Have you ever, through your yoga practice and teaching, wondered how what we know on the mat applies to all movement in life? Come discover the heart of movement -- both on the mat and off! As Father of Modern Yoga Krishnamacharya reminds us, all movement can be asana.... We will discover the interesting conversation that EmbodiYoga and Bones for Life/Movement Intelligence are having with one another among those who study both movement disciplines... and, with this new lens, be among the first in Cincinnati and the world that are beginning to peer more deeply into the box Patanjali opened with the Yoga Sutras.
