Cary, NC – “Seam Opener: Side Body Expansion and Strength”

Seam Opener: Side Body Expansion and Strength with Jennifer Campbell-Overbeeke

2.5 hours

When we bring attention to the release and connection of the side body (our lateral lines) we experience a sense of ease that is like no other. We find more space for deeper diaphragmatic breathing, release of tension resulting from asymmetrical movement patterns in the body due to many individual factors, and we draw a deeper more conscious connection to what it means to move from center.

This workshop will dive deep into the seams of the body in order to create space for deeper breathing, more fluid movement patterns and a deeper connection to the body as a responsive and evolving unit through the asana practice. We will begin with a brief introduction and then move into physical exploration including mindful core strengthening exercises, subsequently deeper side openers, twists and more that evolve from more yang to yin in nature. Following asana we will practice easeful pranayama and meditation to experience the space created and cleanse the main energetic channels of the body.

This workshop is open to all levels. One year of consistent yoga practice recommended.
