$17.00

We are part of nature And nature is part of us. We are not separate yet we can feel separate when we forget our connection. Our busy distracted lives can pull us away from our center and block creativity. When we remember our connection, we have the ability to feel more grounded, centered, peaceful and creative. In this class we will explore the elements and the chakras through mindful movement, breath and meditation. Please bring a mat, blanket, strap and block.

Description

Katherine Schaefer

Katherine began practicing yoga in 1993 and teaching in 1996. She has been an active member of YAGD (Yoga Association of Greater Detroit) since 1997. After teaching for five years she was drawn towards yoga therapy at which point she began to focus her energy and resources to more training in the field and has accumulated more than a thousand hours of continuing education. Being a curious student of life, she continues to host and attend several workshops and intensives every year in all subjects related to the human body and movement. Doug Keller was instrumental in Katherine’s foray into Yoga as Therapy and introduced her to the work of Tom Myers of Anatomy Trains, which she has gone on to study and incorporate into her teaching. Most recently she has been greatly influenced by Arthur Kilmurray who introduced her to the work of two somatic pioneers, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen (founder of Body Mind Centering) and Emilie Conrad (founder of Continuum Movement). Katherine now teaches experiential anatomy and enthusiastically shares her knowledge using a variety of methods to facilitate her students in connecting to their bodies and moving more fluidly, with ease. Katherine’s commitment to honoring the spirit of Yoga while integrating contemporary knowledge in the field of somatics is a potent combination. Katherine teaches public and private yoga classes. In addition to instructing yoga she has been a Vedic Astrologer since 1995, a massage therapist since 1996 and a Reiki Master/Teacher since 1998
