A Collaboration between SheCoSystem & Daphne Gordon
Karma Questions* is a chance to connect mind and body through a gentle practice that combines yoga poses with writing prompts. Using movement, breath and sound along with pen-and-notebook reflection, we will listen in to the truth that exists beneath the buzz of daily life.
In this special year-end Karma Questions class, we will reflect back on 2015 and articulate intentions for 2016.
By sharing our reflections in a compassionate group, our realizations will become commitments to our deepest selves. We’ll be ready to align our actions with our intentions for the year ahead.
Participants will receive a follow-up guide to help you continue to embody your intentions as we move into the new year.
Experience of writing and/or yoga is absolutely not required for a Karma Questions class. Chair modifications will be offered for all poses.
- Wear comfortable clothes
- Yoga mats are available in the studio
- Bring a pen
- The SKETCH Movement Studio is located on the lower level of Artscape Youngplace
*With origins in ancient India, karma is a key concept in the Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh and Taoist traditions. Translated directly, it means work, actions, or deeds, and refers to the effects of one’s work-in-the-world. This is different than a job, a career or a business. Though the concept of karma may take paid work into consideration, it also includes the important unpaid actions we perform in our families, communities and creative lives.
