Dance Yourself Free w/ Sharah Saltzgiver

Asheville Community Yoga 8 Brookdale Rd, Asheville, North Carolina, United States

 "So much pulls us off balance and away from our Self. It’s hard to think our way back into aligned presence since it’s thinking (Itself)((our mind’s protective patterns, conditioning, and memory)) that inadvertently knocks us off center. Dance offers a way to move through and around the reflexive mind to reconnect deep within. Our bodies are our elemental wisdom keepers. Conscious movement can tune us into our inner frequency.

Guide yourself from a place of peace. Relax, really relax with the powerful practice of Yoga Nidra. In this guided meditative journey we will quiet the mind and tap into our wholeness. During this inward movement you are invited to let go of negative past patterns, so the light of your true nature shines through. In this deep state your intention is easily called into awareness. In this workshop we will explore the basics of Yoga Nidra, followed by a brief Yoga Nidra experience to illustrate and inspire the use of intention. You will focus your energy toward creating a powerful individual intention, which will become your North Star, especially in times of challenge. Together we will journal, playfully put our desires into words, and share our insights if we so choose. The workshop will close with a Yoga Nidra session designed to empower your self-created intention. My vision for this workshop is to introduce each participant to their ability to create the life which best expresses who they really are: Divine!

Chant Your Heart- An Introduction to Mantra w/ Rian Austin
