Humans, BEING: The purpose and Practice of Presence

Session 1 of The Yoga Your Way Conference

In today’s world, modern American culture seems to over-value doing and under-value being. Everyday life is often a fast-paced myriad of schedules, jobs, interactions, distractions, expectations, etc. With all of this kinetic energy running through our systems it is perhaps no coincidence that by the end of our day, many are not only tired but more to the point drained. On both individual and collective levels, feelings of disconnect, emptiness and isolation are rampant.

We are at a crossroads, and we must ask ourselves, “How can we live our everyday lives in a more conscious and sustainable way?” Join Carrington Jackson for Humans, BEING. Part asana, part mediation, part inquiry, and part sacred listening, this workshop offers an opportunity to slow down to find strength, investigation to find integration and presence to find purpose. All levels welcome. The class holds space for agency, reflection, personal expression of the poses and discernment. Please bring journal or other writing materials.
