How to Work with Your Body
A Masterclass in breaking down essential yoga postures

Saturday, November 9
12:00PM - 2:30PM
@Cambridge Foundry

  • How do I know what’s best for me and my body?

    Body-love is being honest. Learn how to sense, interpret & trust the signals of your body.

  • How do I connect to my body’s voice and wisdom?

    We each have a unique “body-map” - an internal guide to help us visualize & act in our bodies’ best interests.

  • What's the benefit to my yoga practice?

    Your movements will emerge with more meaning and depth. Being embodied increases trust and confidence.

There is a lot of conversation occurring inside you - are you “listening”?

Rae Estapa, creator of More to Love Yoga, will lead a Masterclass on how to listen to, speak & co-act with your body.

In this experiential Masterclass, participants will be guided through proven ways to develop a richer connection with one's own body landscape. Each of us has a unique “Body-Map” – an internal orientation for how we sense, understand (and ultimately) direct our bodies. Building upon the foundations of More to Love Yoga’s methods of body-awareness (Body/breath, mentality, heart-space & wholeness), this Masterclass is ideal for those seeking to go deeper into yoga & body-love practices.
