Mountain Stream Meditation Center
710 Zion St.  Nevada City, CA
Suggested Donation
$15-$20

Join Tracy and delve into your body through easeful flow,  joyful movement, fluid and open breath.  Thaw from winter’s cold and gently circle joints open, invite spaciousness into muscle tissue and mind, and gently rock the nervous and endocrine systems towards a more relaxed state as we practice nurturing the body, mind and heart as we open to spring warmth.

Drawing from Vipassana, Qigong and Yoga Therapy, Tracy will guide participants towards a deep and loving present-moment celebration of the bodies we inhabit.

Whether you have been to Esalen or not, this is a chance to treat yourself to the rugged beauty of the Big Sur coast, the deep relaxation of the hot springs, the quiet of the meditation hut and gardens, delicious, healthy food made for you, and a week full of yoga growth, learning and joy.

The more we awaken to our bodies, the more we can care for them well~ and the better they will take care of us.  In this workshop, we will learn, through Qigong, to move into our yoga postures with ease.  As we take time to experience our poses and posture we will become more aware, feeling into our joints and movements. We will learn to relax even as we work in a practice. We will study the nuts and bolts of good alignment and expand our consciousness in the body through embodied inquiry.  Come find the joy in getting to know yourself better through all eight limbs of yoga.

Deepen Awareness of Yoga Twists & Forward Folds

Thursday, February 23rd, 1-3 PM

Description: Join Tracy Lease for a workshop celebrating the benefits of yoga twists and forward folds in coordination with the breath. We will discuss the health benefits of twists as well as contraindications and heathy alignment. We will practice, standing, seated, and supine twists and forward folds as we become progressively more aware of how to care for spine, hips, knees, shoulders and feet in these poses. We will feel into how these poses press and release the abdomen in different directions- moving lymph and contents of the intestines to benefit the immune and digestive systems. Come get to know your body better during this fun and enlightening afternoon exploration.
