POSTURES AND THEIR SEED STORIES

Lord Siva cast a lock of his own hair to the ground and up sprang Virabhadra, an invincible deity general to vindicate the terrible wrong done to Siva.  What is the essence embodied and expressed through the warrior postures?  In our own practice can we use this essence to foster unshakeable roots, graceful expression and a watchful, still mind?    

This seed story animates the Warrior postures of Ha-tha yoga. In this three-hour workshop, led by Suraya Keating and James Ryder, we will tap into the stream of a few such vibrant stories to experience their qualities and the iconic inspiration they offer. Through an invigorating, accessible and safe asana practice we will consider these stories as they speak to each of us today.  All are welcome.
