What is “Balance” all about? Finding – no less maintaining – balance is a physical and mental, and a moment-to-moment challenge. In this workshop, our quest for balance will consist of bringing long-lasting and stabilizing effects to benefit our mental state, the health of our organs, the toning of our muscles and tissues and our body posture. We’re seeking to reconcile the two sides of our brain and re-create healthy habitual patterns while reducing or eliminating stress levels; stabilize the body and reduce toxins to recover wellbeing and health; improve flexibility to avoid fractures in case of falls. Our practice will explore specific balancing breathing techniques associated to mudras and bandhas; methods to focus our energy on certain parts of the body in order to identify our center of gravity; massage and acupressure (from Traditional Chinese Medicine) in yoga postures; guided meditations and visualizations; and restorative “self yoga nidra.”
