As we are about to take the turn into the season of new beginnings, we are stoked to announce a special gathering at Union Square Yoga.
The premise and goal of this day is to focus on letting go of the winter’s slumber and touch on the beauty of blooming and renewal. After a long winter, spring equinox ushers a time where the energies of rebirthing and creativity are at their highest; an illuminating invitation to shed all our unwanted layers, open our hearts back up to new possibilities, delight in warmer days and cultivate an overall spirit of aliveness.
Through Ancient practices, Sound Therapy, Yoga, Meditation, Sharing Circles, Mindfulness modalities, we will explore together the various and rich tools that can help promote and support this holistic detoxification journey of the body, mind and soul, so you can kick off this new season shining your brightest light.
Take a look, and if you feel the pull, we would be thrilled to have you spend that special day with us.

EAGLE AND CONDOR YOGA | Vinyasa Meets Kashmiri

TIME 11:00 am > 1:00 pm
PRICE 40.000 LP
REGISTER email unionsquareyoga@gmail.com| Subject title: Eagle and Condor
DESCRIPTION Along with Pranayama and Meditation, this workshop is about balancing the active qualities of a fiery Vinyasa practice with a more surrendered and soft Kashmiri Yoga sequence, allowing you to explore the intricate interplay between feminine and masculine energies within yourself as complementary, rather than dichotomous.
We offer these modalities as an opportunity to perhaps shift your perception of the feminine and the masculine beyond gender discrimination, and help nourish the possibility that the time has finally come for Eagles and Condors to soar together in ample spiraling circles of harmony.

DESCRIPTION Though many of the Personal Development workshops and Yoga classes are gathering more and more men, a majority of them are still composed of mostly female participants. This gathering, exclusively reserved for men, is an invitation to re-visit the (thankfully) antiquated Men’s Club formula, to address themes pertaining to Personal Growth and Healing, as opposed to cigar-smoking, political analyses and binge-alcohol drinking rituals.
The session will address specific themes around masculinity, spirituality, emotional self, leadership, fatherhood, work-life balance, allowing participants to explore and share their unique experience of those themes.
