Yin Yoga and the Path of the Storyteller
We come into our lives with our bags fully packed. They are bulging with our ancestral and culture stories and conditions. Our very understanding of love is defined by these conditions which are held not only in the way we see ourselves and our relationships, but in every cell of our bodies. The journey of the storyteller is the listening to, unpacking, telling, and letting go of these conditions.
During this weekend we will walk through the concepts of youth, midlife and elder stories, always returning to the wisdom of our own bodies through the still practice of Yin Yoga. We will also explore and develop ways storytelling may inform our practice and teaching on and off the mat, as well as how the natural world is constantly unfolding in teaching stories.
