Holding your Head Lightly

Saturday, January 10 - 12:00 to 2:00 PM

A Workshop in Alignment and Release

Cost: $ 50 In-studio

In this workshop, we will explore head placement in different asanas, focusing on the relationship between the head and neck through the lens of the Alexander Technique. By combining mindful movement with subtle awareness practices, you’ll discover how to release unnecessary tension and invite greater ease into your practice.

You will leave with:

• A clearer understanding of how head and neck alignment influences the whole body
• Practical tools to hold your head with more freedom and less strain
• A renewed sense of balance and lightness in your yoga practice
