In yoga, the phrase “come back home to your body” refers to the process of reconnecting with your physical self in a present, compassionate, and embodied way. It means shifting out of distraction, disconnection, or dissociation—and into a state where you feel grounded, aware, and at peace within your own skin.

In this workshop we will look at the proper alignment of the shoulder girdle, head and neck. We will work to “undo” all the time we spend bending forward.

We will explore many ways to lengthen, strengthen, and release the psoas leaving you feeling a deeper connection to it and empowered to continue to move through your practice safely and effectively. This practice is for all levels.

Tantra is not about renunciation or even gradually transforming obstacles through compassion but seeing the entire world as divine, as a manifestation of the Mother. Yoga teaches suppression with awareness, gradually eliminating obstacles through control. Tantra is the releasing of all goals and attainments - letting go of all attachments through love. Tantra teaches that every cell that exists is filled with pure awareness. Indulgence with awareness.
