Embracing Opposites - a workshop with Freddie
How to feel whole and restore balance via a full yoga practice.
This workshop will be an exploration into movement and stillness, experiencing the dynamic and static, active and passive, strong and flexible. We will see how these opposites merge into one another through the use of two contrasting forms of movement, Slow Flow and Yin yoga, in a balance of effort and surrender. As you develop this awareness, it will teach you how to deal with your own dualities and embrace all aspects of yourself to achieve harmony.
This workshop is for anyone seeking a middle path. A comprehensive yoga practice that incorporates posture work, breathing exercises, and mindfulness. Feel more at ease with yourself, connected to others, and intertwined with the rest of the world.
