The physical body is a vessel that allows us to experience the world in all its beauty, in all its dynamic expression.
Caring for this vessel is one of our most important jobs, we can do this in so many ways, including being hydrated, eating nourishing foods, and having a consistent movement practice.
Using this restorative practice we will venture into the realms and recesses of the body. Working with postures to physically soften, open and release the tension held within the body.
It’s a practice available and open to all bodies.

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
