The Glands are an intricate web of structure and function that supports our central core. This core runs from the floor of the pelvis to the center of the cranium and integrates the musculoskeletal system, the diaphragms, the organs, and the nerves. With the felt impact of sacred poetry we will learn to embody the endocrine system, by exploring each individual gland; the glands in dynamic supportive relationship to each other; and how the glands and musculoskeletal system integrates movement into crystalline states of consciousness.

EmbodiYoga looks at the relationship of movement to all the systems of the body, not just the musculoskeletal system. While muscles and bones are vitally important organizing principles for teaching yoga and movement, we will use this weekend to explore how the body/mind organizes itself around the endocrine system/glands and the information they bring us.
