Storytelling Yoga: Rig Veda, Mahabharata, and Modern Physics
Hatha Practice​
Leigh Anne Neal
In every cultural tradition, storytelling is medicine. Everything we think we know stems from absolute nothingness, a void. This concept is present throughout religious, scientific, and philosophical communities since time immemorial. Yoga is no exception. This class is a dynamic and thorough Hatha Yoga practice that explores the Myth of Creation through the lens of Yoga, including a deep dive into some of the most obscure, yet tantalizing, foundational tomes in the Yoga tradition, the Rig Veda and the Mahabharata. The teachings of these ancient texts ripple throughout time and scientific theory. The practice will use a vast array of posture and practice to not only demonstrate story and concept, but create a musculo-fascial remembering.
The class is accessible for all levels of yoga students, including first-time yogis. If you're a yoga teacher, these workshops can count as continuing education for Yoga Alliance.

The Senses as a Gateway to Self-Inquiry
Lynne Jacobs
Our senses are our most immediate connection to the world and to ourselves. In this class, we’ll explore how sensory awareness can become a bridge between body, mind, and deeper self-understanding.
