Rewilding Yoga by Bailey Williams
See schedule for class times! We will have a class each day of the festival.
We co-evolved with the living world. Our nervous systems are listening for balance and connection, poised to respond to anything with grace and grounding. That said, we live in a time of disconnection from the natural world, which separates our bodies from natural rhythms and inundates our bodies with stress on a cellular level. This practice will gently call on our innate bodily wisdom to feel grounded and connected. You’ll leave this practice feeling spacious and gathered. Expect meditative, breath-based movement and awareness exercises to connect with your own inner rythmns. No experience required.
Stay tuned for other workshops being added in for 2024!
