into the Elements with Yoga and Music.

WORKSHOP 1: WATER & STRINGS
Your own body of water with Elisa Thorn, harp

Saturday January 9th, 7:30-9pm
Semperviva City Studio

We often stare out at the water as a way to reflect and find serenity in our lives. Whether the ocean, a river, or lake, its vastness both humbles us and encourages us to seek truth. Composed of over fifty percent water, our own physical forms are powerful bodies of water. Dive deeply into your body of water with this fluid and contemplative flow, synchronizing movement and breath with the calming sounds of Elisa’s harp and looping effects.

So on that note here are some thoughts on water, in no particular order to get you in the mood for tomorrow evening.

Water can be heard, felt, seen and tasted.

Water is quick and slow, calm and raging, serene and surging, ripples and waves, liquid and solid, quiet and thundering.

In essence, water can be fluid and delicate but can also wield great power.

Water is yin/feminine in character, its energy is downward, its motion is stillness and conserving. It's representative of intelligence and wisdom, flexibility, softness and pliancy. It is also the element of stillness and rest.

"The heart in thee is the heart of all; not a valve, not a wall, not an intersection is there anywhere in nature, but one blood rolls uninterruptedly an endless circulation through all, as the water of the globe is all one Sea, and truly seen, its tide is one." - Emerson

We are water, so dive in, go deep and float on the everlasting current.
