Escape into the tranquility of the summer garden and discover the profound benefits of pausing. This class offers a gentle exploration of the 8 strands of brocade silk, an ancient practice designed to cultivate grace, harmony, and a deep sense of inner peace. Through careful gestures and breath awareness, you’ll learn to listen to your body’s wisdom and find a sense of calm. Allow the gentle rhythms of nature to deepen your breath, soften your body, and help you experience the world with renewed vibrancy. This class is open to all, regardless of experience. Come with curiosity and a desire to connect with yourself and the beauty of the outdoors.
Registration opens on June 11th at The Adult School of Montclair Website: www.adultschool.org.
