[NO RECORDING]
In this experiential movement workshop, we will look at the ancient art, science, and philosophy of yoga, and how it relates to the teachings of the Enneagram.
Through gentle and relaxing mind, breath, and movement practices– pranayama, tratak, and asana–we will become aware of our own subtle physical habits, wake up our mind’s vast control of our physiological states, and allow our minds and bodies to be in beneficial dialogue together.
How do we respond to gentle physical challenge (do we become competitive? passive? critical? anxious? dissociated?), and how does that illuminate our Enneagram type? How do we respond to stillness? To movement? To disorientation? How can the practices of yoga inform our awareness and shift us into receptivity? These are some of the questions we will explore from within.
Participants will come away with an understanding of the basic philosophy of yoga and how it relates to the Enneagram, and gentle physical practices appropriate for balancing each of the nine types.
Learning objectives:
increased somatic awareness of our own physical habits
improved capacity to beneficially influence our own physiological state
understanding of the basic philosophy of yoga
knowledge of gentle physical practices for balancing each of the nine types
