YOGA, with BMC & CONTINUUM Unfolding Body: A Divine Play of Flux and Form
|
The process of human movement arises out of our biological connection to the life of the sea. The
diverse fluctuations and motility of our fluid origins are available to us in the fluid system and
connective tissue of our bodies. In this session we will play with the archetypal shapes or form of
certain primary yoga asanas as evolutionary portals in the web of life forms: our oceanic origins the
development of life forms, even the developmental movement of babies.
Here yoga poses can be experiences as gestures, living questions born of the Great River of Life. This
approach emphasizes the classical still life of the pose and your own experiential inquiry. First, by
activating the fluid dynamics in the body through the breath and sound and intrinsic motion experiments
of Continuum Movement to prepare the asana. Then, with various core asanas as points of departure for
of the fluid dynamics.
evolutionary streams and tides and spirals remain in ongoing shifting relationship with gravity, light and
space. The body you inhabit is a living fluid prayer of exchange between Heaven and Earth.
