Intelligent by Design, Fluid by Nature. Fluid: is a substance that continually flows under an applied stress; smooth, flowing, graceful. Fluid is not a style, it is a recognition of life as ever changing, flowing from one moment to the next. It’s a way of life. Fluid Modules Fluid Body – an approach to movement that allows for freedom and exploration while aligning the body in a safe and efficient manner. Unlike a mechanical or precision based alignment, this approach of movement honors the dynamic nature of the yoga practice and keeps the body safe without disrupting the flow. With simplicity in mind, Fluid Body provides students and teachers with easy methods for understanding safe alignment. Acknowledging that the safest alignment starts within the mind, you will learn how to listen carefully to your own body to make the intuitive adjustments that your body needs in the present moment. Fluid Mind – Is it possible to become happier and more content by letting go of fear, craving and attachment? Fluid Mind infuses a Tibetan Buddhist approach to mind training to help us become more present and adaptable to change, and ultimately discover a happier way of living. In this module, we will learn the science behind mind training, the four foundations of practice, and meditations including: shamata, loving kindness and tong-len. Additionally, we will explore the benefits of yoga nidra (yogi sleep) and deep relaxation exercises. Fluid Spirit – We often think of life as static snapshots that are put together to form a bigger picture but in reality the nature of life is flowing from one moment to the next. Since life is fluid, we would all benefit from discovering a state of mind that allows us to move with the forces of nature instead of against them. Fluid Living teaches us to move effortlessly through life in a way that creates happiness within ourselves and spreads to those around us. This module uses experiential learning and real world examples while drawing on the ancient Tibetan yogic philosophies such as the Six Paramitas as outlined The Bodhisattva’s Way of Living.
