Friday, November 14 from 12:15pm to 2:15pm at Northminster Presbyterian Church

In yoga philosophy, abhinivesa is the mental suffering comes from the fear of death or loss of physical health. My yoga teacher would often say “Everything you know, everything you love will be gone someday.” (Dark, but true!) The fear of death/loss can be a strong motivator of actions – like working out or eating healthy or holding on to things (hoarding) or avoiding emotional attachments.

The work is to become aware of how fear directs action. If you are running away from something, that action has consequences. Taking time to sit still, to make space to feel whatever you feel, allows light into the dark places. Cultivate a sense of safety and stillness that allows you to explore the dark places and be less reactive, more mindful.

This workshop will include some discussion of yoga philosophy and a full yoga practice (movement, breathing and meditation). Come join this safe space to explore.

Pre-registration is required for this workshop. Fee is $50. Yoga Alliance CEUs are available.
