Exploring Effort + Ease: the Alchemy of Balance

  • Earthly Bodies Yoga 110 Cabot Street Beverly, MA USA (map)

As the season flows through the sign of Libra, the scales balance all that is during this transitional time. Light dances with shadow, and we find a sustainable mix of effort and ease as the days cool and the growing season ends. Cultivating a blend of the two brings us into a higher state of awareness and vibration, resonating through body, mind, and spirit.

In the body, the alchemy of ease and effort can be felt viscerally. Sthira Sukham Asanam roughly translates to “Asana is a steady and comfortable posture.” Patanjali described this concept in his Yoga Sutras, which in modern times we often express as flexibility/strength, steadiness/flow, effort/ease in regard to our physical practice. When we strike this balance in our bodies, our mind and spirit follows.

Join Chrissy Vaccaro for an exploration of effort and ease in your practice. Cultivate awareness of nuance on your mat through familiar yoga poses. This workshop is vinyasa and restorative style with slower pacing to allow time for depth of observation and sensation.
