Embodyoga

Embodyoga® developed by my teacher and mentor, Patty Townsend, the founder of Yoga Center Amherst.  Embodyoga® offers a deep dive into your physical embodiment and an experience of union of body and mind. We explore traditional yoga asanas (postures) from the inside out, meaning that instead of picturing what a shape might look like and then trying to fit into it, we look for the feeling and movement of prana that the postures are pointing toward and let our movements arise from there. Our cues are internal, and bring your awareness into your body, rather than inviting you to picture what you look like from the outside. And our classes seamlessly weave in a rich experience of Embodied Anatomy, so you will learn about the inner structures and systems (organs, bones, fascia, glands, etc) that support all movement, and how to leverage deep stability in service of mobility. EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Yoga mat, strap, blankets and/or bolster, yoga blocks.
