Embracing Impermanence: Practice in the Time of Virus


Judith Hanson Lasater 1

Two-Day Virtual Workshop with Judith Hanson Lasater and Lizzie Lasater

No doubt we are living in stressful times. Even so, we are so lucky to have the practice of yoga as a potent tool to help us cope, and maybe even thrive and grow right now, regardless of the outer world’s conditions.

This online workshop will focus on the power of our practice to affect our mental, emotional, and physical health. In these two-hour sessions we will discuss the deepest teachings of yoga, and how we can use them to let go of our relentless mind and step into the present. We will learn tools for recognizing our emotions, then naming them, and finally receiving them as messages from our unconscious mind. And we will spend part of each session practicing asana so that we can embody yoga in our body and find a way to release deeply held stress.

The last part of the second session will be a long Savasana led by Judith. Above all, our goal is to learn real tools to help us “live our yoga” every day, on our mat and in the world. Join us to hear, digest, and live this yoga we love so much.
