S.A.F.E. Yoga -- Harmonics In Motion Dipa Sara Meeks co-teaching with Bhavani Lorraine Nelson We are, in essence, harmonic beings, vibrating crystals that respond to the forces of the universe. Come to this unique new workshop led by two long-time Kripalu teachers and experience how movement “from the inside out” will enable you to ”free your voice from the ground up.” In this workshop we’ll combine muscle contraction, compression, tension, torsion and the effect of gravity on body parts with breath, sound, music, and movement. This unique combination may create a more profound consciousness of your body than you have ever experienced. You will learn principles of alignment in seated, standing, supine and prone positions that you can take into all your yoga postures. Included will be The Spinal Rock, a Meeks Method original, designed to relax and heal the structures of the spine through rhythmic movement accompanied by music.You will also experience the freedom of “toning” as Bhavani invites you into a magical wash of sound alive with the intention of healing ourselves and the universe. You will leave with your body, mind, and spirit humming, your bones resonating, and your feet dancing to the rhythm of your inner harmonic being, taking home practical new suggestions for your yoga practice and your life.
