ASANAS AND
THE EMOTIONS:
BRINGING HARMONY
TO BODY AND SOUL
Sophia Reinders
Our body is our most immediate home on earth. It is the receptacle
of our stories, sculpted in the flesh of our being. It is
the guardian of our insights and intuitions, of our longing-to-become,
and of our celebration of life on earth.
Yoga asanas and breath practices allow kinesthetic-emotional-imaginal
experiences, often restricted in the body, to come to awareness
and be integrated in consciousness. This freeing through awareness
from restrictive physical and mental/emotional-holding patterns
creates a more organic balance in the body and mind, which
finds expression in a greater range of motion, as well as
in more constructive, enhancing emotions.
In this workshop, you will practice asanas, kinesthetic awareness
meditation, and breathing. Through guided imagery, active
imagination, painting, and creative writing, you will give
symbolic expression to the kinesthetic-emotional-imaginal
experiences encountered in your body, and may celebrate your
embodied intuitions of harmonious and joyful transformation.
