2019 Ahimsa Yoga and Music Festival

There is a synchronous duality and union to our minds and spirit, the “Yin” and the “Yang”. However, the modern world is a Yang influenced environment - frenetic, full of intensity, movement, and perfectionism. Often, our tranquil Yin dimension is undernourished. Our souls speak to us subtly about our need for balance, but we are too busy from our way of life the voices are drowned out by the noise. Many of us have a consistent energizing vinyasa practice, but many in the yoga community are rediscovering the benefits of a well honed, complementary Yin practice. Sessions with Alicia provide an accessible space that is energetic, soulful, and whimsical.
The journey begins with a dynamic flow that will feeds our Yang energy and warms the body. Movement bound to breath, precise alignment cues and humor will guide us on this part of our journey. We will learn to listen to our bodies, modify as needed, and push ourselves to an edge. Right past the edge is where our Yin practice starts. A slow, deep, and intentional sequence will bring us from our minds down thru our heart and grounded in love. This meditative experience with inspire curiosity and acceptance as we step into the many layers of our being. The holds will be longer allowing each practitioner to go deeper. Be prepared to feel the range as you sink further into yourself, unifying a healthy mind and spirit with intentional poses designed to assist your transformation. By honoring our two minds and spirits, we accept things as they come, and surrender to all as part of the great celebration of the self.
Alicia’s sessions are an accessible space with the sweet paradox of being both relaxed and energetic, and both soulful and whimsical.
