Goddess Durga & Kali

Class Description

In this workshop, you are invited to step into the powerful teachings of Goddesses Durga and Kali, who embody courageous love, inspirational fortitude, and unyielding compassion. Cast as heroines in the epic text Devi Mahatmyam, they call on us to recognize our liabilities, reconcile our fears, and remember our divine nature. Through storytelling/discussion, imagery, chanting, and asana, we will feel inspired and armed to integrate these teachings meaningfully into our everyday lives. The physical practice will focus on twists and hip openers. This sequence is designed to bring balance to the spine and side body, allowing the low back to release skillfully as we move toward deep and satisfying hip openers. A combination of standing, seated, and supine poses will cultivate internal awareness and result in the deep, lasting release we all crave. This workshop is open to all levels, although some experience with vinyasa yoga is recommended. Booking for this workshop is non refundable due to limited space.
