Title: An Embodied Practice: Finding Your Center All Day Long

With Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., PT
And Mary Richards, MS, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500

For most of us, our yoga practice is a big part of our life. But how do we carry the fruits of our practice into daily living in the world?

 In this five-day live workshop, we will begin each day with a discussion based on the teachings of yoga philosophy. These teachings will then be woven into the rest of our day to help us deepen our focus, and thus deepen our practice itself.

 We will practice Active asana, Restorative yoga, pranayama, and meditation, using one of three specific focal points. These focal points are Awareness, Compassion, and Being, as they manifest through the body-mind, not only during our formal practice, but at other times in our life as well.

 This way of practicing will help us to bring our embodied focus into the world where we live and act with others, thus allowing us to live with more grace and presence as we do.

The engaging and insightful Mary Richards will be co- leading and teaching three evening programs to help us integrate the newest scientific discoveries which support and explain how our yoga practice supports our health.
