EMBODIED CONVERSATIONS
In this ongoing series of events and workshops, we take an embodied approach to entering contemporary conversations in the yoga world and it's intersection with the world at large.
SANGHA: yoga, relationship, and service
with Theo Wildcroft
In this workshop, we will explore the wisdom of communities and the many ways we find authenticity in our relationships together. We will discuss power and radical inclusivity, compassion and politics in practice, and how we can transform our teaching to offer a space of both refuge and challenge to the world we live in. We will wrestle with the definitions of ‘traditional’ and ‘commercial’ yoga, as part of a “billion-dollar industry” in which most teachers struggle to earn a modest income.
The workshop will run Friday evening and all-day Saturday.
