Burning the Box

This workshop aspires to allow one to experience one's self in a more fluid and fearless manner primarily through play and improvisational body movement. It begins by encouraging the release of fear-based limitation through the use of breath, imagery and visualization, and then moves into animating the self through playful and improvisational body movements in a safe, joyful environment. Finally, participants will combine their bodily interpretations to weave a simple, theatrical archetypal tale of Creation, and will segue into Contact Improvisation as a means of fluidly culminating the shared freedom of body (and mind) expression achieved over the course of the workshop.

Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan

Kundalini Yoga has been called the yoga of awareness. This workshop will take the participant on an experience of the joys and benefits of Kundalini yoga through performing a 'kriya', a prescribed set of Kundalini Yoga postures and breath patterns designed to awaken and radiate the dormant spiritual power that lies within us. Come expecting a stimulating and rewarding yogic experience.
