Winter sluggishness, begone! Kick your heels up and welcome the spirit of renewal with this fresh, fun cleansing yoga workshop for springtime. Usher out the cold remnants of last season lingering in your body with Sun Salute variations that revolve around the solar plexus to stimulate metabolism and a radiant flow of energy.
All practices focus on sloughing off the old and welcoming new energy with playful flows, gentle backbends, and energizing movements. Learn prana pulsing, coconut oil joint rejuvenation, simple chi activation, the art and science of dry brushing for healthy skin, and tension-clearing yoga for the face and feet.
Certified in Anusara Yoga and the Halprin Life Art Process, Ulrika blends holistic practices of yoga, somatic movement therapy, and Swedish skin rituals with the elements of nature into movement medicine. The many layers and systems of the body are addressed with balanced attention given to the physical and the energetic, to form and to formlessness, to the unique individual and collective universal patterns. Ulrika’s unique approach to yoga is “anatomy meets astronomy for body and mind.”
Make sure to bring a dry brush, body oil for the skin, and your playful self for this fun, seasonal renewal weekend — spring cleaning for body, mind, and spirit!
Participants should have a minimum of three months of yoga practice.
