Texas Yoga Conference 2015

Two Part Series:

Choose Love: 2 hrs. In yogic philosophy, the heart, known as the heart chakra, represents healing, compassion and your emotional core. It's believed an "open" heart means a person is more centered, compassionate and loving. When we think of mending our heart, we instantly associate it with romance, yet there are many forms of love, and in many cases the most important is self-love. Finding love for the self at the deepest level is what allows us to give and receive love for and from others.

The very first step in healing your heart is to recognize your light. When the heart centre is cluttered, it is absolutely impossible to truly feel, let alone see your light. The most transformational way to de-clutter and get rid of the "rubbish," whether that is pain, guilt or any type of suffering, is emotional release. The heart is the source of intuition and truth. When we learn how to live from our hearts, we operate from a very deeply rooted and connected place. In this workshop, you will explore heart openers as a way of cultivating Moksha.

See Deeper: 2hrs.Break free from your bodily imprisonment. The tighter we are, the less able we are to move freely, and the more we are likely to suffer from aches and pains. With strong, mobile and open hips, we can begin to free ourselves from our bodies and create space to move into curiosity. Instead of fitting into the shapes, we allow the shapes to fit into us, which manifests into one becoming the best and most healed version of ourselves. 

We hold emotional tension in various areas of the body, however the hips receive special attention as an area associated with emotional burden. Often referred to as the ‘junk drawer’ or ‘attic’ of the body, our hips are considered a site of storage for emotions which we do not wish to confront and so tuck away into the deepest confines of our being. In this workshop, you will adventure into the quiet and refined spaces deep within as you quest through hip openers. You will begin to see deeper with truth and compassion, and use the physical shapes to serve as a gateway to pratyahara.
