Awareness heals. The way to own your yoga practice is to understand it. In this workshop, we’ll explore somatics (mind-body integration) to break through the mystique that surrounds yoga, integrating modern science with traditional yogic teachings. In this comprehensive 3-hour workshop, you will:

• develop awareness of your own mind-body system and leave with a body map of how common groups of postures inform your physical and energetic body.
• learn which postures ground you, and how to handle postures that trigger you.
• challenge what it means to have an advanced yoga practice.
• develop a practical toolkit to guide your practice and increase your intuition.

This workshop will feature in-depth lecture, asana practice, meditation, and breathwork. You have the power to unleash the healing potential of yoga!

Anne Seveska holds an MA in Clinical Psychology and is a practicing Somatic Therapist as well as a certified yoga teacher. Diana Eisiminger is a Napa Valley Yoga Center yoga teacher and holistic health coach.

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of healing and wellness. This traditional science of self-care supports each individual’s healing power, recognizing his or her strengths and imbalances.  It empowers you to manifest physical, psychological, and nutritional change through remedies and treatments geared to your specific constitution (your Doshic makeup). If you’ve been curious to learn more about Ayurveda, this is your chance. Tony Howell is a Napa Valley Yoga Center yoga teacher with certification in Ayurvedic Clinical Foundations from the Dhyana Center.
