Bird of Paradise: A Two-Part Workshop Series (Pt 1)

About this event

Bird of Paradise: A Two-Part Workshop Series November 21 + 28 Bird of Paradise is a practice in resilience. We begin folded, twisted, bound, and close to the earth. From there, we’re asked to root down, find our balance, rise, and eventually expand. Not by forcing our way into the shape, but by finding both steadiness and ease along the way. Throughout this two-part series, we’ll break Bird of Paradise down piece by piece, exploring the foundations of binds, twists, hip mobility, single-leg balance, and the strength it takes to rise. Together, we’ll explore the practice of Sthira and Sukha, steadiness and ease, and how those qualities can help us cultivate resilience, confidence, and a deeper trust in ourselves and our practice. Each 90-minute class will give us space to explore technique, anatomy, drills, variations, and the full expression of the pose without rushing toward an end result. The goal isn’t just to make the shape. It’s to notice what we learn about ourselves on the way there. Come curious and ready to play. All levels are encouraged. Attendance to both is highly encouraged, but not required.
