The Power of Practical Spirituality

Just what is “practical spirituality”? From the lens of yoga, this begins with infusing a sense of vitality and possibility within the body at any age. In this workshop, Karin Stephan explores spirituality through the teachings of BKS Iyengar beginning with the realm of the concrete and applying the power of the asanas – including pranayama and savasana so that you can embrace aging with vitality and joy.

By seamlessly integrating body, mind, and spirit, Karin will guide you in unlocking the healing power of asana and pranayama to alleviate pain, stiffness, and weakness—common challenges that can restrict our ability to live life fully.  Pain can diminish joy, stiffness limits movement, and weakness challenges independence. Yet, yoga offers a path to transcend these barriers.  Asanas are not just physical postures but gateways to mental clarity and spiritual discipline.  Karin’s approach follows an acronym “WISE”—Wonder, Incrementality, Synthesis, and Equilibrium—a roadmap for integrating yoga into your life at any stage.

• Wonder: Approach each practice with a sense of curiosity and openness, allowing your body and mind to explore new possibilities – be willing to go from the known to the unknown.
• Incrementality: Learn to deconstruct the poses and build them slowly, gradually and gently.
• Synthesis: Gather and integrate your creativity and resources as a way of living harmoniously.
• Equilibrium: Cultivate balance—physically, emotionally, and mentally—so the practice nurtures your well-being.
