Equipoise: The Dance of Wisdom & Balance

We humans deal with vast levels of balances.  It can feel overwhelming at times, and yet it’s quite astonishing what you accomplish day after day. This weekend is to enhance your ability with this skill.

With regard to our well being, each and all of us has our own person (body-mind-heart) to balance. Interpersonal and work-life relationships, local communities in which we participate, and if we consider moving outward; state, nation and world. We observe relationship and balance in various ways.

This weekend is about expanding our observing, understanding our skill sets with regard to life balance. Where and where not we can be effective and how best to do so.

Balance is in all yoga postures. It is not limited to balance poses but relates to our experience in yoga asana in a multitude of ways. We will observe their effects and look to create balance.

Finding more ease in these various levels of balance is a gift. Knowing our limitations, be they mind or body or even within interpersonal dynamics as well as celebrating what abilities we have to employ will aid us in embracing a better integrated self.  Arising from these  experiments and observations is wisdom.

Wisdom includes kindness and encourages a deeper and more fulfilling life.  In practical application, wisdom is the integrating our awareness to our present reality. This is how we create equipoise.

We will: observe the qualities of equipoise and apply them to our approach of asana. These qualities truly are foundational to well being.

All sessions will support students to balance yin/yang qualities in poses. Morning sessions will aim towards gentle energizing and opening.

Afternoon sessions will tend towards calming, clearing and grounding.

Saturday 10:00 – 12:30 – Here we are with Everything
This first session will be primarily to integrate our gathering for our time together. Sensing the energy of the group and observing our own energy, checking in with our present lives, and opening up so we may best receive our time together.

Saturday 14:00 – 16:30 – Now what?!?
As we create our weekend community and employ the benefit of gathering, each of us will begin to direct our energies upon our life balance.  What is in or out of balance and what is needed to create something more nurturing, sustainable, and joyful.

Sunday 10:00 – 12:30 – From the Earth to the Sky
These two forms of material consciousness while opposites, conspire in our favor to create balance. Nuances within our understanding and experience of these forces can support balance at all levels.

 Sunday 14:00 – 16:30 – Equipoise: The result of Wisdom
Fluctuations are the very nature of balance. How extreme those fluctuations are can be determining factors with regard to our wellness. What way best to restore balance is ultimately an act of loving kindness. This is the abode of equipoise.

Who may attend: Attendance is based upon expectations you may have of yourself. I do request familiarity with yoga asana as this will not be a beginner’s course. Be familiar with Inversions and Backbends. If your physical self is healthy and fit, and you are not “hard on yourself” you are welcome to attend.
