“Our Bodies as Water - An Ocean of Being.”
A World Yoga Mala Celebration
September 19 - 21 (International Day of Peace), 2008
With Lee Atwell
Salt Spring Island Centre for Yoga, B.C.

We may think of our bodies as being solid however, in this retreat
celebrating the International Day of Peace and the Global
Mala Yoga for Peace, we will consider ourselves as bodies of water
– an ocean of being – deep, fathomless, and ever flowing. We
will explore in our yoga practice the poles of opposites within us
as they relate to our watery nature – calm and turbulent, shallow
and deep, tidal rhythms rising and falling…“In the stormy ocean without boundary, pure love, pure love, pure love.” -- Ramprasad Sen, 18th Century

Time to rest, rejuvenate and take care of yourself. Fluid vinyasa sequences, pranayama, meditation, and spending time in silence and in nature will be the vehicles of our exploration.

We will also celebrate our interconnectedness with others with the intention of creating peace in the world - even for just one day a year, as proposed by Jeremy Gilley who established the International Day of Peace as set by the UN to fall on September 21st every year.
