Yoga Attunement

Service Description

To attune is to bring into harmony, or to make aware or responsive. In this class we explore unwinding movements to encourage physical openings, particularly in areas of long-held tension or old injury. We begin practice with several movement inquiries done on the floor - supine, prone, and side-lying. Floor work is practiced with an emphasis on working with rather than against gravity, which helps to relieve fatigue and prioritizes observation and awareness over performance. From time to time, we briefly rest in stillness to stop doing and simply be in the present moment, encouraging greater harmony in body, mind, and spirit. Standing postures, while not the emphasis or main component of class, are always included to bring strength and wakefulness to the body and mind. Based on the work of Tias Little, Don Stapleton, and Thomas Hanna, this approach is particularly effective for individuals who enjoy exploring more subtle aspects of the practice and slowing down.
