        *Sold Out* Fundamentals of Asana Series - Pathways for Deeper Connection

        Explore the fundamentals of asana - Join Eve for this series of four longform vinyasa workshops as she guides you through an in-depth, biomechanical journey into asanas with the intention of deepening bodily awareness.

        Each workshop can be attended as a stand alone or attend all four in the series as you journey through different body parts and asana.

        Eve’s experience of movement as a spirituality practice has been a key to unlocking a greater sense of self-understanding, acceptance, and connection.

        Eve believes that if spiritual concepts are the ingredients to the banana bread recipe of enlightenment - movement is the method (and Spanda provides the perfect environment to rise).

        Baking requires heat, and these classes will be fiery!!

        An Integrative Exploration of the Fundamentals of Asana for Mind-Body Awareness

        WHAT IS A LONGFORM WORKSHOP?

        Longform is a 90 minute educational, fundamental vinyasa practice that will intentionally and safely open, warm and prepare the body for postures in different planes of movement.

         The longer class format will provide adequate time to safely warm and cool down the body, and time for discussion and integration as we move slowly and kindly into new physical experiences.

         

        The Series will focus in pairs:

        Hips & Spine Duo (extension & flexion):

        Session 1: Frontline Opening & Strengthening FULL

        Session 2: Backline Opening & Strengthening FULL

        Shoulders & Arms Duo (hands to floor shapes):

        Session 3: Wrists, Hands & Shoulder girdle stability FULL

        Session 4:  Safe pathways to twists, binds & balances FULL

        WHO IS THIS FOR?

        This workshop will be eye opening for all – from absolute beginners through to those who have been practicing for years.

        The challenges in this workshop can be modified to any level.

        Diversity in ability and bodies is encouraged.

        This is an opportunity not to learn about advanced yoga or advanced asana, but to learn more about your body in the context of yoga and movement and you will take away valuable skills that you can use in your daily practice.

        Eve believes that asana is beautiful tool for self awareness, self expression, self acceptance, somatic release and deeper connection and understanding.
