Embodied Anatomy: Endocrine and Yoga

Service Description

Subtle Anatomy: Cycling through the glands- mapping the endocrine system through physical, emotional, psychological and mystical states. The glands in our bodies, known as our endocrine system, have a profound effect on our physiological functioning and how we move and feel in our bodies. The qualities of the endocrine glands bring lightness of being. Energetically, they connect to specific bones and joints and give support to our skeletal structures from within. They affect our quality of movement through their relationship with one another, allowing expression to travel outward from within. The endocrine glands are one of the subtlest manifestations of energy in the physical body, relating to the chakras in subtle energy modes and following pathways of inter-, intra-, and transpersonal models of human development. There is much to discover in this workshop. We’ll move at a pace to carefully differentiate each point of energy, its physiological function, physical support, emotional and psychological relationships and re-integrate for a complete experience. September 19, 10-1:30 p.m. Bring water and a light snack (optional)as we’ll take a few short breaks during our session. Wear layers, as temperatures may fluctuate throughout the process. If possible, keep the rest of your day spacious and unrushed as the energetics of this process can linger. If you are experiencing any acute physical, emotional or psychological distress, please consider how you can best support yourself or even if this workshop is right for you at this time. Disclaimer: this process is within the context of yoga and movement and is not meant to pathologize or diagnose any particular mental, physical or emotional conditions. Please be aware of your own needs for self-care and respect for others as it is possible we may share parts of our experience in a field of trust and confidentiality.
