DESIGNING YOUR HOUSE (Thursday July 2nd)
with Abbie Galvin

In our first session we'll set up the grid and goal of our endeavor; to create a sustainable home practice for our stability, enhanced creativity and longevity. Any formal practice will demand a map, timing, measure, and way to move thru its territory. Even before we begin, we'll discuss its purpose, its benefits, and the techniques required to nourish it.  A home practice is a behemoth. It develops, grows, deepens, and flourishes with time and attention. The purpose of our first session is to open a portal to a private practice that is repeated with refined technique, over time. 

BUILDING YOUR HOUSE (Thursday July 9th)
with Abbie Galvin

Our second session is exploring the practice thru the lens of the magic square. If we are looking at the metaphor of building a house, our first task to build its foundation. We will introduce the poses of the practice, like the framework of a house..... the sequence of the practice and its demands of our technique over time.

FILLING YOUR HOUSE (Thursday August 6th)
with Abbie Galvin

In our 6th session we will discuss breath techniques and routes that fill our forms. Filling the house begins a whole new level of experience and depth. Breathwork in the poses themselves creates the house as a home. The breath in the forms engages the imagination and our attention to stay present and to delve deeper inside in order for each of us to become a sphere unto ourselves.

ORGANIZING YOUR HOUSE (Thursday August 20th)
with Abbie Galvin

In session 8 we'll explore some of the pitfalls of  how we are moving thru, approaching, creating, impeding, and tripping over, our personal abode. Any huge private endeavor includes obstacles, doubts, delusions, and demons to battle against. Most are of our own making, but nonetheless real. Some of our "resistances" are easily reconciled, others are long held patterns in our habitual behavior that are trickier to decipher, and still others are relieved by sharing with others. Some are the difficulty of the poses themselves, or previously unexplored injuries, some are more internal like not being able to follow thru or the friction of self doubt. All include the desire we all share, of safety. 

LIVING IN YOUR HOUSE (Thursday August 27th)
with Abbie Galvin

Session 9 will be a discussion of how to sustain our practice over time, and the expected plateaus we'll face as we move thru our daily practice alone, inside ourselves, with the redundancy of pattern. We'll discuss when to change it, amend it, vary it, and how to do that without collapsing the home inside that we have built.
