WHAT MATTERS MOST
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke
The Path is offering this retreat to encourage you and support you in turning toward your deepest wisdom. In whatever stage of life you find yourself, it is important to recognize and be attuned to your unique and individual contribution and purpose. It is of great meaning to further understand that this gift of your life is not separate from collective purpose and can be lived in support and service to the well being of all people.
This workshop will create a safe and supportive environment in which to consider the question “What am I choosing to do with what is left of my life?”

Dynamic Embodied Alignment
Yoga Workshop with Swan assisted by Dominique
[sharethis]
The purpose of this workshop is to open up and to broaden your entry into many possible dynamic routes for the improvement of alignment. This workshop will give you an embodied and fluid experience of posture, it will connect you to the aliveness and ever changing tensions of the body, relieving stress from any habits of a fixed or static postural stance.
ALIGNMENT supports elements integral to practice. Firstly, SAFETY and protection of the joints. Awareness of where your body is in space is important to prevent the risk of physical injury. Secondly, the embodied concentration of discovering your alignment serves as a focal point for the mind. This discovery then frees you to go beyond the mind.
We will play with gravity, space, lines of force, intention, adaptation, optimization, lightness & grace. Yes, we will have fun. Come and inform your body-mind about what’s possible through Dynamic Embodied Alignment.
