Nourish the mind, body, and soul with a meditative paddle and synergistic mindful movement blending yoga, qigong, and intuitive embodiment. Attuning our inner landscape to our immediate environment—the beyond-human world—we learn to embody the wisdom of other Life forms. Movements are largely inspired by the wisdom of local flora and fauna. The rootedness of the cottonwoods inspire steadfastness and equanimity; the gentle sway of willow reeds model moving though the winds of change with ease; the flowing water within the banks reminds us of the importance of structure. As we return to our senses, awakening our animal bodies, we sink into presence—clear, calm, and alert.
Join for a contemplative morning of connection to our bodies, the elements, and our bosque kin. Each outing will include a mindful paddle and an on-land flow. All paddling and yoga levels welcome. Participants are asked to provide their own yoga mat or may choose to practice directly on the sand. MST will provide paddle guidance and paddle board equipment.
