The XYZ of Yoga – postponed!

January 12, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm

The XYZ of Yoga
With Kate Tarlow Morgan

Kate broke her foot so we are starting the first workshop in February. Please see the new dates below!

Yoga, a 5000-year tradition within the human era, is actually based on earlier phylogenetic stages of the animal kingdom. Participants, trained or new to a Yoga practice, will explore these ancient, fundamental positions (asanas) through the lens of developmental movement patterns that are basic to all humans and animals in locomotion.

This three-part workshop of movement, visualization and experiential anatomy will serve to discover the evolutionary underpinnings of Yoga and build a developmental vocabulary for your Asana practice that is sourced from the natural world in overlapping waves.

It is optimal to attend all workshops due to the flow of knowledge being shared. However, do not hesitate to attend, if you must miss a session. We will catch you up!

 

February  9 The Starfish and the axial skeleton

March 8 The Frog and the Lizard

April  6  From Mammal to Human

All dates meet from 2 to 4:30pm

 

For more information feel free to call Magma (978) 381-3494 or Kate at 802 257 0855.
