Moving Into Being

Yoga Meets Nondual Meditation

********************************************

Depth, Access, and Explorative Play

This series is a rich combination of accessible yoga movements and nondual Realization Process (RP) meditations that promote strength, balance, vitality, depth, stillness, unity, and so much more. This innovative series will spark your curiosity and creativity as you play with practical skills:

********************************************

Encourage access to the aliveness in your body by developing a progressively deeper relationship with yourself.

Begin with easily perceptible sensations and add depth until you can access all of you.

Session 1: Thread of Continuity

Discover and follow the continuity within your own body and the continuity between yourself and the rest of the world.

Session 2: Receiving and Responding to Continuity

Experience a transformative shift in movement that uses the tension you feel to find the support, ease, and space you crave. Unravel fascia into luscious, full body experiences. Feel the forces of gravity, the earth, and your own movement rebound through your body.

Session 3: The Continuity of Space

Move with the ease and support of oneness. Don’t try harder, use less effort to get the same results. 

Session 4: Balance, Stillness, and Consciousness

Experience the stillness of a balanced mind. Experience power and tenderness at the same time. BE powerful and tender at the same time. Access the healing and empowering gifts of wholeness.

You’ll move from the physical experiences in your fascia, muscles, and bones, into your joints and the space inside the joints. Eventually you’ll arrive in your wholeness where you can experience a sense of home and mental ease. 

********************************************

Cultivate a sense of self-possession and self-confidence by reclaiming the internal space of your whole body.

These practices will help you literally feel the internal space of your body so that you can inhabit it more fully. It’s way easier to get there if you know where you’re going 😉

********************************************

Restore trust in your inner wisdom by moving and receiving with your whole being.

Whether you’re brand new, or are already familiar with nondual meditation and RP, the physical practices and meditations you’ll learn in this series will deepen your access to fundamental consciousness and build your capacity to experience it.

You’ll walk away from the series with warm ups and training practices for embodiment the same way pianists might practice scales and vocalists might do warm ups to activate full range and tone. 

If you’ve been practicing RP and wondering if you’re really feeling some practice or just imagining it, this series of physical practices will give you palpable feedback so you know if you’re doing the practices or imagining them.  

********************************************

Woven through this meditative series are invitations to feel vibrantly alive, substantive and secure, and at home in your own body.

Appropriate for all bodies who are able to move between the floor and standing easily.

No prior meditation or yoga experience necessary.

What past participants have said…

Jessica K

This workshop is something that I would attend again to refresh my skills and learn something new. Two years after the workshop I still use the techniques I learned! They still do wonders for my body.

Jessica K

This was a life-changing workshop for me. I can only imagine what will manifest in the days to come, in terms of body alignment. My perspective on movement has been revolutionized.

Sarah H.

I Just spent an amazing weekend learning from Leigh, and walked away, or should I say glided or floated away, with some really incredible new awareness of my body.

Stephanie

The way we practice yoga poses and moved during the class felt like true yoga to me.

Gayla

I have been looking for years for something to bridge the concepts of Rolfing to yoga. You've done it.

Helen L.

It is clear Leigh has a passion and deep love for learning about keeping the body healthy and thriving for the whole life span, and sharing her knowledge in a relatable way.

Jenny

Thank you profusely for such a wonderfully enlightening workshop.

Sarah

Super effective in helping me access those subtle fascia-level movements & allow them to move throughout my body in different ways than I'd been able to before. The teachings have stuck with me & I love it!

Cynthia maybe

The practices are so sweet and luscious even as we are holding powerful poses.

Susan L.

Something that stood out to me was how humble she was while sharing this life changing way of moving. It was so powerful and present in my body.

Mo

You are an outstanding instructor, making very difficult concepts accessible and applicable I am grateful.

Bonnie

I very much appreciate her ability to help me tune into deeper levels of awareness of my body.

Cynthia maybe

You've got to be careful about opening up people so much and then sending them down the road into so much beauty.

Magdelena

I knew you were a yoga teacher and had a lot to offer, but I had no idea the caliber of your teaching and the depth of your understanding.

Helen again

The fascia workshop made me even more in love and in awe with the body and it's capacity to heal and feel good.

Frequently Asked Question

It sounds SO great but it’s not a time of day that I can practice. Are there other options?

If you are in a different time zone or life is full and you will only be able to view recordings, please reach out for the alternative $68 pricing. Videos will be available for 3 months.

Does this course count as Yoga Alliance continuing education credits?

Yes! I am a Yoga Alliance Certified Education Provider.

Will I really be able to practice for 2 hours?

Yes! Classes are designed to be physically sustainable and meditations are weaved throughout the class. Variations are provided for all bodies. You’ll be enthralled exploring the different ways to access yourself and time will fly. I’ll also be sure to give you a solid savasana to savor your experience and rest.  

Are online Zoom classes actually effective?

Yes! I’ve been shocked how effective online yoga has been. Truth be told, before COVID I was doubtful of the benefits of online yoga classes. Thankfully, COVID forced me into online delivery and I was simply blown away. I bought myself a large screen TV to see all the Zoom boxes and I’ve found that, even with a partial view of only 1/4 of your body, I can see your alignment and give individual guidance. Cueing looks different online… it might invite widening your front leg towards the desk, or couch, or dog but it certainly works beyond my wildest imagination. Feedback from online students is that they are amazed that I can provide helpful individualized cues down to their toes. This is one reason that the workshop is capped at 15 participants…so I can give you what you need.

One gift of nondual meditation is that it dissolves boundaries so we can experience the innate oneness permeating all things, even via Zoom. It sounds oovy-groovy, and I guess it is. oozy-groovy doesn’t mean it’s fake, it means we can’t explain how it works. Long story short, I know that the live guided group practices and meditation will strengthen and carry your practices similar to if you were in person.

Another benefit of online classes is access to the recordings. You’ll be able to do the whole weekend again or scan through and repeat parts that resonated well or were challenging. The practices are rich enough that you’ll still get new access doing them a second, third, or forth time. I’m still finding gifts, and I’ve been playing with these practices for many many years.

Do I have to have yoga experience?

No! The movements and guidance will be simple enough that even if you are new to yoga you will benefit. However, if you are new to yoga you will want to have a set up where you can view the demonstrations easily. Pairing a device to a TV monitor is ideal, but using a computer, laptop, or tablet will suffice. There may be some challenges if you are only using a cell phone.

Do I need to have yoga props?

No! You do need to have floor space to practice but you don’t need a yoga mat, block, or straps. In your pre-workshop email, I’ll give you all sorts of suggestions for appropriate substitutes for any props that we will need. With creativity, it is easy to find a substitute for just about anything you’ll need.

Do I need to have meditation experience?

No! This workshop is designed with practices begins with easy access points and then moves through incrementally more challenging and integrative practices. The whole idea of the weekend is that you’ll be guided into wholeness through movement practices that give you more and more access to your subtle body and the nuances of nondual meditation.

Do you need to see me when I practice?

Ideally, yes. You will still benefit from watching and practicing along, but I will be better able to provide you what you need (and see what you need) if you practice with your camera on. I don’t need to see your whole body to give you individual guidance for yoga and meditation. Others in the group will be able to see you if they choose to have their screen on gallery view.

(During yoga practice, everyone is so caught up in their own practice that they won’t have time to look at you 😉)
