ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
2020 has been a challenging and difficult time across the globe. As the year draws to a close join master-teacher Kristen Davis in our final workshop series of the year, designed to support a sense of ease, calm, steadiness and restoration.
Through Restorative Yoga, the Alexander Technique, and meditation practices, we will rest into the body and mind and allow our natural steadiness and ease to come forth.
Our patterns of tightening, narrowing, and compressing are not simply physical. They are intertwined in our nervous systems, creating a buzz of anxiety and fear that is self-perpetuating.
Through an expansive and compassionate attention we will investigate the ways we contract and hold. Supported yoga postures will aid us in releasing habitual tension and settling into a body-mind that is naturally relaxed and at ease.
In this workshop series you will:
Learn the bedrock of embodiment: how to listen to and be in dialogue with the body
Develop an expansive awareness that is rooted in patience and gentleness
Quiet the mind and learn to relax
Release chronic patterns of tension
Relieve anxiety and stress
Stretch and move the body
Practice Yoga from a place of non-doing, in accordance with the body-mind

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
Kristen Davis
Kristen Davis, former owner of Yogasana Center, has been teaching Yoga and the Alexander Technique since 1995.
Her classes are rooted in her Iyengar training under her mentor, Donald Moyer, the “means-whereby” of the Alexander Technique, and her deep practice of Zen Buddhism. The result is a meditative and focused practice that looks to uncover the habits and conditioning that create obstacles in the body-mind-heart.

"Do not kill the instinct of the body for the glory of the pose. Do not look at your body like a stranger, but adopt a friendly approach towards it. Watch it, listen to it, observe its needs, its requests, and even have fun. Play with it as children do, sometimes it becomes very swift and alert. To be sensitive is to be alive.” —Vanda Scaravelli
