CYA FACILITATOR: SANTANA HEMENWAY (CYA-RYT 200 Member)
Discover a beautiful union of an ancient tool and our beloved ancient practice of yoga. Designed for all levels - the seasoned yogi or curious beginner - this unique workshop provides the option to combine traditional yoga asana and pranayama with the strength and power of steel mace. We will go over the basics of wielding a mace while moving through Asana's slowly to enhance integration. Alignment and strength will be our focus as we will ignite the flow state with our breath, welcoming in union. Join us for a transformative experience. Bring your curiosity, open mind and heart and welcome this unique variation into your practice.
What to Bring:
No steel mace? That's okay! It is not mandatory for this workshop. You can bring a dowel or a broomstick, or come as you are.
If you don’t already own a steel mace but would like to purchase one, check out White Lion Athletics - 7lb mace with a 1.25” diameter handle

Meaning and purpose are innate and integral to all life- whether it is a bacterium, a lily, a butterfly, a deer, or a human being. The main difference is that humans become conscious of the pursuit of meaning and purpose whereas the others pursue it unconsciously.
In biology, pursuing purpose and meaning in life is called Homeostasis. Homeostasis is striving for survival, well-being, and the desire to reach our peak potential.
Some think that life is inherently meaningless or that we have to create our own meaning and purpose. The many life traumas alienate us from our inherent purpose and meaning. The most universal and unrecognized trauma is social and cultural conditioning.
But it is possible to become aware of our inherent purpose, and as we follow it, we gain access to meaning and sustain it throughout our lives.
