Tias Little Yoga Of The Subtle Body

$265 by Jan 27 / $295 After Progression on the path of yoga involves a slow journey from outer to inner and from coarse to subtle. Connection to the subtle body suggests not simply an intellectual knowing but an embodied, cellular knowing. This intensive aims to embody wisdom by engaging the subtlety and power of asana training. In a process that requires sensitivity and inner listening, we explore the pathways of the muscle, bones and nerves in order to bring greater wakefulness to the body-mind connection.

Underlying our teaching is that we do not do poses for the sake of the pose, but for the quality of attention within the pose.
