Join us as we welcome a very special guest teacher to Padma in October. Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT, has taught yoga since 1971 on six continents and in almost all 50 states of the USA.
Her teachings will transform your practice on every level. This three day workshop runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am - 5pm. We will take a lunch break each day from 12:30 - 2:15pm.
About the workshop:
Yoga philosophy teaches us that the world is a sacred place because everything contains at least a drop of consciousness.
A famous saying states: “Awareness sleeps in the stone, dreams in the flower, awakens in the animal, and flowers in the human being.”
How can we nourish our own flowering of consciousness? We start with becoming Present.
Presence is the beginning of our spiritual journey.
The practices of yoga, especially asana, pranayama, and meditation all point to this. Consciousness, this Presence. It is up to us in our own yoga to trust this flowering and to cultivate our recognition of the sacred that exists within us.
In this workshop we will begin each day with short talks and discussions on our topic, then proceed to soft active Asana practice. The afternoons will focus on Restorative yoga, pranayama, and sitting in stillness.
Our overall focus will be on unveiling our own Presence.
