The fire element governs our solar plexus, which is the home of personal power. Our ego, sense of self, inner and physical strength, determination and dedication are all related to this energy center. How we show up in the world, how we relate to, what inspires us and why is the focus of this workshop.
Where do you find the wisdom to navigate your own uniqueness? What are the best sources of wisdom for you? Do you shy away from a challenge or do your over commit and find yourself left feeling burnt out? Understanding where your journey begins is essential.
This workshop will hold a space for you to question your motivations. Where you are in your journey and where you can take it. Tap into your inner coach, look at your deepest values, and acknowledge the critical voices and determine their validity. Is this voice really something you need to act on or is it the voice that has always keep you doing the same thing because it feels safe and familiar?
It’s time to tap into your power and own it, and you own it by stepping up to whatever challenges confront you rather than running away.
One way is to join us as we lead you through 108 Sun salutes – The act of practicing 108 Sun Salutations draws together some very potent yogic practices that help us to work through challenges. Bhakti (devotion, when we are devoted we act from the heart) Seva (Selfless service) and Tapas ( effort, heat, discipline, zeal). (click here to read more about Surya Namaskar (108 Sun Salutes))
There are times when we feel sluggish and disconnected, but when we turn up the heat – our burning desire to make an impactful difference pierce through our concerns, doubts, and fears that hold us back. Have you ever felt that burst of energy that arises from knowing full body you’ve had enough? You have to change, to act, cause it hurts too much to do nothing This is an effortful act of surrender towards a higher purpose. This is equally a legitimate and potent opportunity to uplift and reinvigorate your yoga practice. To bring in the fire to transform the mundane to the extraordinary.
“I am told the Sun represents the physical and spiritual heart of the world. We salute the Sun to give thanks for a new day filled with life-giving light and sustenance. Based on the sacred cycle of 108- Surya Namaskar is a complete practice of mind, body, spirit. During the Ground to Grow Workshop I was given the opportunity and supported to participate in this powerful sequence that allowed me to lengthen, strengthen, flex and extend many of the main muscles of my body while distributing the prana flow throughout my system. The fluid, rhythmic postures awakened the energy of my Inner Sun that laid dormant in my navel center for so long following my executive lifestyle and some recent trauma that caused me to feel numb and out of touch with my creative and playful side. As I moved through the postures I felt at ease even though I was focused in my mind and enlivened in my breath. It warmed my body and cultivated my inner fire. I walked away following this challenging and exhilarating karmic marathon feeling strong and able to face anything. I felt at peace yet awakened. I felt full of light and grace. I felt great. This workshop paved a path to the receptive state of meditation and transformation for me and I am so grateful for the experience that Tanya and Alison created for me” – Mariza
