Body Leads, Mind Follows

Before the mind decides, the body already knows. Body Leads, Mind Follows is a 45 minute yoga session rooted in Andean tradition, guided by Taylor Nickens.

We move like a mountain. Through the poses we honor the three worlds of Andean cosmology. Uku Pacha, the world below, where we root down and release what we no longer need. Kay Pacha, the world we stand in now, where we find our footing and steady our breath. And Hanan Pacha, the world above, where we rise to meet the view from the summit.

Each session in this series honors a different plant spirit, and closes with a tea or mocktail crafted around that plant, so you can taste the medicine you just moved through.

This month we honor echinachea.

"I rise stronger for what I've resisted. I am my own protector."

Come as you are. All levels welcome.
