May 7th - Saturday afternoon, 1-3pm intense vinyasa and meditation taught with Kelly Morris at Virayoga. Drag The Dark Into The Light. Elena collaborates with NYC’s Kelly Morris to offer powerful methods to discover, confront and integrate the darker aspects of ourselves, the aspects we deny and consequently outsource. These hidden, internal qualities keep us in knots of judgement, control and fear, all of which serve to separate us from ourselves and each other. Further, these knots tie up potent stockpiles of energy, energy you will learn to release and redirect. Expect intense vinyasa, in-depth breath instruction and take-home meditations to use both formally and on the fly. Kelly and Elena have taught a combined 31 years. Kelly’s long-time heart teacher is Geshe Michael Roach, whose teachings have, in subtle and circuitous ways, also impacted Elena’s work.
