As Ashtanga practitioners, we often hear the phrase: ‘Listen to your body’. While this is a meaningful reminder, it can also feel abstract and challenging to truly understand. Most of us only “listen” to our bodies when we experience extremes—pain or pleasure—missing the subtle intelligence of our felt sense during practice.
By weaving music and sound into our yoga practice, we can access our emotions and deeper layers of awareness. Sound becomes a bridge to presence— this is where true listening begins.
In this 3-day workshop, we will explore how to deepen our ability to listen to our body—through the senses of hearing (music, sound), felt sense, and slow movement energy-based practices such as meditation, breath, and bandha.
