Yoga for the Here and Now

Life is asking every one of us some incredibly challenging questions right now, even as we navigate what used to be our comfort zones around “normal”, our perceptions of “safe”, and returning to our “regularly scheduled” duties and expectations. Not least among these questions is the matter of “who are you now?”

Join Ulrika Engman, founder of Yoga Journeys, and reemerge into your life with yoga in this five-day workshop. Step into the safety of your own skin, and day-by-day let’s choose to make living in the body more enjoyable. Each day a new process will be activated by Ulrika’s invitation to stay curious. We’ll learn how to use yoga to cultivate an inner glow and find movements that replenish the body’s vibrant energy flow.

In following Ulrika’s methods for drawing yoga and energy practice together, you will:

• Have the opportunity to deeply experience this unique blend of yoga practices, sequences, and movement rituals, all intended to peel away layers of restriction and allow the emergence of greater ease and freedom in living in the here and now.
• Explore spatial awareness, range of motion, breathwork, floor work, safe twists, backbends and inversions, and use them to build the framework for understanding healthy boundaries that create a liberating and refreshed comfort zone within the self. 
• Create a seven-minute signature glow practice each day to take home for daily use to nourish the vital energy source within.

The elements of nature – Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space – are the source of inspiration and guidance in the articulation of my movement and yoga practice. I use playful exploration of balance, gravity and momentum to connect the weight of the body with the lightness of breath and the forces of the elements. The intention is using movement and yoga as one of nature’s medicines and an uplifting healing art.
