2013 Dates TBD – Vancouver
Yoga is…
… union or communion. B.K.S. Iyengar
… a poise of the soul which enables one to look at life in all its aspects evenly. Mahadev Desai
… a way of remembering our true nature, which is essentially joyful and peaceful. Donna Farhi
… an act of kindness toward oneself. Judith Hanson Lasater
Spend a summer morning in the North Shore mountains, just 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver and 10 minutes from the Commercial Drive area, exploring your yoga practice in nature. We will spend the morning in an idyllic sandy spot in nature.
You will learn the nature psychology of the four directions, an ancient-modern model of understanding the psyche of humans and nature. Each cardinal direction has its own colours, textures, seasons, stages of life, and qualities of true nature. We will explore the qualities embodied by the directions through yoga poses that connect these elemental energies with your own physicality. This is an opportunity to deepen into your connection to yourself and the natural world.
Enjoy the carefree feeling of being a child outdoors, the vivid colours of summer, and the beauty of our westcoast rainforest with a small group of people like you who are interested in exploring the depths of nature.
