Strength, Grace & Stillness: A Vinyasa Yoga Workshop
Jodi Boone- Sunday 06 March 2011
- 2:00 - 4:30
Yoga allows us to explore ourselves on the deepest levels physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Grace is the fine balance of strength and softness - if there is too much emphasis on strength, we become rigid and if there is too much softness, we have no stability. Grace also transcends the physical. With grace, we have the awareness to fully see and receive the beauty of life, as well the ability to navigate the difficult times skillfully... more
