This year raises issues that focus on the breath - the Black Lives Matter mantra “I can’t breathe” pays tribute to George Floyd’s brutal death, COVID 19 attacks the respiratory system, and brush fires in California seriously compromise air quality. Breath is life. By cultivating the breath we increase the flow of life energy, or prana, in our bodies, nourish and soothe the nervous system, and fortify ourselves to face life’s challenges.
In this workshop, co-taught by Melinda and Ellen, we will explore the understanding of how the chakras and the breath create an energetic network in our bodies. Through yoga asana, mudra, mantra and pranayama we will broaden the scope of our practice and develop skills that allow us to tap into the infinite life force that flows through us all.
