Ever wonder about the roots of the Yoga Asanas, or if those ancient names and stories have any connection to contemporary life? Through Hatha Yoga, storytelling, and revelatory personal inquiry work, we will explore and embody these rich archetypes, and learn their relevance to our lives. Then we will raise our voices in song to celebrate the divine within us all.

The wise ones understood that the stories we tell shape our lives. Come experience the depth of that truth.

The asana and stories will come from Niema, and Johanna will lead us in Kirtan with her band Rhythmantra (Angela Grace Greenwood, George Beekman , Lyris cooper).

The last hour is a by-donation kirtan; you need not attend the workshop to attend the kirtan.
