Welcome Spring: Fresh and Fun Springtime Yoga

March 25–27, 2022

with Ulrika Engman

Sluggishness from winter begone!  Kick your heels into the air and welcome the spirit of spring with a fresh and fun Spring cleansing yoga workshop. We’ll lighten the load of winter lingering in our bodies with springtime Sun Salute variations revolving around the Solar Plexus to stimulate metabolism and a radiant flow of energy.

All practices focus on sloughing off the old and welcoming new energy with playful flows, gentle backbends, and energizing movement. Learn prana pulsing, coconut oil joint rejuvenation, simple chi activation, the art and science of dry brushing for healthy skin, and tension clearing yoga for the face and feet.

Certified in Anusara Yoga and the Halprin Life Art Process, Ulrika blends holistic practices of yoga, somatic movement therapy, and Swedish skin rituals with the elements of nature into movement medicine for body and mind. The many layers and systems of the body are addressed with balanced attention given to the physical and the energetic, form and formless, along with unique individual and more universal patterns. Think of Ulrika’s approach to yoga as anatomy and astronomy combined in body and mind.

Bring your playful self, a dry brush, and body oil for the skin to assist in this innovative and fun Yoga Spring Renewal. We’ll make spring cleaning fun.

Open to all levels with a minimum of three months yoga practice.
