- Description

- Reviews
Play is not a luxury, it is a necessity, play is training for the unexpected. Many of the Yoga teachers and practitioners forget the path of Lila ( the divine play ).
We tend to take the practice in a dogmatic mode that we forget the goal and fall into a space of tiredness and boredom with our passion with yoga. This probably will lead us away from the fun and possibilities we had in the beginning stages of discovering yoga.
In this 7.5 hours Workshop, join Parveen Nair to discover your passion with Yoga, not only as an activity done on the mat but how to develop the sense of play even with life and to see pockets of playing opportunities with life from the light of Yoga.
This course contains of 3 separate live recorded sessions of Parveen’s workshop in Malaysia in June 2023, each session is 2.5 hours and Parveen takes you to different embodied plays that will definitely stimulate your senses and facilitate you in making sense of sensitivity in our own play.
This includes unlimited access to the class recordings through online streaming.
