Disintegration: Deep Vinyasa to The Cure w/ Heather Irene Smith

iPlease create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org This two-hour workshop pairs an atmospheric, fluid Vinyasa practice with the layered, hypnotic discography of The Cure. Guided by atmospheric flow and gothic soundscapes, this session pairs dynamic Vinyasa with autumn's reflective energy to create a deeply sensory movement ritual. The practice weaves together dynamic, rhythm-driven flow with reflective somatic holds. Anticipate grounding pranayama and setting the energetic container, before moving into an awakening & fluid warm-up slow, creeping floor movement to build internal heat and open the spine. We'll move into a dynamic darkwave vinyasa flow building through strong standing postures, balancing transitions, backbends, and heart openers. Movements are synchronized directly to the building tempo and texture of the music of the Cure. We'll then transition into Yin-inspired stretches, twist sequences, and restorative poses to down-regulate the nervous system before an extended savasana, breathwork & closing Integration (Note: This workshop is entirely experiential; there is no formal lecture or Q&A period).
