Exploring the Prana Body
In Yoga and Ayurveda, the physical body is enlivened by energy, or Prana. Within the body Prana moves in 5 directions, governing various bodily functions. It also influences the processes of the mind. In this workshop we explore what is essentially the mind-body connection. Through discussion, yoga and breathing exercises, and guided awareness, we will sense the prana body, and learn ways to draw on it to support our overall health and well-being. No yoga experience necessary.
2.5 hour workshop.
