Embodied Organic Flow
Awakening Body
A two and a half hour embodiment experience with Tina Shettigara
Fully inhabiting the state of embodiment is to bring somatic awareness to every moment. Conscious Movement, Embodiment Practice, Embodied Movement are expressions people are using to describe a way of cultivating such awareness.
In this workshop we embrace Conscious Movement practice to explore the idea of being “organic,” relating to or derived from living matter, and/or organic, as in our relationship to our organs, and being anchored in our organs!
We also play with the word flow, which in the yoga world has come to be synonymous with vinyasa, linked and connected practice of āsana, yoga postures. We also explore how we experience the flow of energy in our bodies, and the flow of our fluid mass, or of our organs within the body, shifting as we change position.
Movements may sometimes appear as yogāsana, but you should be prepared to depart from the yoga formulae to roll on the floor and embrace free form movement through space as you undertake your embodiment experiments.
This fluid and organic embodied inquiry will culminate in a long śavāsana.
