The Fine Work: Deepening, Refining, Adjusting - a PlayShop for Teachers and Experienced Students
6:30-9p at the Integral Yoga Institute
This series will focus on how to go deep into inquiry and understanding with a pose and from this, how to grow. We will explore how a pose uniquely fits a body, or a body a pose; how to see this, consider it, convey these ideas to our students, and evolve with them. Our tools will include voice/language, demonstration, and touch. We will address serving in both ends of the continuum of rigor -- toward safe, gentle care and toward intensity and challenge, in ways which empower our students as skillful practitioners. Please leave the word "modify" at home, and bring your curiosity. Classes can be taken individually or as a series. This workshop will count for Yoga Alliance CEU hours.

Why and How We Practice
Once a psychiatrist asked Suzuki Roshi about consciousness.
"I know nothing about it," Suzuki said. "I just try to teach my students how to hear the birds sing."
