The Land of the Body with Elena Michalopoulou
The Land of the Body | Shakti Practices & Womb Yoga
We welcome the first full moon of the year on Saturday 11 January at 17:00 with a very special Womb Yoga class!
Yoni Shakti & Womb Yoga, is a holistic healing system inspired by tantra, yoga and ancient eastern traditions that honored women as Goddesses.
Uma Dismorte Tuli created Yoni Shakti/Womb yoga, a yoga system that not only addresses the female body and its cyclical nature, but places the womb as a source of creation and power (Shakti) at the center to honor it, along with all the archetypal qualities of our feminine nature.
The Land of the Body - workshop, as taught by Uma, is a comprehensive practice that focuses on moving and releasing Life energy gently from the whole body and nourishing the connection between the heart and the womb (Hridaya Yoni Nadi).
The theory behind The land of the Body-Shakti practice: (Hridaya Yoni Nadi):
The energy channel that connects the heart and the uterus is vital for every woman. A woman's connection from these two centers can be weakened whenever a woman is hurt, does not listen to her intuition, or does not honor her cyclical/feminine nature. The hands are the wings of our heart & the feet are the wings of our womb. This practice focuses on the energetic body of the womb and heart and also their wings, gently awakening the vital energy throughout the body.
Practice includes gentle movement in sitting and standing positions, Pranayama, & Υoga Νidra (deep relaxation). It is for every woman at every stage of her life and life cycle. Even if she has had her natural uterine organ or breasts removed, the energy imprint is still there.
