Part I: The Eyes in Asana - February 17
Part 2: The Eyes in Pranayama - March 3

Sundays, 3:30-5:30

Each part may be taken independently.

Part 1: The Eyes in Asana

We often let the eyes grasp, over-direct, and “run the show” on auto-pilot. Instead, cultivate greater awareness of the eyes and promote clearer, non-habitual ways of seeing. Learn exercises that release tension around the eyes and purify sight. Enhance your asanas by maximizing the usefulness of the eyes, especially for balancing, while also using the asanas to sharpen your sight. Expanding the act of seeing, open eyes elsewhere in the body to awaken its amazing intelligence. Finish by thanking and resting the eyes, directing the senses inwards to calm the nervous system and the mind.

Part 2: The Eyes in Pranayama

Increase the visibility of your life force, or prana. Learn breathing techniques that help you harness and direct this force to enhance longevity and and self-awareness. Use the breath, an ever-present and often under-acknowledged tool, as an inner eye. Explore yourself within to balance the I of the ego, or ahamkara—the “I-maker.” See surrender as “doing” without the ego, or eyeing without the I. Take a break from making the self by eyeing the Self that is already made, waiting to be seen for what it is.
