From the spiral galaxy milky way to the tendrils on a fern, movement of a photon, our bones naturally spiral form. The physical understanding of internal energy centres such as the dan tien (enteric nervous system), meridians through breath, movement and mental release are foundations of the practice. Such foundations can be incorporated into traditional structures and poses from Indian and Chinese systems of movement. While the majority of Calligraphy Yoga is fluid, continuous and gentle movements, it is connected to a larger system of athletic performance, healing, and philosophical traditions spanning Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism as well as modern concepts of anatomy and physiology. The classes are run by Certified Calligraphy Yoga instructor Sean Davis under Master Zhenhua Yang and will be ongoing. COST:
