Yoga Narratives classes are based on the idea that each body perceives and records its own stories in its own unique way. It creates narratives, tells them to its cells and through them, it acts, reacts and interacts.
Through the practice of yoga, as a tool for observing and cultivating consciousness, both in our external and internal movements, the invitation to these classes is to explore the questions:
"What is the story I am telling my cells?"
"Which parts of it are limiting to my body and which parts empower me?"
"How can I amplify, and perhaps, integrate the narrative I choose?"
At the same time, through the basic theory of storytelling, which comes in the form of thematic reflections, a course is structured to support this exploration creatively.
