|  Asana, Breath, and Voice:
Awakening the Wisdom Body
Sophia Reinders
Ancient Eastern wisdom traditions see the body as a sacred instrument of the spirit and as a vessel for transformation. Through mindful practice of yoga postures and breath awareness, we bring greater presence and fluidity to all facets of our being—body, breath, mind, and soul—enlivening our potential for transformation and fullness of being.
The voice is an integral, creative dimension of the dance of energy and consciousness. The sounds of the voice reverberate in every cell of the body and carry our feelings and insights. Belonging to body and spirit, our voice paints the soul’s images in sound and brings the intuition of the spirit home into the body. When creative spirit is joyously embodied, we become more creative and spirited.
In this workshop, we will engage in asanas, breath-awareness practices, toning, and chanting, allowing the voice to be integral to a creatively expressed growing range of fluid motion and emotion.
