WSY - TAKOMA PARK

Often translated quickly as control or restraint (yama) of energy (prana), a deeper look at pranayama reveals a richer definition of “to expand the dimensions (ayama) of your life force (pran)”. In this workshop we will begin to explore the breath first from an anatomical view but also see how this begins to weave an energetic poetry through the tapestry of our asana and life. Students will begin to experience their breath as both a metaphor as well as a practical and profound tool to return to our balanced and blissful state.

Kristin's book, MetaAnatomy: A Modern Yogi's Practical Guide to the Physical and Energetic Anatomy of Your Amazing Body is available in the boutique for 25% off through 12/10/2022.

Baby and Me Yoga series is meant for caregivers and babies pre-crawling. Nurturing a baby can be hard on the body and mind. Let's stretch out those achy parts and join a community of other care-givers and their littles for a little self-care. Join us for one or sign up for all three.

Classes include movement both with and without baby, interactive songs, baby massage, and time for relaxation. Class is an hour long to account for feeding, diaper changes, naps and fussy babies which are welcome and expected during class. No previous yoga experience necessary.

Pia's, E-RYT 200, PRYT, teaching reflects over a decade of practice with some of the DC area's best instructors.

During the Winter Months our energies tend to naturally be drawn inwards as nature becomes still and the cold weather and long nights draw in.

But something deeper is at work.

The Water energy of Winter is an expression of Maximum Yin and Responsiveness. We will balance the Yin nature of the gentle cleansing stretches and breathwork with complementary Yang practices, whilst using meditation, to support the sustaining of our energetic field through the colder months working with the active kidney and bladder energy.

This time is also one of incubating ideas and intentions to manifest in the Spring. We will establish multi-layered intentions to blossom in the forthcoming year by peering into the shadows of Winter through journeying. All Students of all levels are welcome.

Saturday, December 10 | 4:00p – 7:00p | In Studio & Online | $60
