Becoming Unstuck
Release stagnation and cultivate the sustaining power in your body to fulfill your purpose, know your worth and speak your truth through the ups and downs of daily life.
WAYS TO ENGAGE
A Posture is a Seat
The Sanskrit word for seat is asana. Yoga doesn’t teach us how to do a “pose,” it teaches us how to sit with ourselves in all circumstances. Sitting with ourselves teaches us where we need to change, where we need to adjust, and prepares us to be a better listener or leader.
Asanas cultivate the skill and the ethos for forms of embodiment that are open to dialogue and full participation.
