IN PERSON: This course invites participants to explore the body’s innate intelligence — the deep, intuitive awareness that guides our movement, breath and stillness. Through gentle practice, students will learn to feel at home in their bodies, both on and off the mat, discovering that yoga is not a mental effort but a responsive flow with the natural energy of prana — the life force that animates us. As practice deepens, participants will begin to move instinctively and intuitively, sensing how body and mind work together as a single, integrated whole. This wisdom of the body becomes a source of personal insight, awakening what has always been within and fostering confidence, balance and self-awareness. By attuning to this inner knowledge, students will refine their yoga practice and cultivate a greater sense of connection among their body, mind and spirit — an experience that will support their well-being and lifelong learning. | Active Skill Learning.
