Deep Stretch for Tight Bodies and Active Minds

In the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts
Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health

November 8-10 (Friday–Sunday), 2013

This workshop is perfect for people with tight bodies and active minds. You will learn how to release the issues in your tissues, let go of stress, and open your energy centers. Mimi Solaire’s approach to deep stretching combines Yin Yoga principles (holding gentle poses), Western stretching techniques, pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation to gently re-engage muscles and un-engage thoughts. We will work with both physical and energetic anatomy, focusing on the nervous system, organs, chakras (energy centers), meridians (energy pathways), and koshas (energy bodies).

By holding gentle stretches in combination with breathing, you will:

• Learn to identify and observe the thoughts and emotions that create tension and have a negative impact on your body
• Gain meditative insights into your issues
• Open doorways to deeper levels of awareness

Mimi will guide the group in practicing “the law of least effort,” working at 80 percent of capacity so that everyone is safe. Her gentle, rhythmic practice will stimulate your muscular, circulatory, and nervous systems, providing a balanced approach to align body, mind, and breath.
