The Breath:  How is it that we actually breathe?

Join Shari Ser for a community chit chat

Monday, Feb 27th from 7:30 – 8:30 pm pst on zoom

Do you ever wonder about the physicality of our breath?  Come learn about the intricate and beautiful dance between the diaphragm, the nasal passages, the lungs and other parts of our personal respiratory system.

In this community conversation we will discuss why the breath is so powerful helping us manage stress.  You may even learn about the connections between the respiratory system and the nervous system – including the vagus nerve.

Shari will bring her stories of the power of the breath gleaned from decades of experience with her personal practice, her years as a home health physical therapist and from teaching yoga.

A recording will be sent to anyone who registers.

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE CHIT-CHAT

Join us to learn more about Iyengar Yoga?  Got a question for the teachers?  Just want to hang out?  Our monthly community chit-chats are a time to get together less formally.

The yoga tradition offers us so much wisdom.  Even within Iyengar Yoga there is a universe of interesting topics to discuss.  Over a brief-one hour session we will take a deeper dive into one specific topic that we love.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our monthly community chit-chats are a time to get together less formally.  For many years, we would gather at the Iyengar Institute in Pune to chit-chat with Geeta Iyengar, Sunita Iyengar and now Abhijata and other RIMYI teachers.  We treasure these times together and look forward to bringing this tradition to Adeline Yoga.  Its a fun time to engage in stimulating conversation around important topics that relate to Vedic tradition and Iyengar Yoga practice specifically.

The purpose of our monthly gathers are to:

• Excite and inspire aspiring and current yoga students everywhere
• Give students access to our outstanding faculty, allowing them to get to know their teachers in new ways
• Expose students to facets of Iyengar Yoga that they might know know about
• Give teachers an opportunity to talk about topics they love

Throughout 2023, we will host a monthly chit-chat on the last Monday of the month, 7:30 pm pst on zoom.  The format will vary between a presentation, Q&A and group discussion. Breakout groups and other creative uses of zoom may happen!

Coming up:

• March – Yoga & Ayurveda – Monday March 13th as part of Student Appreciation Week
• April – Joytish:  How the “eyes of the vedas” can help you on your soul’s journey

Tuition:

Free!

A recording will be sent to anyone who registers.
