Description
Wholeness: Putting the Parts Together
Spend a weekend with Judi and immerse yourself in yoga, nature, play, and rest, and enjoy nurturing and delicious garden-grown and made-with-love food. Four well-rounded classes will explore and unpack the themes embodied in this quote from B.K.S. Iyengar:
“Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, when you don’t feel like you are constantly trying to fit the broken pieces together.”
This workshop is for seasoned yoga practitioners who are dedicated to penetrating the surface of the rich practice of asana and pranayama. Please bring an open mind, a full heart and a learner’s inquisitiveness.
