Being upright is not just an arbitrary shape; it's a perfect expression of meditation itself. In this week of intensive meditation practice learn principles from the Alexander Technique and Focusing to cultivate ease, equilibrium, and non-striving in your meditation practice and in your life. Through Hope's hands-on work, making subtle adjustments to the relationship between the head, neck and back, you'll learn to access effortless, balanced posture—light and grounded. The week will provide ample time to develop awareness of and befriend habits that result in tension, pain, fixed posture and mind-set, and to learn skills to shift to a more open, expansive, and balanced way of being.
Discover how being fully present and at ease in your body can transform your practice!
Open to new and experienced practitioners.
Can be applied toward Shambhala Curriculum requirment of a Weekthun.
