Have you ever considered that we create balance in our postures and our lives rather than find it?

I remember one time a student told me she had “lost her tree pose”. I smiled thinking of her misplacing it and then we talked about how she is in reality creating it each time. What had changed? Could she discern when and how she was “losing” her balance as an approach to “finding” it.

In this new workshop, I will be drawing from the practices of Yoga and Tai Chi to inspire each of us to cultivate a feeling of balance in our body, heart and mind. We will practice a variety of physical forms that challenge us, like Tree pose or Kicking with one leg.

But balance goes beyond being confident standing on two legs or even one. True balance comes from within. Our breath reveals the degree of stability we are experiencing in the moment, and our emotions indicate whether we are feeling the “glass half empty” or “half full” vibration.

Tai Chi / Qigong is based on the Yin-Yang philosophy, a balance of opposites and Hatha Yoga means just that. Hatha breaks down into two Sanskrit words, “ha” for sun, “tha” for moon. Hatha yoga practices aim to harmonize these seemingly opposite energies for our physical and mental well-being.

I will weave this philosophy into a fun series of physical poses. I hope that you can join me as we create new pathways to creating balance in life, both on the mat and off.

Students new to Yoga and Tai Chi are welcome.
